What You Need to Know to Design a Successful and Profitable Cannabis Greenhouse
The precision technologies and automation involved with controlled-environment growing offer plenty of benefits for cannabis cultivation in a commercial greenhouse setting. While complex indoor grow setups have become a mainstay over the years in the cannabis industry, greenhouse operations are coming into their own as cannabis cultivators realize their value for growing on a larger scale and reducing heat and energy costs, among other advantages.
Today’s controlled-environment greenhouse growers are well-versed in greenhouse cultivation techniques and the technology that works best to produce a successful crop. Additionally, they’re heavily focused on gaining efficiencies wherever they can to maintain profitability in a highly competitive environment. Cannabis growers can leverage much of this knowledge to their benefit for setting up a successful greenhouse cannabis operation.
What many cannabis cultivators looking to cross over into controlled-environment greenhouse growing do not realize is that it is a complex business. It is one that requires careful thought and planning before launching into it because of the technologies and growing practices involved. However, when done right, with preparation that pays attention to detail, a well-designed greenhouse cannabis facility can provide a cost-effective, yield-optimizing alternative to indoor cannabis growing.
There are no easy answers when it comes down to whether greenhouse growing or indoor growing is superior for cannabis cultivation. The question is what type of facility will best fit a company’s needs and facilitate achieving its end-goals.
This whitepaper briefly covers the pros and cons of greenhouse growing versus indoor growing, and then delves into some of the factors those who want to embark on growing cannabis in a greenhouse must consider to make the best decisions for their project.
Topics covered in this whitepaper include design decisions that impact yield and efficiency, such as:
- Safety considerations
- Compliance issues
- HVAC
- Temperature and humidity control
- Odor control
Whether you are building a new greenhouse, scaling up, retrofitting an existing facility, or just want to learn more about growing cannabis in a controlled-environment greenhouse setting, this whitepaper covers what you need to know to establish a strong foundation that leads to a successful and profitable cannabis grow.
