This is a great article, and even though Dr. Smart really buys into his last name, his work is great.
I just wanted to add to what they published. This is good support for pest control of cannabinoids but diseases are also something cannabinoids can impact. High CBG only strains have low tolerance for many infections based off of research and field trials I have been a part of. In a randomized complete block trial every CBG dominant plant succumbed to some type of disease. Mostly powdery mildew but we had issues with a lot of septoria and white mold as well. Really underscores the importance of understanding your environment and choosing genetics appropriate not just for climate but disease and pest tolerance as well.
