I have always been a huge advocate for organic, sun-grown cannabis. As you know for really good sun-grown, it’s about genetics and the farmer. The significance of sun-grown, organic practices worldwide have always had prominence, particularly in light of the plant’s unique ability to act as a phytoremediator and bioaccumlator.Sun-
grown organic cannabis is cultivated outdoors or greenhouse, harnessing natural sunlight and abstaining from synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Which overall means cleaner and safer cannabis for the people using it, for you, your family and the planet.
The importance of this approach is multifaceted when it comes to why sun-grown is overall better for humans and the environment:
- Environmentally Friendly: Sun-grown cannabis significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with indoor cultivation, which often demands substantial energy consumption for lighting and climate control. Moreover, organic farming practices foster soil health and biodiversity.
- Health and Safety: By choosing organic cannabis, consumers safeguard themselves against potential harm from residues of pesticides and other chemicals used in conventional growing methods.
- Quality and Flavor: Advocates argue that sun-grown cannabis boasts a superior flavor profile compared to its indoor counterparts. Natural sunlight and outdoor conditions can massively enhance the plant’s terpene & cannabinoid profile, influencing aroma and taste. The high lasts much longer than indoor-grown cannabis flowers.
While the advantages of sun-grown organic cannabis are apparent let’s get more into the plants’ synergy with the soil. In the phytoremediation aspect of cannabis, this property highlights the plant’s ability to absorb and accumulate contaminants from the environment. Phytoremediation involves using certain plants, including cannabis, to mitigate soil, water, or air pollution. Cannabis, with its extensive root system and rapid growth, excels at absorbing heavy metals and toxins from the soil or growing medium. This is exactly why you do not want to use chemicals in the soil or on the plant.
Understanding cannabis as a bioaccumulator sheds light on the importance of choosing sun-grown organic cannabis and products derived from it. The bioaccumulation property means that cannabis can absorb elements and compounds from the environment.
All in all, the decision to choose sun-grown, organic, cannabis extends beyond personal preferences, encompassing environmental responsibility, community support, and consumer well-being. Patients play a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future for the cannabis industry through their choices and preferences. So start simple, start small and grow your own.
