USU Cannabis Lab Tour with Dr Bruce Bugbee
USU Cannabis Lab Tour with Dr Bruce Bugbee
Dr. Bruce Bugbee gives a tour of the cannabis research he’s conducting at the Crop Physiology Lab at Utah State University (USU). The lab is one of the few in the world to have a cannabis license. The strains being researched are medical hemp with low THC and high CBD. The cultivation methods being developed apply to all types of cannabis. Sorry for the poor camera work in this video. This was a spur of the moment tour and in hindsight I should have used a tripod. The camera was also not set to auto-focus and auto exposure at the beginning…my bad. Hope you enjoy it anyway!
Check out Bruce’s tips for growing great cannabis here:
VIDEO CONTENT
00:37 History of Hemp research at USU.
01:23 Current research is focused on botanical medicines. Medical Hemp allows for the study of botanical medicines.
02:50 A tour of the teaching laboratory.
05:06 Exploring the “hall of fame.” Bruce shows us some of his most recent projects and publications as well as some past graduate student projects and research.
07:03 A tour of the research greenhouses.
10:38 A tour of the growth chamber room where Bruce and his students are currently studying the effects of temperature on cannabis.
15:40 Cannabis is one of the most sensitive plants to light pollution. To study the effects of light pollution, Apogee has developed a special sensor to detect trace amounts of light.

16:59 A tour of the main laboratory where Bruce and his students study light quality.
19:04 “Hall of fame” tour continued. Years and years of student studies are displayed.
22:04 Bruce and his student Paul Kusuma have recently been studying the FAR-PAR Index. Apogee developed a special sensor to detect traditional PAR (400-700 nm) as well as far-red light (700-760 nm) to detect the percent of far-red to better predict stem and leaf expansion.

25:45 Conclusion.
– The lab studies many different things, not just Hemp: agronomic crops, food crops, light quality, etc.
– Graduate students are the lifeblood of the whole operation.

Very inspiring
Holy shit.. so they are really trying to get people to Mars..
Thanks for the video! But, why veg under HPS light and not MH??
I have learned so much. You sir are an inspiration. I could listen to you talk on any subject, all day long. Thank you Doctor.
Thanks
Hemp seeds have a hard shell that isn’t an issue if you eat a few, but en masse it gets to be a bit much.
So one day I put them in a grinder.
Absolutely delicious. Sweet like an ice cream topping, which I’ve used it as.
I really wanna learn about soil
Wonderful tour of your lab. Thanks a lot for that. Made me remember why I spent so much time in academia (bioinformatics).
S2
Very interesting, thank you professor Redeye!
i would love his job .i love it the far par index
Hes the Walter white of weed
a experiment i really want to learn more about it.! The temp swings from night to day. and how much it would change the growth and how it would effect the growth. but i get this is more of a light laboratory
Superb videos!
👍👍😎
Finally I found some real science on cannabis. For the longest time all that we could find was self proclaimed hippie guru pseudo scientists. Thank you professor for these videos.
Finally some straightforward info and knowledge greetings from mexico! New sub!
Dr. Bugbee should introduce a line of his own buds to the bud market. I bet anything he grew would be overwhelming
Cool 😎
How do I get seeds from you for research.
6:20 😂🤣🤣🤣😂💀☠
Thanks for all the info watching all the way from New Zealand
Wow his plants look like shit and I’ve been looking up to this guy
Nice plants! Oh hey I need one of those chambers in my basement, please send pricing and availability and airfare to get you here to get me started, thanks in advance
Without a doubt he’s got the best job in the world..🙏✌🇬🇧💚👊
This is absolutely awesome, I could listen to Dr. Bugbee all day. So much to learn from this man. A true cannabis pioneer of our time.
Any student that has the privilege of being taught by this man is by far one of the luckiest people on this planet. Dr. Bruce, you just seem like the absolute funnest teacher ever.
Getting paid by NASA to do environmental research 😮💨😮💨
No bio dome?
It would be a dream to be in this dudes class.. i would be the first to class and last to stay
Did not your temperature study fail since you opened one door in one of your chambers technically.
Very exciting course no doubt I bet.
Is there a way I can get assistance to take your classes online
I love this guy, everything is just brilliant!
You are a legend
hi MTV my name is Bruce Bugbee and welcome to my crib
If you don’t reference Bruce Bugbee when talkijg about growing cannabis, man don’t rate you 😂
I cannot tell you how much I wish I had watched this prior to planting this year. That said, there is excellent information here that will certainly improve my current crop. I fully expect to make the planting medium you suggest next year. I feel like a kid waiting for next christmas when this one hasn’t even happened! Thank you, Dr. Bugbee, for such solid information! And I freaking LOVE that giant slide rule!
Why do we need these high tech systems for mars? What about earth?!?!?
You should manufacture and sell those grow chambers, they look high quality and people would definitely buy them
i hope camera man was fired after this..
id give anything to do this
much respect doing what you love
Totally Bugbee
is that par meter a university special or can one buy a similar model over the counter . it seems like you have specialy frabricated tools made for your program? in the same way that you guys built the c02 automated dspersment system.
Yay science 🙌
Hey Shawn!
L a’
Dr Bugbee how do female cannabis plants detect the presence of male cannabis plants? Can they even detect them? Thank you for everything you do.
What are they doing with all the buds 🙂
do you need any degrees or classes taken before taking the online course you offer? and also what are the typical results or jobs available after successfully finishing the course.
