Indoor vs. Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation: Which is Better?

Originally aired: January 18th, 2023 at 12pm CST 



Cannabis fans know that indoor cultivation produces some of the highest-quality, picture-perfect flower on the market. And when it comes to outdoor cannabis cultivation, there is a lot to be said for flower grown under the warm glow of natural sunlight. 

But both methods have their pros and cons, and for many cannabis cultivators, there isn’t a single right or wrong answer regarding which is the better fit for their operation. 

In this on-demand Rootwurks webinar, you can hear a panel of cultivation experts discuss the benefits of each method, as well as the safety, compliance, and quality issues inherent in both.

About this Webinar

According to Leafly’s 2022 Harvest Cultivation Report, cannabis is now the country’s sixth-largest cash crop, with more annual production than potatoes or rice.

Altogether, the report state that there are 13,297 indoor and outdoor cannabis farming licenses in the United States and that legal cannabis farmers produce 2,834 metric tons of cannabis flower per year, 

But how much of this is grown indoors vs. outdoors? And should more of these indoor cultivators consider growing outdoors or vice versa?

Indoor cultivation allows cultivators to exert significant control over the growing environment. They can also grow multiple harvests throughout the year, as they aren’t reliable on seasonal changes in sunlight.  

But outdoor cultivation has much lower energy costs and allows cultivators to use the sun's unrivaled solar output. 

Both methods have safety risks and compliance concerns that can be unique. In legal cannabis jurisdictions where the climate allows either form of cultivation, does one of the two stand out as a better option for growers?
