How to Reduce Costs for Indoor Cannabis Cultivation

2021-08-06

1. The most ENERGY SAVING LIGHTS

The overall efficiency of conventional lighting technologies (lamps with 250-1000W wattages) is not great. Embracing power-saving solutions like semi or fully automated LED grow lights installment could be a worthy long-term investment.

Not only do they emit lower heat, but LED lights can also be adjusted to specific plant needs. With LED installations, the spectrum, and intensity of light are adjustable and the grow lights can be set to turn on and off whenever needed. And since less power is converted, there are fewer bills to be paid.

2.Manage Your Light for plants

Growing indoors means you can adjust lighting to meet your needs. When growing outside, plants don’t begin to flower until the days shorten and the temperature cools. You can trick your plants into thinking it’s winter by reducing their daily exposure to light to harvest sooner. Using data to determine the ideal time to adjust the lighting will allow a quicker turnaround for your crop and support additional harvests each year.

3.Reduce the use of pesticide

Pesticides are wildly expensive and can also lead to the spread and transfer of harmful microbes and other pests via air, which is why it is advised that all the grow rooms be isolated. Also, be sure to invest in a proper air sanitation set-up as the clean air will ensure that your plants flourish.

4. manage your farm space

Another way to reduce costs when growing cannabis is by utilizing space to its full capacity. The best resolution to the spacing problem is vertical growing. Transitioning to a vertical system saves you so much space that you may be able to fit five times more plants in a certain area.
