A method to grow cannabis is described, wherein the method includes providing and treating a source of water, mixing the water with an additive to form a liquid mixture, transferring the liquid mixture to a plurality of cannabis plants grown in a growing medium including a mycorrhiza fungus, and growing the cannabis using a humidity control method, then harvesting the cannabis plants. Trimming and grinding the cannabis along with use of environmental control methods including temperature, humidity, lighting schedules, and carbon dioxide concentrations are also described.

Methods for promoting plant growth based on novel photosafening treatment regimes with glycopyranosides including glycopyranosylglycopyranosides, and aryl--D-glycopyranosides, and more specifically, with one or more compounds comprising terminal mannosyl-triose, optionally in the presence of light enhanced by one or more light reflecting and/or refracting members such as silicon-based substrates. Furthermore, chemical synthesis processes for the above compounds are disclosed for general application to plants. Silicate microbeads of the like are distributed over the ground or substrate in which roots of a plant are supported and planted, beneath and around a plant in a manner that light is refracted or reflected toward the phylloplane.

A plant propagation apparatus and associated methods are disclosed for automating and optimizing the process of cutting, scraping and applying rooting hormone to plant stems. In at least one embodiment, a housing provides an at least one substantially tubular-shaped receiver sized and configured for removably receiving a plant stem therewithin. An at least one blade is positioned within the housing and configured for cutting the plant stem at a desired angle. An at least one pump outlet is positioned within the at least one receiver and configured for selectively administering a volume of rooting hormone to the plant stem. An at least one abrasive surface is positioned within the at least one receiver and configured for scraping an outer surface of the plant stem, as the plant stem is removed from the receiver.
