Together, Fluence and Compassionate Cultivation will produce and publish several peer-reviewed, randomized complete block studies over a 12-month period that will explore light intensity, spectra, distribution and scheduling throughout the cannabis crop cycle.
“New research that sheds light on operational best practices, recommended cultivation techniques, breeding and light recipes is the most critical factor in maximizing cannabis’s potential,” said Dave Hawley, Ph.D., Fluence’s senior scientist. The two companies addressed the medicinal effects of cannabis and the potential to positively impact consumers.
