Why Cannabis Cultivation Smart Farming Techniques can all Benefit Farm Operations

PALM BEACH, Florida, June 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the early 1960's or maybe even earlier people in the U.S. have been growing cannabis/marijuana for personal use and for sale on the black markets. They would set up crop locations in remote areas, or in a clearing in a forest, or in the middle of corn fields. Some even used nets like the military to hide their operations from the air! All of these techniques were eventually foiled by the authorities over time which caused the 'outlaw' cannabis growers to move their operations inside to escape detection.  A recent article in a cannabis industry publication talked about these unintentional pioneers in indoor cannabis growth techniques. The article said in part: "They are coming out of hiding. For decades, these hidden growers had to be creative. They took risks. And they're bringing the knowledge gained from those risks to the traditional agriculture market as it, too, shifts indoors."  Active companies in the Cannabis market this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTCQB: NUGS), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: CVSI), Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRNE), Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (TSX: NEPT.TO) (NASDAQ: NEPT).

And it is not just the cannabis operations that will benefit. The article added: "Legalization allows cannabis growers to come out of hiding with knowledge invaluable to the urban farming movement… Produce and herb farmers are watching the cannabis industry closely, looking to implement technologies that cannabis is investing to more efficiently address their own operations in greenhouses and even outdoor cultivation."  For example: "Ten years ago, high-pressure sodium (HPS) lights were the only option cannabis growers had for growing their products indoors, away from the prying eyes of law enforcement. But in recent years research shows LEDs promise to be more energy efficient and effective for plant growth, both of which improve the bottom line for (all) growers. LEDs are already enabling year-round harvests, eliminating concerns around seasonality, increasing plant yields by supplementing sunlight and making it possible for plants to thrive in the dead of winter."
