“We’ve been able to collect a significant more amount of data and learn from it, even just over the past five years,” said Peterson.
In the same ways that farmers learn over time what crops grow best in what areas, we learn to isolate environmental factors to optimize plant growth.
These developments have decreased the number of days plants take to reach maturity and, in turn, increased the number of harvests a year within greenhouses.
In addition to environmental developments, we have also seen cannabis development in the plants themselves through crop steering and breeding.
