What makes this special?
Cultivating cannabis outdoors provides several advantages over its indoor and greenhouse-grown counterparts. Companies have been actively seeking outdoor growing opportunities because these require lower capital and production costs. Growing outdoors also provides a more sustainable way of cultivation and dramatically decreases the carbon footprint caused by traditional synthetic cannabis cultivation.
