What’s more, the technology of greenhouses is improving every year. By taking advantage of advanced tech, greenhouse cannabis growers can dramatically increase their yield and raise their profits, benefiting everyone in the cannabis industry.

Still, a no-tech greenhouse is likely not operating to its highest capacity, so investing in some critical technologies, like lights and temperature controls, could be key to success and profits.
