What happens when you stress plants on purpose?

In this video, we break down university research from Dr. Jose Leme’s lab on plant stress, trichomes, water deficit, and biostimulants.

Topics covered:

* Stress signals vs real stress

* Trichome d... more

Most facilities make the same hiring mistake: choosing a head cultivator based on plant knowledge instead of leadership ability.

In modern controlled environments, success depends less on hands-on growing and more on managing systems, people, and pe... more

Light interruption is one of the most overlooked risks in indoor facilities—and it often shows up after a build is “complete.”

In this breakdown, Egan O’Keefe (Co-Founder of Front Row Ag, VP of Cultivation at Story of Maryland) explains:

* Why com... more

In this video, we break down the VPD ranges we use from veg through late flower, why plant posture is one of the most underrated metrics in the room, and the exact reason your humidity spikes every time your CO2 runs out.

What's covered:

* VPD tar... more

Purple expression is one of the most misunderstood traits in cultivation.

In this conversation, we break down why plants turn purple, when it’s genetically driven, and what actually happens when growers try to force purple expression through environ... more

High-performing commercial cultivation teams don’t improvise the day.

They start with a master production calendar, translate it into a short list of priority tasks, and use structured morning and end-of-day meetings to keep labor aligned and preven... more

Most growers treat this crop as biologically unique. That assumption breaks more things than it fixes.

In this conversation, John Sokolik explains how well-studied crops like hops, tomatoes, hackberry, and lima beans reveal practical lessons about ... more

Every time a plant is touched, there’s risk—and cost.

In this conversation, we break down why plant “touchpoints” matter more than most facilities realize. From disease pressure to labor efficiency, excessive handling quietly inflates costs and intr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SIU Researcher Dr. Jose Leme on Trichomes, Water Stress, and Biostimulants in Cultivation
Q: How does sampling method affect cannabinoid analysis in relation to trichome counting?
If sampling focuses on different plant parts (e.g., top vs. bottom of the main cola) or uses different trichome-free regions, the cannabinoid profile can vary significantly, so comparisons must control for tissue type and sampling location to avoid misinterpretation.
SIU Researcher Dr. Jose Leme on Trichomes, Water Stress, and Biostimulants in Cultivation
Q: What explains the lack of a direct correlation between increased trichome density and cannabinoid concentration?
Even with higher trichome density, the amount of cannabinoids can remain unchanged because each trichome head contains varying cannabinoid concentrations, and sampling location, head size, and total mass influence the analysis. External factors and cultivar-specific responses also play a role, making a simple density-to-cannabinoid link unreliable.
