// Definition
The stress response mechanism where UVB radiation stimulates cannabis plants to produce additional resin and trichomes as a defensive measure, resulting in higher cannabinoid and terpene content.
// From the Episode
GML stated the sun has about 0.2% UVB and 5% UVA. Side-by-side testing showed UVB 'blows away UVA in every way' for resin production. GML developing a UVA/UVB LED supplement to match or exceed solar UV ratios. Tim (SPEAKER_06) discussed how ancillary cannabinoids and secondary metabolites increase under higher UV intensity, describing it as a catalytic energy driving production.
