Medical patients have more flexibility. Those who qualify can grow their own cannabis if they live more than twenty-five miles from a dispensary or if they cannot access the specific strains they need. The law allows up to twelve plants per patient, even within city limits. Medical growers must be registered with the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health.

Best Heat-Resistant and Drought-Tolerant Strains

Some strains handle Nevada’s desert climate better than others. Genetics play a big role in how well a plant can survive with limited water and intense sun. Sativa-dominant varieties, especially those with origins in warm regions, tend to perform well.

Adjusting pH Levels to Accommodate Nevada’s Water Sources

Water quality varies across Nevada. Many areas have hard water with high mineral content, which affects pH levels. Cannabis grows best when the pH stays between 6.0 and 7.0 in soil and 5.5 to 6.5 in hydroponic setups.

Deep watering encourages roots to grow downward, searching for moisture deeper in the soil. This method works well for plants in large containers or natural ground beds. Watering early in the morning or late in the evening prevents loss through evaporation. A layer of mulch around the base of each plant helps retain moisture.
