The Best Cannabis Strains to Grow in Nevada

When growing cannabis, there are a few important factors to note, like the region of the United States you’re growing in and the type of climate it provides. Nevada has a desert climate, with temperatures reaching 87 degrees Fahrenheit in July and as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit in January. 

The optimal conditions for growing many cannabis strains are Mediterranean climates or climates that share the same qualities. The Mediterranean climate consists of warm and hot summers, mild winters, and very little rain. This moderate mix enables cannabis plants to thrive when grown outdoors.

Since the arid climate of Nevada is mostly hot and dry during the summer, the cannabis strains you cultivate will need extra special care and attention to fully thrive in the heat and extremely dry conditions. The list below includes some of the best cannabis strains to grow in Nevada as well as tips to ensure the best results from those different strains. 

Gold Leaf

Robert Bergman’s signature strain, Gold Leaf, is a 60% indica with THC levels around 20%. This strain prefers Mediterranean weather and is one of the more popular cannabis strains everyone should pick for their outdoor grows, including beginner cannabis cultivators.
