Enzymes: Lipase In Cannabis Growing

Lipase is an enzyme that plays an important role in the metabolism of lipids or fats in cannabis plants. In cannabis growing, lipase can help to improve nutrient uptake, reduce plant stress, and enhance plant growth and quality.

Here are some of the functions, benefits, and how lipase works in cannabis growing:

Breaking down lipids:

Lipase breaks down lipids or fats into simpler forms, such as fatty acids and glycerol, which can be more easily absorbed by cannabis plants. This can improve nutrient availability and uptake, leading to healthier, more robust plants with increased yields.

Improving nutrient uptake:

By breaking down lipids, lipase can improve the availability and uptake of other nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus. This can enhance plant growth and quality, leading to increased yields and higher quality products.

Reducing plant stress:

Lipase can help to reduce plant stress by improving nutrient availability, enhancing soil structure, and promoting healthy root growth. This can help to prevent plant diseases and improve overall plant health and resilience.

Enhancing plant growth and quality:

By improving nutrient uptake and reducing plant stress, lipase can enhance plant growth and quality, leading to increased yields and higher quality products.

How lipase works:

Lipase works by breaking down the chemical bonds that hold lipids or fats together, breaking them down into simpler forms that can be absorbed by cannabis plants. Lipase is produced by bacteria and fungi that colonise the soil, and it is also available as a commercial product that can be added to soil as a powder or liquid.

Overall, lipase is a valuable soil amendment in cannabis growing. Its ability to break down lipids, improve nutrient uptake, reduce plant stress, and enhance plant growth and quality can lead to healthier, more robust cannabis plants with increased yields and higher-quality products. Lipase can be used in both organic and hydroponic cannabis growing systems.
