Double-Pruning for Consistency: How Two Well-Timed Cuts Boost Yield and Cannabinoid Uniformity

There’s a difference between shaping a plant and shaping a result. In commercial cultivation, pruning involves a bit of chemistry management to achieve your desired ends. The humble act of cutting a plant twice, just a few days apart, can mean the difference between a harvest that passes testing—and one that gets remediated.Let’s talk about double pruning.What is it?Double pruning is exactly what it sounds like: two intentional cuts during early vegetative growth. The first comes about 10–12 days post-transplant, after …

How Light Affects Cannabinoid Production

Light is the primary energy source for plants. Not only is it necessary for photosynthesis, but certain wavelengths impact the accumulation of secondary metabolites, including cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. This blog post unpacks the impact of the light spectrum on cannabis and how different wavelengths influence yield, cannabinoid production and plant morphology. Light spectrum and intensity The light spectrum is determined by wavelengths. For instance, ultraviolet light encompasses a part of the spectrum whose wavelength is 10–400 nanometers (nm). The sun emits light with …
