Plants Under Pressure: How Stress Shapes Secondary Metabolites (w/ Dr. José Leme)

Can stress actually improve flower quality? In this episode, Dr. José Leme joins me to explore how mechanical vibration, super cropping, and controlled water restriction influence plant growth, trichome density, and the production of secondary metabolites like cannabinoids and terpenes. We discuss: 🌊 How moderate drought stress shifts carbon toward secondary metabolites 🌿 Why super cropping & vibration trigger defense pathways and growth responses 🧪 When jasmonates (MeJA) boost trichome density—and when they stunt biomass 🔬 Why bracts (not sugar leaves) are the gold standard for measuring trichomes ⚖️ Practical guardrails for growers: timing, dosage, and cultivar-specific responses 📄 Studies referenced in this episode: Water deficit & secondary metabolism: https://www.mdpi.com/2037-0164/16/3/78 Jasmonates in growth, trichomes, and cannabinoids: https://www.mdpi.com/2037-0164/16/2/68 Metabolic changes under drought: https://www.mdpi.com/2311-7524/11/6/646 Trichome quantification methods: https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/14/14/...
