Discussing Advanced Cannabis Cultivation Technologies
Advanced cannabis cultivation has come a long way in recent years. Humans have cultivated the cannabis plant for centuries. However, much of it was outdoors under the sun without the use of technology.
In recent decades, cannabis cultivators have produced crops indoors or in greenhouses at an increasing rate, largely out of necessity due to global prohibition policies. The rise of the legal cannabis industry has been paralleled by an increased use of cultivation technology, as well as advances in that technology. It is truly exciting times for the legal cannabis cultivation sector.
Long gone are the days of simply yielding a cannabis harvest. Successful cultivation is more methodical than ever, with commercial cultivators having to produce harvests at scale in a cost-effective manner, all while being mindful of yielding crops that are compliant with market regulations and capable of being used in an ever-expanding list of end products for patients and consumers.
At the recent International Cannabis Business Conference in Berlin, a panel moderated by Quinn Shiskin, President of McIntyre Creek Cannabis Inc., discussed advanced cannabis cultivation technologies. Mr. Shiskin was joined by:
- Franz Josef Sima, Horticulture Service Specialist in the EMEA Region for Fluence
- Albert Eppinga, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist, Founder of BC Cann
- Max Majot, Technical Manager and Cultivation Expert at Royal Queen Seeds
- Rui Soares, Founder and CEO of Paralab
- Mikhail Sagal, President of TSRgrow
Technological innovation is reshaping cannabis cultivation, from automated systems to AI-driven analytics. This panel explored how tech solutions can boost yields, improve quality, and reduce costs. Panelists also discussed modern ways of energy storage, innovations in cultivation lighting, and high-efficiency cannabis cultivation techniques. You can watch the panel at this link here.
