Cannabis Conference, produced by Cannabis Business Times, draws ~3,000 attendees from nearly all 50 states and 30 countries and is known for its industry-leading education program that is focused on helping plant-touching cannabis businesses succeed.
Here is a glimpse at a couple of the sessions just added to the agenda: | | ALL-ACCESS PASS: Crop Steering Intensive: Latest Cultivation Research on Flushing, Height Control and Photoperiod Strategies for Desired Outcomes and Cost Goals
SPEAKER:
Michael Alden, Graduate Research Assistant, Clemson University |
|
| | Flushing, or applying water and restricting nutrients during the final weeks of flower, is a common practice among cannabis cultivators, but their beliefs in the purpose and benefits of flushing vary and the science on whether flushing affect yields, nutrient levels, and cannabinoid content has been limited. Until now. Clemson University researchers developed experiments to understand the plant’s physiological responses to flushing, and in this session (on Aug. 16), Ph.D. student Michael Alden will present exclusive findings on flushing as well as studies testing other common cannabis cultivation and crop steering practices, including the 12/12 photoperiod schedule in flower and how altering the plant’s shape and controlling height impacts production.

SPEAKER:
Prof. Nirit Bernstein, Environmental Physics and irrigation department, Institute of Soil Water and Environmental Sciences, ARO, Volcani Research Center, Ministry of Agriculture, Israel |
|
| | Cannabis’s medical potential is based on its complex chemical profile, comprising hundreds of secondary metabolites including cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Environmental and cultivation conditions affect plant function and biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites, but little science-based information on plant response to environmental conditions has been available. In this groundbreaking session, Professor Nirit Bernstein will share her recent discoveries concerning the potential of physical and chemical effectors (including mineral nutrition) to regulate plant development and the active secondary metabolites in “drug-type” cannabis. She will also share findings from her lab that characterized effects of plant architecture manipulation (pruning and leaf removal practices), planting density, and light quality on yield quantity and secondary metabolite production in cannabis, among other research findings.
