Instead of relying on Lake Mead, the Amargosa Valley utilizes a prehistoric ancient aquifer to provide drinking water to all households and businesses. The area’s unique geological configuration maintains the water at 55°F as it travels through a natural underground filtration system. By the time the liquid reaches its destination, it contains natural nutrients like magnesium and calcium that enrich cannabis plants.

By utilizing natural sunlight, growers minimize the need for pesticides, insecticides, and other synthetic chemicals. The hot desert sun acts as the ultimate disinfectant: Ultraviolet light kills both mold and bacteria. The extremely dry heat inhibits parasite growth on its own, as most parasites can’t survive in the desert’s high temperatures. Additionally, the ecosystem is home to many lizards, ladybugs, praying mantises, and lacewings, which rapidly multiply and eat pests.

Soil is another critical puzzle piece. Outdoor soil provides the ultimate natural environment for cannabis plants. Using coco coir or Rockwool is effective for indoor growing, but at MJ Holdings we’ve found natural soil maximizes the plants’ terpene and cannabinoid profile, along with yields. Our proprietary compost tea mixes sea kelp, bat guano, worm castings, and molasses to strengthen and feed the soil, increasing beneficial bacteria the plants consume through their roots.

Natural airflow is yet another benefit of outdoor cultivation. Plants can aspirate naturally since they’re not contained within the air that is cleaned, scrubbed, and recirculated. Indoor operations draw thousands of kilowatt-hours of power to cool and filter contained air at a very high volume.
