(Masterclass Session) There is a fine line between too much and not enough stress…but what is that line? Our expert panel delves into the strategic use of stress in cannabis cultivation to optimize plant growth, yield, and quality. Expert growers will discuss controlled stress techniques, including crop steering, light manipulation, training and trellising, drought management, and other environmental adjustments. Panelists will explore how these stressors influence plant physiology, cannabinoid and terpene production, and overall crop performance. Through case studies and practical examples, attendees will learn how to apply stress deliberately and safely, balancing risk and reward. This session offers a deep dive into the science and art of stress-based cultivation, empowering growers to push their crops to their full potential.
