In industrial hemp, three terms indicate different the types of hemp flower cultures, that differ one from the other mainly for the source of light and the amount of space for the crop. There also is one last method to add that is actually the eldest one: the outdoor culture. JustBob decided not to buy CBD buds / CBD hemp flowers coming from these kind of crops because an outdoor cultivated plant can only have one blooming cycle during its short life. Also the exposition to any sort of external agent can cause the making of molds and fungus, besides growing a charmless hemp flower.
Indoor
As the name suggests, these plants are cultivated indoor, in a space specially dedicated to it. The main advantage of this method is that it is possible to control and regulate the environment, as to create the ideal habitat for the plant to grow. As a matter of fact, light, humidity and temperature are artificially adjusted. The CBD flowers growing in these conditions are the most beautiful, but to a high cost: the energy required for an indoor production is consistent and not everybody can afford the expenses. Growers also have to make sure that the plant can fit in the space available. As a matter of fact, usually there’s not enough room for certain strain to be cultivated indoor, since some species can reach considerlable height and wideness.
Greenhouse
Greenhouse culture uses natural light to grow cannabis crops, while temperature and humidity are controlled artificially. Depending in part on the presence of sun, with this culture it is possible to exploit the plant for 2-3 cycles of blooming, but generally not more than that.
Glasshouse
In a glasshouse culture, the crop is contained in a greenhouse made of glass. It differs from the latter because the glasshouse method uses both natural and artificial light, so it’s the perfect setting to produce CBD flowers throughout the year. It is possible to say that this method is halfway between the indoor and the greenhouse cultures. It has more space than the indoor and artificial light as an addition to the greenhouse.
