Indoor Hemp Grow

In a climate-controlled indoor environment, hemp can reach its full potential and deliver higher cannabinoid concentrations.

Indoor-grown hemp is also more terpene-rich, making it taste and smell better. The future of hemp is indoor-grown — however in Thailand this method is still very rare.

The benefits of growing indoor hemp:

Higher cannabinoid concentrations

High cannabinoid concentrations (20% +) will only be delivered with indoor-grown hemp which can be grown indoors hydroponically or in soil. Either way, indoor-grown hemp almost always contains higher concentrations of cannabinoids which is suitable for medical grade pharmaceuticals. With outdoor-grown hemp flower, it’s rare to see yields higher than 10% CBD. As for greenhouse, they usually grow at 15% CBD on average. However, both outdoor and greenhouse depends on sea level and weather conditions, among other things.

Better terpene output

Outdoor hemp plants receive less care and they’re under more stress. This results in reduction of terpenes or even disappear almost entirely. Even if outdoor-grown hemp yields relatively high concentrations of cannabinoids, it doesn’t express very many terpenes. Either that, or the terpenes it expresses become damaged during processing. There’s a reason that indoor grown hemp buds smell and taste so amazing. It’s cultivated with care in climate-controlled, perfectly lit indoor environments that are like paradise for hemp plants.

Denser flower

On some occasions, outdoor hemp doesn’t receive enough sun or energy it needs to grow effectively. As a result, outdoor-grown hemp flower is consistently low-density. Density in hemp flower isn’t everything. If you can see straight through a bud you’re holding, however, something’s wrong. Indoor grown buds are dense and juicy partially because they receive enough artificial light. Nutrients and substrates are also added to make sure buds are dense and output higher yield.

Less contaminants

While growing hemp in soil can deliver great results when you use the right type of soil and nutrients, hemp that’s grown outdoors, however, is usually just not properly planted in the dirt. Many hemp fields are located in areas where other crops were grown previously. Modern agricultural practices strip soil of nutrients. Soil in fields that have recently been repurposed doesn’t have what hemp plants need to thrive. Even worse, hemp fields are often located within larger agricultural sectors. As an outdoor hemp farmer, even if you don’t spray your crops with pesticides, that’s no guarantee your neighbour won’t. Agricultural runoff carries pesticides, fertilisers, and heavy metals along with it. It’s almost impossible to prevent agricultural contamination in outdoor environments, but indoor hemp cultivation has the potential to be completely contamination-free.

Better-looking buds

Indoor-grown hemp buds just look better. They’re denser and frostier (more crystals), and they express more of the delicate orange hairs that make Cannabis sativa such a beautiful plant.

Smokable Hemp

They express more terpenes and cannabinoids while remaining free of contaminants. So, hemp buds that were grown indoors taste better and produce milder smoke or vapour therefore suitable for the now trending smokable hemp. Maximising and retaining the terpenes that flowering hemp expresses is a big part of helping hemp smoke stay smooth. Trimming away excess leaves and ensuring that no pesticides or fertilisers made their way into your bud also plays a big role.
