      Ethylene is a plant hormone that causes hemp plants to grow and flower more quickly.

        So, essentially, it’s like giving steroids or growth hormones to plants.
        It accelerates the flowering and growing process overall.

      Ethylene gas can have positive effects on hemp plants in controlled amounts. The gas can triple seed growth, reduct aging of the stalk and leaves, and increase water absorption. But with the benefits come adverse outcomes if not appropriately controlled. Inhibited stem growth and excess water retention. Just make sure you are managing all of your nutrient and gas levels while growing. Even with hemp being a very resilient plant, it can still be harmed by to much.

      Ethylene is used to regulate flower and plant growth. Ethylene aids hemp in its production and improves hemp response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Root initiation is stimulated by ethylene, promoting a healthier, more productive plant.

      Ethylene is a small hydrocarbon and is a natural plant hormone used for the ripening of fruits. It is colorless, flammable gas with a sweet and musky odor. There are a lot of responses plants can have due to ethylene, such as stimulating leaf and flower senescence, stimulating seedling triple response, inducing seed germination, stimulating fruit ripening, and many more. The application of ethylene to Cannabis sativa plants will increase its female flower size, flower number, and levels of cannabidiol. Thus, it increases the commercial value of Cannabis grown in CBD production.

      I don’t think it a good thing for plants. When exposed to ethylene, the plant will grow faster, and roots grow faster, seedling appears,s and flower ripen. But on the flip side, plants can go the negative way and drop leaves and stunt growth. You need to be careful when this is added, as it can really mess up a plant.

      Ethylene is a natural hormone plant when they are stressed or injured. Think of it as adrenalin. It shifts the blood from all around your body to your brain and heart make you think better, runs faster, and your heart to beat more quickly, but your face gets pale. The same happens to the plants; excess branches and leaves tend to fall, stems get shortened, but meantime root growth and flower ripening and seedlings occur. So keep in mind to keep the pros and cons in balance. It is good to keep the plants excited, but don’t get them too stressed.

      It depends on when you add the additional ethylene. As stated above, the plants can produce more ethylene when over-watered. The area of growth depends on when you add the ethylene, to determine the growth you are interested in, research into when you should add additional ethylene to produce that result.

      It’s a naturally-occurring hormone. It can be caused by stress, wounding, or other environmental factors, and it can even be introduced to encourage fruit ripening. It’s tricky, though, as it can be a benefit or a detriment, all depending on what you want it to do, and when you encourage buildup or apply it… It can actually cause plants to drop leaves… during growth, this would be awful, but immediately prior to harvest, this can make things so much easier.

      It’s usually not a good thing for your hemp plants.
      It is a natural plant hormone that is used in agriculture to encourage the ripening of plants.

      Ethylene production can be induced by the plant itself do to external factors like injury or when certain chemicals are introduced.

      Over-watering can encourage your plant to produce ethylene.

      Though, if you’re harvesting for seeds, utilizing ethylene at the right time can triple your seed count.

      Ethylene can be a good or bad addition to your grow op. You have to know when and why.

      Hemp plants, just like other plants, respond to ethylene by growing faster in some very specific ways. Technically, it stimulates the seedling triple response, it thickens and shortens hypocotyl with a pronounced apical hook. Plus, it stimulates Arabidopsis hypocotyl elongation. And ultimately, it stimulates leaf & flower senescence. The bottom line, ethylene makes hemp grow.
