A gardener or farmer will tell you plants have a season with a few exceptions. Most plants, like cannabis, need the right climate to grow in if they’re doing so outside. That’s where indoor cultivation can help. Here are reasons why indoor cannabis cultivation, such as Mountain Annie’s Cannabis in-house strains, is a good thing.
Control
There’s nothing like being able to have control over your crop. After all, even the best farmers may have a season in which their crops are frozen over or spoiled due to changes in weather patterns. However, when you have indoor cannabis cultivation, you have control over humidity, temperature, and control of nutrients used. You can control the optimal conditions to grow the best plant. When you have high-quality buds, you’ll have a customer who will return for more and provide good word of mouth.
Pests
The downside to growing beautiful and healthy crops is you may attract hungry pests. Pests can bring diseases and eat your crops before you or other people can take advantage of them. When you keep your plants indoors, they’re less susceptible to infestation unless you don’t have your greenhouse insulated. When your crops aren’t eaten up by plants, you’re less likely to suffer revenue loss. Unfortunately, many farmers have lost an entire year’s worth of crops due to infestations of insects like locusts and certain beetles.
Bringing your plants indoors don’t remove all the threats of pests, and introduces other threats, like mildew. Just because it was grown indoors doesn’t make it better cannabis. If anything, that just means that whoever grew it better have known what they were doing.
Theft Protection
When growing a cash crop of any kind, you have a plant that many people want to get their hands on, but that effect is even stronger with marijuana. Therefore, it may not be the best idea to grow your cannabis in an open area that just anyone can access. Plus, you may want to practice discretion with neighbors and HOAs, as some people may still be judgmental about this particular crop. Avoid unwanted attention or people trying to get a free stash by keeping your cultivation indoors. Plus, if you live in an area where the legality of marijuana plants is still up in the air, privacy is paramount. If Johnny Law can smell the weed, or keeps getting reports from neighbors, then you’re going to be up a creek.
Consistency
If you want to maintain a thriving business, you need to ensure you always have a quality crop to offer. To do so, your crops must be consistent in quality. Having the adequate control that an indoor environment provides means you’ll have healthier plants with larger yields. Having predictable crop growth can help with production and promotion. Feel safe that you can deliver sales on time, even on items you are still growing.
As you can see, you don’t need to grow your cannabis crops outside. There are several reasons why indoor cultivation is the best option for serious growers who want to avoid mishaps like theft, poor consistency, poor quality, and pest infestations. Learning about indoor cultivation can help your marijuana or CBD business grow this year.
