Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.

Why Spike Recovery Fails for Cannabis Flower: Using Sequential Extractions to Validate Cannabinoid Extraction Efficiency
For cannabis flower, cannabinoids occur at concentrations far too high for traditional spike recovery experiments to meaningfully assess extraction efficiency. Even large spike additions contribute only a small fraction of the total analyte mass, making recovery results insensitive to extraction performance. This article explains why extraction efficiency for cannabinoid methods must instead be established through matrix-exhaustive, sequential extraction studies.
