Unlocking Quality: Horticultural Strategies to Enhance Cannabinoid and Terpene Profiles in Cannabis

In the rapidly advancing field of cannabis cultivation, product quality remains the defining benchmark of success. Yet, the question persists: what truly constitutes “quality,” and how can it be effectively optimized through horticultural practice?

The book "Controlled Environment Cannabis Horticulture: Methods and Strategies to improve the Quality of Medicinal Cannabis" provides an in-depth examination of the physiological, biochemical, and environmental factors that shape the chemical and sensory quality of Cannabis sativa. It integrates current knowledge on cannabinoid and terpene biosynthesis with insights into nutrient management, environmental conditions, elicitor application, and other cultivation practices that influence secondary metabolism in Cannabis. Including a discussion on volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and the (un)importance of terpenes for aroma, the book further explores the evolving understanding of the compounds that define the characteristic scent and consumer perception of cannabis.
