Cover Story: Cannabis has gained interest due to its medically important secondary metabolites: cannabinoids and terpenes. Three morphologically different cannabis strains were grown under three different light spectra. Flowers were harvested at three flower positions. Light spectra significantly influenced CBDA and terpene concentrations. The accumulation of secondary metabolites was influenced by flower position, varied between strains, and indicated an interaction between morphology and light spectra. Each strain was characterized by a specific terpene profile, while our PCA revealed that individual terpenes were correlated irrespective of strain. Our results indicate that, besides strain selection, light spectra and flower position influence the medicinal potency. View this paper
