This invention is directed to a method of growing a plant from the Cannabaceae family, the cultivar or composition produced therefrom, wherein the plant is exposed to artificial lighting of different intensities based on spacing, growth phase, and flowering yield. Cannabis and products/preparations thereof can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions in patients. However, the effectiveness of a given cannabis strain or cultivar in the treatment of a certain medical condition or symptom is dependent on the type(s) of cannabinoids and other products (e.g., terpenes) present in the cultivar, strain, or preparation, both with respect to the amount of a given cannabinoid (or terpene) and the ratios thereof. Cannabinoid compound yield and concentrations are dependent on a number of factors, including cultivar or strain type (e.g., genetic background), nutrients given, exposure to light, growth environment, harvest conditions, and methods of preparation. |
