Lockbox Seeds research bibliography

This bibliography consolidates every published source referenced across Lockbox Seeds editorial articles into a single page, grouped by subject area and listed in a standard reference format. The list covers peer-reviewed cannabis research, the foundational horticulture literature, and the breeder-authored scholarship that anchors our writing on terpene chemistry, genetics, light science, nutrition, harvest timing, and the post-harvest cure. References are presented as plain text in line with site editorial policy — no live URLs, no affiliate links, and no outbound clicks — so readers can copy an author, year, and title directly into the academic database or library catalogue of their choice. Each entry notes which Lockbox articles cite it, with a short internal link back to the article where the reference is in context. The bibliography is updated as new editorial work is published or as existing articles are re-reviewed.
