Limonene
Aroma: citrus
Also found in: the rinds of all citrus fruits
Medicinal properties: anxiolytic, antidepressant, antibiotic, chemotherapeutic, anti inflammatory, analgesic and immune stimulant
As suggested by the name, limonene (aka D-limonene) has a citrus aroma and can be found in high concentrations in the rinds of citrus fruits. This terpene is believed to be responsible for the“cerebral and euphoric” experience, commonly attributed to some cannabis chemovars. It is also believed to be a permeation enhancer for oral and topical products that are produced with nano-emulsion technology. 7 8 9
Limonene has been suggested as a potential treatment for a myriad of conditions and symptoms, such as:
multiple sclerosis
IBD (crohn’s/ulcerative colitis)
GERD
anxiety
depression
inflammation
pain
asthma
obesity
arthritis
cancer (particularly skin, breast, prostate and glioblastoma)
It may also be helpful for Parkinson’s disease due to its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, but this is yet to be researched
Limonene is employed in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, food and beverage flavoring, and even household cleaners. Limonene-rich strains include Berry White, Durban Poison, Jack Herer, Jack the Ripper, Lemon Diesel, OG Kush (as well as other OG cultivars), Sour Diesel, and Super Lemon Haze.
@Ultraviolet, it looked a bit pink-ish to me. Some photographers use wavelengths during the shot that bring out certain features. The composite photos made out of different wavelengths are quite pretty.
@NegotiatedBubble, Urm I harvested the main flowers and left a few popcorn nugs at the bottom of the plant then put it back to veg, the bottom pictures are taken under a full spectrum lighting 400-700nm, heavily damaged from UV exposure PH tomfoolery.
An excellent article on Blue.
Many Thanks. Since I started playing with the other colours its nice to see the info getting out there. I'm completely convinced with adding more of the spectrum.
I would love to see a well controlled comparative grow between with and without adding the blue or extra colours using a typical grow light like from Spider Farm or similar as a base.
And thanks for all the links to those papers.
@TheFattyMcCoy, These are some clones from a previous grow, was meant to be a comparison between monster-cropped clones at varying stages of flower but they at this stage are growing equally well I can't tell the difference tbh.
