1. A method of growing cannabis comprising: (3) (2)

applying an activated composition to an untreated cannabis crop, wherein said activated composition comprises an amount of photoacoustic energy deposited therein in a range of 0.05 to 5 milliwatt-minutes per liter; and

wherein, after said application, the treated cannabis crop exhibits an increased yield in a range of 5% to 50% relative to the untreated cannabis crop.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (3) (2)

forming an unactivated composition; and

applying to said unactivated composition a plurality of ultra-rapid impulses of modulated laser light, said ultra-rapid impulses being defined as impulses with molecular traverse rates on the order of 100 nanoseconds to 0.01 femtoseconds.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein said unactivated composition is water. (0)

4. The method of claim 2, wherein said unactivated composition is a dry nutrient mix. (0)

5. The method of claim 2, wherein said unactivated composition is a liquid nutrient solution. (0)

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said treated cannabis crop exhibits an increase in concentration of at least one of cannabinoids, nitrogenous compounds, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, glycoproteins, sugars, hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, fatty acids, esters, lactones, steroids, terpenoids, non-cannabinoid phenols, flavonoids, vitamins, pigments and elements relative to the untreated cannabis crop. (0)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein said treated cannabis crop has an increased Brix degree in a range of 5% to 75% relative to the untreated cannabis crop. (0)

8. A method of growing cannabis comprising: (3) (2)

wherein, after said application, at least one of a plurality of cannabinoids constituents of said treated cannabis crop has an increased amount in a range of greater than 5% relative to the untreated cannabis crop.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: (3) (2)

forming an unactivated composition; and

10. The method of claim 9, wherein said unactivated composition is water. (0)

11. The method of claim 9, wherein said unactivated composition is a dry nutrient mix. (0)

12. The method of claim 9, wherein said unactivated composition is a liquid nutrient solution. (0)

13. The method of claim 8, wherein said plurality of cannabinoids constituents comprise at least one of cannabigerolic acid, cannabigerol, cannabichromene, cannabidiolic acid, cannabidiol, and cannabinol. (0)

14. The method of claim 8, wherein said treated cannabis crop has an increased Brix degree in a range of greater than 5% relative to the untreated cannabis crop. (0)

15. A method of growing cannabis comprising: (2) (2)

wherein, after said application, at least one of a plurality of terpene constituents of said treated cannabis crop is increased by an amount in a range of greater than 5% relative to the untreated cannabis crop.

16. The method of claim 15, further comprising: (3) (2)

forming an unactivated composition; and

17. The method of claim 16, wherein said unactivated composition is water. (0)

18. The method of claim 16, wherein said unactivated composition is a dry nutrient mix. (0)

19. The method of claim 16, wherein said unactivated composition is a liquid nutrient solution. (0)

20. The method of claim 15, wherein said plurality of terpene constituents comprise at least one of alpha-pinene, myrcene, carene, beta-pinene, limonene, alpha-humulene, linalool, terpinolene, bisabolol, caryophyllene, and humulene. (0)
