“Influence of Aeroponic System on Growth and Yield Parameters of V-1 Mulberry”
G. A. Nishchitha, et al. 2023. International Journal of Environment and Climate Change 13(5): 290-300. EXCERPT: “It can be inferred that the aeroponic system enhance the rates of plants growth by promoting the root aeration because the root system is totally suspended in the air, giving the plant stem and roots system access to 100%… Read more

“Yield, Characterization, and Possible Exploitation of Cannabis Sativa L. Roots Grown under Aeroponics Cultivation”
Fabbio Ferrini, et al. 2021. Molecules 26(16): 4889. ABSTRACT: “Cannabis sativa L. has been used for a long time to obtain food, fiber, and as a medicinal and psychoactive plant. Today, the nutraceutical potential of C. sativa is being increasingly reappraised; however, C. sativa roots remain poorly studied, despite citations in the scientific literature. In this direction, we identified and quantified… Read more

Grow Cannabis With Healthy Roots – Oxygen can be a limiting factor in the root zone by Ed Rosenthal
“Cannabis plants are dependent on their environment for materials and energy. These key inputs, known as the limiting factors, drive photosynthesis and therefore plant growth. As outlined in the Marijuana Grower’s Handbook, the limiting factors are light, carbon dioxide, nutrients, water, and temperature. Through my work to update the book, which is now the Cannabis… Read more
