When we talk about Cannabis cultivation, we must distinguish between the 4 types of crops that exist. Depending on the type of crop, the product will be of a different quality and price.
Indoor: Refers to crops grown indoors. It comes from the English word “indoor” which means interior. In this type of cultivation, all the environmental conditions that favor the growth of the cannabis plant and flower are recreated indoors, such as artificial light. This allows production even in winter, since the optimal conditions for cultivation are artificially recreated.
That is why indoor-grown cannabis flowers are of a higher quality and therefore higher in price, due to the amount of energy and resources that this method of cultivation requires.
Outdoor: Term corresponding to crops grown outside, in the open air. It is a method highly appreciated by CBD cannabis growers, as it provides numerous benefits. However, it is clear that there are some difficulties, especially when climatic factors are considered. This method reduces the production cycle to a specific stage in the year.
Greenhouse: This type of crop corresponds to plants grown in greenhouses with natural light, it refers to crops that do not use any type of artificial light for any reason during their production. This method manages to provide 2 or 3 production cycles per year, but supposes the impossibility of cultivating in the winter months due to climatic factors.
Glasshouse: This type of production combines characteristics of indoor cultivation and GreenHouse cultivation. The plants grown in Glasshouse are produced in state-of-the-art greenhouses, made of glass. That is where its name “glass” resides, which means “glass”. This type of cultivation uses a combination of artificial light and natural light that allows them to have production throughout the year.
