What is indoor cultivation?

Indoor cultivation is a method used to produce cannabis and CBD flowers. With this cultivation method, CBD and cannabis flowers grow in a totally controlled environment. They benefit from :

• Artificial lighting: the lighting adapts perfectly to the growth rate of the plants, depending on their variety and light requirements, both in terms of duration and intensity.
• A ventilation system: controlling the air inside the growth chamber is essential. In this way, the plants benefit from renewed air, ideal temperature and hygrometry to grow without the risk of mold.
• Protection from the vagaries of weather and climate: in addition to controlling parameters, indoor cultivation allows growth sheltered from external conditions that could hinder development and harm flower quality.

Growing CBD indoors: the advantages

Growing plants indoors is used to produce high-end, premium-quality CBD flowers. Even more so when plants are grown directly in water using hydroponics. In this way, CBD or cannabis plants are fed without having to exert the slightest effort. All their energy is concentrated on growing flowers.

CBD produced indoors is :

• Absolutely remarkable quality: The flowers are very dense, with a high concentration of terpenes and trichomes, giving them powerful effects and perfect aromas. What's more, CBD flowers are aesthetically perfect, with no blemishes or damaged parts.
• Extremely high potency: Absolute control of growth factors produces the highest levels of CBD naturally possible (up to 20%), as well as a high concentration of secondary cannabinoids (CBG, CBC, CBN...). These, combined with the high concentration of terpenes and trichomes, ensure a strong entourage effect and optimal potential.
• Of great purity: Grown in a perfectly controlled environment, indoor CBD requires no pesticides, fungicides or chemical treatments, which could deteriorate the taste of the flowers and pose a risk to the consumer.

 

 

In short, flowers produced indoors are the healthiest, naturally potent and aromatic.

The disadvantages of indoor flowers

As you'd expect, there are many advantages to this method of cultivation, otherwise it's all we'd be producing.
Among the disadvantages is the price of the flowers: total control of the growing environment requires constant monitoring and expensive equipment, which consumes a lot of electricity. And, as you know, electricity isn't cheap these days.

Fun fact: it is technically possible to grow cannabis or CBD at home indoors, but it's illegal. Many of these illegal growers are caught because of their abnormally high electricity consumption.

 

 

Indoor cultivation versus other types of cultivation

As we've said, indoor cultivation isn't the only one. There are two other main types of cultivation: greenhouse cultivation and outdoor cultivation.

Indoor vs. outdoor culture

Outdoor cultivation is the most widespread: it's growing in the field, as with wheat, corn, soybeans and all other crops. Its main advantage is that it produces high yields at low cost and with little effort.

Unlike indoor cultivation, where the larger the cultivation site, the more expensive it will be, with outdoor cultivation you can grow gigantic fields with relatively little effort compared to a small surface area.

In fact, outdoor CBD flowers are much cheaper than indoor ones. On average, the price is divided by four. Nevertheless, the plants are less beautiful, less compact, less aromatic and less potent. They are therefore generally preferred by consumers who value quantity over quality.

Indoor vs. greenhouse

Greenhouse cultivation is the most popular. Plants are grown outdoors, but under glass. This technique is more suited to the growth of more fragile plants, such as melons or aromatic herbs.

It represents a happy medium between outdoor and indoor cultivation. Plants grow in the ground, protected from the elements, and their environment is partially controlled by the greenhouse.

CBD flowers produced in this way are offered at an affordable price for a very respectable quality. Some occasional or novice consumers may not notice the difference between an indoor flower and a good greenhouse. But where you really notice the difference is in the price: greenhouse flowers are generally half the price of indoor flowers.

In short: indoors, in greenhouses or outdoors, what type of cultivation should you choose?

• Outdoor : perfect for small budgets or regular consumers looking for good value for money.
• Greenhouse: the right compromise for those who want quality without breaking the bank.
• Indoor: for demanding connoisseurs in search of powerful aromas, perfect flowers and strong effects.
