Optimized lighting to increase THC yield and phytochemical uniformity in Cannabis sativa

Cannabinoid uniformity is paramount to cannabis product quality and marketability. The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate two overhead lighting strategies to maximize yield and THC content in cannabis plants. The experiment will be replicated three times. This study will benefit the partner organization by determining which lighting strategy is superior for increasing THC content in cannabis biomass in their production facility.
