Why Companies Are Integrating AI into Industrial Cannabis Cultivation

From greenhouse monitoring to seed-to-sale tracking, machine learning can be used as a technological solution in almost every stage of the cannabis retail chain. One of the largest complaints regarding the controlled environment agriculture is that it consumes too much energy. Unfortunately, cannabis cultivation, due to the nature of plants, requires a closely controlled environment in order to ensure a certain quality of harvest. This is because some of the cannabinoids found in hemp will be affected by the plant's growing conditions, i.e., it could negatively influence the concentration of cannabidiol (CBD) or other valuable chemical components. Outdoor cannabis environments, particularly in more northerly regions, are very risky and can limit your production periods to specific months of the year.
