• Elevated UV photon fluxes minimally affected cannabinoid concentration in a high-CBD cultivar
• Sustainable Cannabis Nutrition: Elevated root-zone phosphorus significantly increases leachate P and does not improve yield or quality
• Cannabis lighting: Decreasing blue photon fraction increases yield but efficacy is more important for cost effective production of cannabinoids
• Photons from NIR LEDs can delay flowering in short-day sybean and Cannabis: Implications for phytochrome activity
