For millions of years, the Cannabis Sativa plant and its ancestors have grown like a common weed across the steppes of central Asia and other parts of the world. Without the intervention of humans this plant flourished across many parts of the world. About 10,000 years ago, humans realized the usefulness of this plant and began to use it as an agricultural crop to produce oil and food. It was also used at this time to create hemp cordage for pottery. This would mark humans’ love affair with this highly useful plant and begin a long-standing relationship with cultivation. For most of our history with hemp, we have grown it outside under the sun like most other plants. However, in the modern era, we have applied our vast botanical knowledge and specialized techniques to grow the hemp exactly how we want it. This has led to two major specifications for hemp, outdoor-grown hemp, and indoor-grown hemp. Which is better and which should you buy? Read on to find out more.
One of the major advantages of growing hemp outdoors is that plants love natural sunlight. This allows the hemp to more completely and fully realize their genetic potential. This often leads to a high-quality final product with dense buds and plentiful, diversified cannabinoid and terpene profiles. Growing outdoors also costs significantly less than an indoor growing startup. There is no need for fans, tarps, lights, etc. However, an outdoor crop is more prone to damage from pests, mold, and mildew. There is also no way to control the climate and you are at the mercy of Mother Nature’s storms, droughts, and other weather phenomena. Another limiting factor to outdoor growing is the growing season which can change substantially depending on where you are located.
On the other end of the spectrum is indoor grown hemp. This is hemp that is grown indoors usually in a specialized room outfitted with lights and ventilation units. The main advantage of growing indoor is that you can control everything that goes into the plant from light, moisture content, CO2 levels, etc. Best of all an indoor grow operation can also operate year-round with the need to shut down or stop growing in the wintertime. Plants grown indoors are also less prone to pests, mildew, and mold because of the closed environment. They are susceptible to CO2 poisoning so the CO2 levels must be carefully controlled. It is also hard to replicate the exact profile of sunlight, meaning that the cannabinoid and terpene profile may not be as rich and diverse as outdoor-grown hemp.
Despite some of the advantages of outdoor-grown hemp and some of the drawbacks of indoor-grown, indoor-grown hemp is generally considered to be a superior product. The main reason is increased quality control which leads to improved results in any industry and this is especially true in the hemp industry. Look below for some of the benefits a perfect climate and improved lighting can do for indoor-grown hemp:
Despite some advantages to growing hemp outdoors, indoor-grown hemp is generally regarded as the better product. This is especially true when it comes to smokable hemp for the many reasons listed above. If you are looking for hemp buds and you plan to smoke or vape them or use them in your homemade edibles recipes then it is a good idea to seek out indoor hemp. This will ensure you are getting the best quality product and keeping harsh residues and toxic chemicals out of your system.
