The cultivation methods and scenarios of cannabis are mainly divided into two categories: outdoor cultivation and indoor/greenhouse cultivation. Different methods have different requirements for climate, lighting, moisture, and humidity, and are suitable for different scenarios. Here is a comprehensive overview:
Features: Utilizing natural sunlight, low cost, high yield, but greatly affected by weather and pests.
requirement:
Temperature: 20 ℃~30 ℃
Lighting: At least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day
Humidity: 50%~70% during growth period, 40%~50% during flowering period
Suitable scenarios:
farmland
hilly land
Courtyard/Backyard
Warm and dry Mediterranean climate regions (such as Spain and California)
Features: Fully controllable, can be planted throughout the year, stable quality, suitable for high-value crops, but high cost.
requirement:
Artificial light source (LED/HPS lamp)
Temperature: 20 ℃~28 ℃
Humidity: 65%~70% during seedling stage, around 40% during flowering stage
Air circulation: requires fans, air filters, and dehumidifiers
Suitable scenarios:
Indoor Grow Tent
Basement planting room
Professional planting factory
Features: Combining outdoor and indoor advantages, utilizing natural light and supplementing artificial light sources, able to control temperature and humidity.
requirement:
Greenhouse covering material (glass/plastic film)
Ventilation and humidity control (fan+professional greenhouse dehumidifier)
Keep the temperature between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃
Suitable scenarios:
Farm greenhouse
Controllable planting areas in suburban areas of cities
Characteristics: No need for soil, directly fed with nutrient solution, fast growth and high yield, but high requirements for equipment and management.
Common systems: DWC (hydroponic bucket), NFT (nutrient liquid film), atomization spray system.
Suitable scenarios:
Indoor high-tech planting factory
High density commercial planting

Suitable Scenarios |
|
1. Outdoor |
Utilizing natural sunlight and soil, relying on natural climate |
Low cost, high output, and natural ecology |
Due to weather and seasonal restrictions, susceptible to pests, and unstable quality |
Farmland, hillsides, courtyards, warm and dry climate areas |
|
2. Indoor |
Fully manual control, using lighting, ventilation, and dehumidification equipment |
Can be planted throughout the year, with stable quality and strong controllability |
High cost, high power consumption, limited space |
Planting tents, basements, and specialized planting rooms |
|
3. Greenhouse |
Natural light combined with artificial supplementary light can control temperature and humidity |
Energy saving, high output, and stable quality |
Large initial investment and high management requirements |
Farm greenhouse, urban suburban planting area |
|
4. Hydroponics/Aeroponics |
Soilless cultivation, directly fed with nutrient solution |
Fast growth, high yield, and few diseases |
High technical threshold, high equipment and maintenance costs |
Commercial planting factories, high-tech greenhouses |
Pursuing Low Cost → Outdoor Planting
Pursuing Stable Quality → Indoor Planting
Compromise Plan → Greenhouse Planting
Pursuing high yield and technological advancement → Hydroponic/Aerosol Cultivation
