Cannabis Farms

Cannabis farming is a booming industry, especially in the United States. The allure of this industry lies with its profitability and relative low barrier to entry. However, there are some key considerations one should make before jumping into this line of work.

What do I need to start a cannabis farm?

To start a cannabis farm, the following equipment and facilities would be needed to begin operations:

• - land for growing crops - purchased or often farm land leased from farmers who are not interested in this business themselves. This cannabis land can contain a grow house as an option for growing indoors in a greenhouse, which can allow for year round production.
• - If you don't have a greenhouse or grow house on the land for your marijuana plants, you may need to invest in more security systems for monitoring and protecting your crops. As with any other valuable crop which is grown outside of an enclosed facility, security measures are needed for preventing theft or damage by animals and the elements.
• - legal access to grow in your area. Check for zoning rules, regulation, and rely on your local broker for details. You may need a license or other permit which varies by location and jurisdiction for growing marijuana as well as storage and distribution.
• - A water source, whether via municipal water connection, well, or rainwater catchment tanks which need a constant supply of electricity (usually solar) for pumps or other equipment needed to move water inside the building.
• - Proper ventilation, humidity, and temperature control are necessary to create an optimal environment for plants.
• - Capital for all initial startup costs such as seedlings of desired strains with genetic makeup suited to local climate conditions; funds for fertilizers and pesticides; property taxes on land used for farming purposes; transportation of supplies via trucking services.

What are the top locations for weed farms in the US?

When looking into a cannabis farm, an important factor to consider is where your marijuana will grow, because climates vary and you need the right kind of environment for it to thrive in order to produce a good crop. Cannabis farming in the United States is best in areas that have at least 55 days of frost free weather, and summers with temperatures no higher than 95 degrees Fahrenheit. This means you can typically farm cannabis year round in Oregon, Colorado, California or Hawaii.

Factors to take into consideration include sunlight availability (in the northern hemisphere cannabis needs at least 12 hours of light per day), humidity levels that can be controlled with cooling systems or evaporative coolers, access to water sources for irrigation purposes only, as well as access to energy from renewable resources such as solar power. In addition those near major population centers will also have higher land costs than those in rural areas where it is cheaper but more difficult to transport product.
