From Seed to Joint: The Journey of Outdoor and Greenhouse-Grown Cannabis

The making of outdoor and greenhouse cannabis at Aphrodite

At Aphrodite, we believe in providing our customers with the finest cannabis prerolls, meticulously crafted from seed to joint. In this blog post, we'll detail the comprehensive process of growing cannabis outdoors or in greenhouses, followed by the essential steps of drying, curing, and rolling the flower into premium joints. This journey highlights the dedication and expertise involved in bringing you the best cannabis experience.

Growing Cannabis Outdoors and in Greenhouses

Outdoor Cannabis Cultivation

Growing cannabis outdoors harnesses the natural environment to produce robust and flavorful plants. Here’s a breakdown of the outdoor cultivation process:

1. Selecting the Site: Choosing a location with ample sunlight, good soil, and proper drainage is crucial. The site must also be secure and away from public view.

2. Planting: Cannabis seeds or clones are planted in the prepared soil, typically in early spring. Using organic fertilizers and compost enriches the soil and promotes healthy growth.

3. Watering and Nutrients: Regular watering and feeding with nutrient-rich solutions ensure the plants receive the necessary elements to thrive. Monitoring for pests and diseases is also essential to maintain plant health.

4. Growing Season: As the plants grow, they undergo vegetative and flowering stages, which last from spring to fall. Pruning and training techniques help manage plant size and maximize yield.

Greenhouse Cannabis Cultivation

Greenhouse cultivation combines the benefits of natural sunlight with controlled environmental conditions, offering a balanced approach to growing cannabis. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Greenhouse Setup: A greenhouse provides protection from extreme weather and pests while allowing natural light. It can be equipped with ventilation, heating, and cooling systems to maintain optimal growing conditions.

2. Planting and Care: Similar to outdoor growing, seeds or clones are planted in nutrient-rich soil or hydroponic systems. Regular watering, feeding, and monitoring are essential for healthy growth.

3. Environmental Control: Greenhouses allow for precise control over temperature, humidity, and light cycles, which can be adjusted to optimize plant growth and flowering.

4. Harvesting: Once the plants reach maturity, usually in late summer to early fall, they are carefully harvested. Trimming off excess leaves and stems prepares the buds for the next stages.

Drying and Curing Cannabis

Drying Process

After harvesting, the cannabis buds undergo drying to remove moisture and prevent mold. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Hanging: Buds are hung upside down in a dark, well-ventilated room with controlled temperature and humidity. This process takes about 7-10 days.

2. Drying Rack: Alternatively, smaller buds and trim can be placed on drying racks. The key is to ensure even airflow around all parts of the plant.

Curing Process

Curing is crucial for enhancing the flavor, potency, and overall quality of cannabis. Here’s the curing process:

1. Jar Curing: Once dried, buds are placed in airtight glass jars. The jars are stored in a cool, dark place and opened periodically to allow fresh air in, a process known as “burping.”

2. Monitoring: Curing can take from a few weeks to several months. Regular monitoring ensures that moisture levels are balanced and prevents mold growth.

3. Final Product: Properly cured cannabis buds develop richer flavors and a smoother smoking experience, making them ideal for premium prerolls.

Rolling Cannabis into Joints

After curing, the cannabis is ready to be rolled into joints. Here’s how we do it at Aphrodite:

1. Grinding: The cured buds are ground to an even consistency, ensuring a smooth and consistent burn.

2. Filling: The ground cannabis is carefully filled into pre-rolled cones or rolling papers. The amount of cannabis is measured precisely for each joint.

3. Packing and Rolling: The joints are gently packed to ensure an even burn. Hand-rolling or using a rolling machine ensures consistency and quality.

4. Final Inspection: Each joint undergoes a final quality check to ensure it meets our high standards. Only the best prerolls make it to our customers.
