How Do You Grow Your Cannabis?

We understand the cannabis plant and know what it needs to grow strong, lush and potent. We use technology along with our plant-centered cultivation experience to grow some of the most high-caliber cannabis on the market. We call it precision cultivation.

We’ve built a state-of-the-art structure for our plants. The facility is crazy-clean, super-efficient and we’re focused on nurturing exceptionally good plants.

We care about sustainability and energy use and our smart indoor facility is optimized to use fewer resources and to conserve energy and water where we’re able to do so. 

We believe in efficiency, rules, and processes. Our business and cannabis plants are too valuable to not pay attention to every. single. detail. Shortcuts aren’t for us.

Do You Use Pesticides?

No. We have an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach that ensures nothing harmful to you or the environment touches our plants. While an IPM approach to pest control can include spraying lesser-toxic chemicals or pesticides (only when a crop needs it), we do not utilize pesticides in our current IPM strategy.

What is IPM?

IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management. It’s an approach to pest control that combines techniques of prevention, reduction, and elimination through a variety of physical controls, resistant species, biopesticides, and more. An IPM approach can also include spraying selective pesticides and other chemicals only when the crop needs it, but generally means overall fewer pesticides are utilized. 

What Kind of Predatory Bugs Do You Use?
  • Amblyseius swirskii (swirski mites) are used to target pests like broad mites, thrips, spider mites, and more. When the pests aren’t around A. swirskii consumes pollen.
  • Aphidius colemani (parasitic wasps) are used to naturally eliminate pests like aphids from the harvest.
  • Dalotia coriaria (rove beetles) are used to prevent, control, and manage fungus gnat larvae, root aphids, and thrip.
  • Orius insidiosus (minute pirate bugs) are used to eliminate thrips. They are said to be the most effective because they can attack and kill all mobile stages of thrips.
  • Steinernema feltiae (parasitic nematodes) are used to keep our substrate clean and the plants in exceptional health.
Are the Bugs on the Final Product?

No! That is one of two common concerns when utilizing IPM (Integrated Pest Management). The second concern is related to waste products from the biocontrols. Both are myths.

The predatory bugs deployed in an IPM approach actively hunt pests to reduce prest pressure – they do not target flowering nodes and don’t colonize in inner nodes of a cannabis plant. If there is no food source for the predatory bugs, they will leave in search of food elsewhere.

The waste produced is limited and not on the flowering crop itself. It is very unlikely to see signs of predator bugs near the end of the flowering cycle or in the finished product. Even when using larger predatory insects, the bugs will leave the plants when harvested and dried. Here at MJ Verdant, we actively use bioinsecticides and have specific procedures that clean our cannabis plants.
