How to Distinguish Between Hemp and Cannabis Plants Using Raman Spectroscopy

A large data set from Washington (140,000 flower samples) is scrutinized here for evidence of consistently propagated strains with higher than a 2-to-1 ratio.

Are There Limits to the Range of Possible Cannabinoid Ratios in Plants?

This tutorial article outlines a holistic approach to scaling up.

Scaling Up Facilities for Hemp  and Cannabis Production:  An Engineering Primer

Here we review the current and pertinent literature in utilizing cannabis derivatives in animals and discuss the future forecast of cannabis in veterinary medicine.

Cannabis for Animals: A Look Into Cannabis as Medicine for Pets

This article explores how vapor pressure differentials (VPD) affect transpiration rates in cannabis plants. Understanding of VPD at different temperatures and relative humidities, and its effect on this process, is important to gain maximum plant growth.

Understanding VPD and Transpiration Rates for Cannabis Cultivation Operations

The cannabis industry is constrained by the continued use of acronyms and nonstandard abbreviations for strain naming in lieu of a scientific-based standardized classification convention or lexicon. Applying chemometric tools can result in not only the authentication of a given cannabis cultivar but also provide a quality control mechanism for both cannabis flower and any resulting cannabis-based drugs.

Making Sense of Cannabis Strains Through Chemometrics in Review

Driven by the need to save energy and reduce operational costs, indoor growers are turning to alternative means of illuminating their cannabis crop. In more and more indoor grows, high-intensity discharge lamps (HIDs) are being swapped out for light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Cultivating with LEDs: Past, Present, and Future

George Anastassov, the CEO of AXIM Biotech, recently spoke to us about the current good manufacturing methods (cGMPs) his company has developed, their significance to the market, and plans for the future.
