Cannabis is one of the primitive cultivation crops. It was widely used for medicinal concoct, clothing fiber and community amusement and was grown in open fields. But in the course of time, law enforcement restricted open grow that led to indoor growing.
In recent years, there are countries which have legalized the cultivation of cannabis like Canada, South Africa, Uruguay that are open for both recreation and medicinal purposes.
While most of the growers see that the flowers grown indoor are not potent with at most control over grow rates. But outdoor grow has its own benefits to speak about either in providing essential grow nutrients directly from earth-soil, cutting down lighting expenses replaced by natural sunlight or gaining higher yield.
Here are some benefits of growing cannabis outdoor,
EnvironmentÂ
Growing in the natural climatic conditions are supple for cannabis. The well-known ICFA (International Cannabis Farming Association) supports sun-grown cannabis products. The endless supply of sunlight supports the vibrant yield and leaves behind lesser carbon footprint than the plants grown indoors.
Under considerate conditions, outdoor cannabis can yield up to 16-17 oz marijuana per plant, providing a larger space between each plant.
Quality
With full-spectrum sunlight, soil, climate and surrounding conditions, cannabis grows in a different terpene profile that expresses distinct flavors within plants.
With specific profound qualities of outdoor environments, the potency of the cannabinoids (THC) varies with geographic location providing further medical breakthrough, like greater amount of Myrcene and Camphor for plants grown in Calcareous soil while higher Alpha-Pinene in Siliceous soil.
Expense
The entire renewable resource from earth-soil, sunlight is 100% free of cost. Mother nature looks after every plant in its care, it maintains proper temperature, humidity, wind, nutrients needed. You only need to make initial investment to set up the necessary grow layout, minimal equipment and most of all no labour cost, no excessive electric bill.
