The technologies that changed the world of medical cannabis cultivation
In recent years, we have witnessed the establishment of more and more greenhouses and "Indoor" growing facilities for growing medical cannabis, where, thanks to technology, a range of benefits can be enjoyed, among them the major ones: significantly reducing the costs of growing, streamlining and shortening the plant's processes and improving its quality and yield.
As we know, medical cannabis products must meet stringent and rigorous conditions, which in order to meet them must be manufactured, stored and even shipped, according to the updated GMP standards (proper production conditions) and Israeli standards.
For this reason, every innovative technology in the field is carefully scrutinized before it can begin to enjoy the fruits it produces - so here are a few innovative technologies that have been carefully tested and are already enjoying their fruits:
Cost-effective lighting
One of the innovations in the world of medical cannabis growing is reflected in the type of lighting used in
a greenhouse. As is well known, the plant needs a particularly large amount of light and therefore, energy consumption in such a greenhouse is particularly large - which is also evident in the electricity bills.
If, in the past, the only type of lighting that could be used for greenhouses to grow cannabis was HPS lighting, which, in addition to being very wasteful, also produced strong heat which, at times, damaged the plant. Today, thanks to technological developments, economical LED lighting can also be used. LED lighting can also improve product quality and save about 40 percent of costs.
Remote control
Everyone knows the benefits of smart home systems designed for homes and businesses, but what not everyone knows is that these systems have also reached the world of medical cannabis growing.
Today, the cannabis breeding process can be managed and monitored using advanced computer systems, on which dedicated sensors are installed.
Automatic growth
An innovative system, which is the "last word" in the world for medical cannabis growth, enables the plant to be managed automatically, based on an algorithm designed to decipher the plant's needs and condition through image analysis. The system can be monitored in the control system and also by the smartphone.
Quantum Point Technology (UbiQD)
In the world of cannabis breeding Quantum dot technology is implemented as follows: The type of plastic has a kind of plastic sheeting that can be seen by the naked eye as simple, but in practice is based on innovative quantum dot technology, which covers the plastic sheeting.
Quantum dot technology is used by many industries, but only recently has it been applied to the agricultural environment, with its unique development being the possibility of using it against harsh weather conditions as well as enhancing the sun's natural light spectrum.
With this technology, temperature, humidity and light intensity can be regulated, creating the optimal ecosystem for growing cannabis.
