项目摘要

The history of marijuana in both medical and recreational applications is long and varied. Although both large and small-scale production facilities are fully operational and many more are in the planning and construction phases, there remains significant gaps in the scientific knowledge of horticultural management of the plethora of cultivars in areas such as optimal environment control, lighting, irrigation and nutrition management, and the effect that these variables have on the content and consistency of various compounds (THC, CBD, terpenes) relevant to the medicinal properties of the plant. Our relationship has recently trained three graduate students (Jonathan Stemeroff (MSc), who successfully defended his thesis related to irrigation management of cannabis (November 20th, 2018), along with Deron Caplan (PhD), 'Propagation and root zone management for controlled environment cannabis production' (August 30th, 2018) and David Hawley (PhD) 'The influence of spectral quality of light on plant secondary metabolism and photosynthetic acclimation to light quality' (September 10th, 2018). The proposed project herein will significantly enhance an established research program between the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility (CESRF) at the University of Guelph (UoG) and VIVO Cannabis Ltd. (formerly ABcann Medicinals). The unique state-of-the-art infrastructure at the CESRF has been exploited in a variety of national and international research initiatives in space science and terrestrial food production technology, and most recently has populated a purpose-built research laboratory (56m2) at our industry partners cannabis production facility (Napanee, ON) with five of its state-of-the-art precision controlled BlueBox whole plant photosynthesis plant growth chambers (Stasiak et al, 2016). The overall objective of the proposed project is to assess various physiological responses of cannabis to light quality and intensity throughout the different growth stages in order to understand and improve plant growth, consistency and economic productivity.

大麻在医疗和娱乐应用中的历史悠久而多样。尽管大型和小规模的生产设施都完全运营，并且在规划和建设阶段中都有更多的运营，但是在诸如最佳环境控制，灌溉，灌溉等领域，在园艺管理的科学知识中仍然存在很大的差距。和营养管理，以及这些变量对与植物药用特性相关的各种化合物（THC，CBD，萜）的含量和一致性的影响。我们的关系最近培训了三名研究生（Jonathan Stemeroff（MSC），他成功地捍卫了与大麻灌溉管理有关的论文（2018年11月20日），以及Deron Caplan（PhD）（PHD），“传播和根区管理”，用于受控环境大麻生产”（2018年8月30日）和戴维·霍利（Phd）（博士学位）“光谱质量对植物次要代谢和光合作用适应光质量的影响”（2018年9月10日）。圭尔夫大学（UOG）和Vivo Cannabis Ltd.的受控环境系统研究机构（CESRF）（以前是Abcann Medicinals）的研究计划。在我们的行业合作伙伴大麻生产设施（Napanee，On）的国家和国际研究计划中，最近在我们的行业合作伙伴大麻生产设施（Napanee，On）填充了专门建造的研究实验室（56M2） - 精确控制的蓝盒全植物光合作用植物生长室（Stasiak等，2016）。拟议项目的总体目标是评估大麻对各个不同生长阶段的光质量和强度的各种生理反应，以了解和提高植物的生长，一致性和经济生产力。
