Hemp or Cannabis has long been grown outdoors, in greenhouses, or in open fields. This age-old cultivation method was highly developed before the prohibition of cannabis arrived roughly a century ago. Indoor cannabis cultivation long allowed growing away from the watchful eyes of authorities. Indoor cultivation does not allow for the same yields as outdoor, but it does produce better quality. Indeed, the essential elements for the plant are more easily controllable, such as temperature, CO2, humidity, light supply, and pests, making it possible to create the ideal environment.
Indoor growing also enabled breeding (crossbreeding) much faster, and thus developed varieties with more flavor and faster production cycles. Crossbreeding also enabled the creation of varieties CBD almost completely devoid of THC avec moins de 1% pour la Suisse, mois de 0,6 % pour l’Italie et moins de 0,2 % pour le reste de l’Europe.
Outdoor hemp cultivation
Advantages:
Low production cost (light, water, minerals — free)
high plant yield (between 500 grams and 1 kilo per flower plant)
C’est idéal pour la production de chanvre industriel (pour une utilisation de la fibre que contiennent les tiges)
Disadvantages:
A very long production cycle (between 5 and 8 months depending on the variety)
Lower flower quality.
Des risques d’intempéries ou de manque d’eau.
GREENHOUSE CULTIVATION
Advantages:
Cannabis loves warmth
Microclimate control, with the possibility of intervening in the cannabis life cycle, for example to extend the vegetative phase.
Contrôle de la lumière lorsqu’il fait nuit
protection from climate risks thanks to the greenhouse
relatively eco-friendly
Plusieurs récoltes dans l’année sont envisageables
The disadvantages :
Average yield
Average quality
Undesirable odors can also be an issue
The space and a location to set it up. Ideally, the greenhouse should face south or west.
Indoor hemp cultivation
Advantages:
Production quality (higher CBD level) Flowers are larger with more flavor.
Possibility of 100% organic cultivation.
The disadvantages :
A heavy investment in production equipment.
Higher production costs (water, electricity, fertilizers).
Lower yield than in outdoor production.
The future lies in greenhouse cannabis cultivation! It is the only method that makes it possible to combine the advantages of indoor and outdoor cultivation. Greenhouse cultivation is safer, more reliable, and simpler than outdoor cultivation. Furthermore, it is less energy-intensive, which is good for both your wallet and the environment.
