50–85% Lower Pesticide Residues. 85% Less Mold. No Antifungal Compounds.

A controlled greenhouse study evaluated a sulfated mineral balanced water preparation — derived from the same Themarox ionic mineral technology as Primora Bio — across five distinct plant outcomes: pesticide residue burden, cannabinoid (THC) content, terpene production and diversity, mold susceptibility, and heavy metal levels. Three conditions were compared: untreated control plants, plants watered with the preparation, and plants grown in soil pre-treated before planting.

The most critical finding was not the yield metric, it was what happened to the pesticide residues. Plants treated with the ionic mineral preparation showed a marked reduction in detectable levels of Myclobutanil (Eagle 20), a systemic fungicide widely used in cannabis cultivation and one of the most scrutinized compounds in state testing regimes. Both treatment groups showed greater reduction than the control, with the effect strongest in soil-pretreated plants.

The mechanism proposed in the study is that ionic mineral water improves cellular integrity and enhances the plant's own metabolic processing of chemical contaminants — reducing both uptake and retention of pesticide molecules at the cellular level. This is consistent with the broader mechanism of geodynamic water: when mineral transport and cellular hydration are optimized, the plant's detoxification pathways become more efficient.

Secondary metabolite production told a parallel story. THC content increased by up to 50% in soil-pretreated plants, with no significant increase in the watering-only group, confirming that root-zone mineralization is the primary driver. Terpene production showed an even stronger response: total terpene content increased 50–75%, and three to four entirely new terpene species were detected in treated plants that were absent from controls. New terpene species appearing in treated plants is a marker of improved secondary metabolic biosynthesis, a sign that the plant's biochemical machinery is operating at higher capacity.

The pattern of effects — pesticide reduction, cannabinoid increase, new terpene species, mold resistance — all align along a single physiological axis: upstream metabolic optimization rather than conventional nutrient supplementation.

Mold susceptibility results were observational but striking. Approximately 66% of control plants developed mold infection during the trial period, compared with approximately 10% of treated plants. A relative reduction of roughly 85%. This is not a pesticide effect; the preparation contains no antifungal compounds. The reduction is attributed to improved plant surface microenvironment and enhanced immune-like physiological responses driven by optimized mineral and water dynamics.
