In an era where sustainability is paramount, methods of cultivation matter. At Aho Farms, we harness the power of the sun to grow our medicinal cannabis, a choice that benefits both the planet and the patient.
The carbon footprint problem
Indoor cannabis cultivation is notoriously energy-intensive. It relies on high-powered artificial lights, dehumidifiers, and climate control systems running 24/7.
By contrast, sun-grown (or greenhouse) cannabis utilizes the earth's natural light source. This drastically reduces electricity consumption and environmental impact.
The full spectrum advantage
Beyond sustainability, the sun offers something no bulb can fully replicate: a complete, natural light spectrum.
- Terpene DevelopmentUV rays in natural sunlight stimulate richer, more complex profiles of terpenes as a natural defense.
- Entourage EffectNatural complexity enhances therapeutic efficacy through the combined action of plant compounds.
Hawke's Bay: The perfect climate
Our location in Hawke's Bay provides an ideal microclimate for horticulture. High sunshine hours and fertile soil allow us to grow vigorous, healthy plants with minimal artificial intervention.
Choosing sun-grown is a choice for a greener future. It proves that we can produce premium medicinal products without costing the earth.
