    Optimize Your Potency and Yield: Tips and Tricks from the latest publications

    In this episode, we delve into cutting-edge research shaping the future of commercial cannabis cultivation and processing. Learn how subtle changes in light cycles, environmental conditions, and cultivation practices can dramatically enhance yield, cannabinoid profiles, and overall product quality. We’ll discuss recent advancements in lighting regimes that push beyond the traditional 12-hour photoperiod, explore how increasing light intensity impacts both biomass and terpene potency, and examine the evolving potency trends across the U.S. cannabis market. We also spotlight a groundbreaking, publicly accessible Cannabis Compound Database that provides in-depth, data-driven insights into the chemical complexity of today’s commercial cannabis strains—offering a valuable resource to guide decision-making in everything from nutrient management to extraction protocols. Whether you’re a seasoned cultivator looking to optimize your indoor environment, a processor aiming to refine your extraction technique, or a patient grower interested in staying ahead of potency trends, this episode provides actionable intelligence backed by peer-reviewed science. By integrating these research findings into your cultivation strategy, you can position your product for greater efficiency, superior quality, and a more informed approach to the rapidly evolving cannabis market.

    Post-Harvest Practices: Minimizing TYM Risks in Your Drying and Curing Process

    This episode explores how different factors, from the cannabis strain you choose to your drying methods, can significantly impact the levels of total yeast and mold (TYM) in your final product. To help commercial growers produce high-quality cannabis that meets regulatory standards, this episode will: Examine the surprising link between cannabis genotype and TYM levels, emphasizing how strain selection can be a powerful tool for microbial management. Go beyond basic TYM counts to explore the specific fungal and yeast species found in cannabis crops. Discover which ones pose real risks to consumers and which ones might be beneficial for plant health. Provide practical strategies for minimizing TYM contamination throughout the cultivation process. Learn how environmental controls, like air circulation, and post-harvest techniques, like hang drying, can dramatically reduce microbial growth. Challenge the industry's current approach to TYM testing, calling for more nuanced methods that differentiate between beneficial and harmful microorganisms. Tune in to gain valuable insights into: Optimizing your cultivation practices for lower TYM counts Meeting regulatory requirements with confidence Producing a safe and high-quality product that consumers can trust.
