Indoor, Outdoor or Greenhouse: which Swiss CBD to choose?
In the Wild West, not all horses are kept in the same corral. It’s the same with hemp: three major cultivation methods coexist in Switzerland, each with its strengths and weaknesses. Here’s the complete guide to understanding, comparing and choosing.
🌞 Outdoor: the freedom of the Swiss sun
Outdoor is the most natural method. Plants are grown in the open air, in fields or landscaped plots, subject to the rhythms of the seasons. This is the soul of our Calamity Weed range.
To explore the differences between outdoor and indoor cultivation in every respect—price, aroma, carbon footprint—the Sheriff has written a comprehensive comparison of indoor vs. outdoor CBD : round by round, with no beating around the bush.
Outdoor features
- Structure: dense, gathered buds bursting with resins.
- Aromatic profile: earthy, woody, sometimes fruity.
- CBD content: generally between 8% and 15%.
- Price: starting at 1 CHF/g at Wild Wild Weed — our story behind the 1.-/g explains how this price is possible.
- Harvesting: once a year, in autumn.
Who is Outdoor for?
For regular enthusiasts looking for good value for money. For beginners who want to discover without breaking the bank. For purists who appreciate the authenticity of sun-grown hemp.
💡 L’Indoor: Swiss watchmaker precision
Indoor is the most controlled method. Plants grow indoors, under lights (HPS, LED), with fine control of temperature, humidity and CO2. This is the DNA of our Sitting Bull Indoor range.
Indoor features
- Structure: dense, perfectly formed buds, sparkling trichomes.
- Aromatic profile: explosive, intense, complex.
- CBD content: generally between 15% and 25%.
- Price: 8 to 14 CHF/g, the most expensive.
- Harvests: several a year, with perfect regularity.
Who is Indoor for?
For connoisseurs who want the elite of Swiss CBD. For those who value consistency and visual quality. For the occasional connoisseur willing to pay for quintessence.
🌿 Le Greenhouse: the best of both worlds
Greenhouse is the intelligent compromise. Plants are grown in a semi-open greenhouse: natural light is preserved, but temperature and humidity are partially controlled. This category is rapidly gaining in popularity.
Greenhouse features
- Structure: well-formed buds, denser than classic Outdoor.
- Aromatic profile: balanced, natural but more intense than Outdoor.
- CBD content: generally between 12% and 20%.
- Price: 5 to 9 CHF per gram; a good mid-range option.
- Harvests: one to two per year.
The Sheriff Decides: Which Format for Which Situation?
