ABSTRACT: Cannabis has attracted a new
wave of research attention as an herbal medicine. To deliver compliant,
uniform, and safe cannabis medicine, growers should optimize growing
environments on a site-specific basis. Considering that environmental factors are
interconnected, changes in a factor prompts adjustment of other factors. This
paper reviews existing work that considers indoor growing conditions (light,
temperature, CO2 concentration, humidity, growing media, and
nutrient supply), management practices (irrigation, fertilization, pruning &
training, and harvest timing), and post-harvest treatment (drying and storage) for
cannabis indoor production.
