“Prevention is key. Therefore, we’re using a technology that is working around the clock to keep our crop protected from potential outbreaks,” says David Polley, Founder of Preferred Gardens. The company grows cannabis in multiple states and specializes in mixed light and indoor cultivation. “Our vision is to provide high-quality cannabis at an affordable price.” In California, the company operates a 50,000 sq. ft. mixed light facility, as well as a 6,000 sq. ft. indoor facility. “I have been cultivating cannabis for decades and am extremely passionate about the plant. I think that is what sets us apart from other growers: consumers notice the love and passion that is put into the plant.”
Legacy brand
Preferred Gardens was founded by David Polley in 2015, who has been cultivating since 2005. “Preferred Gardens was prominent in the medical market long before legalization and remains a legacy cannabis brand: we are family-owned and operated with absolutely no investors,” David says. “We specialize in large-scale, mixed light greenhouse production and indoor cannabis cultivation. The Preferred state-of-the-art operations focus on culture, quality control, consistency, and one-of-a-kind affordable strain selections. Currently, the Preferred Library proudly houses over 260 strains that have not been purchased from nurseries. Instead, they have been bred or pheno-hunted from seed.”
According to David, this is just the beginning. “We have our sights on worldwide sales with both mixed-light and indoor cannabis products, introducing multiple new strains each year.”
Air sanitization
In their Sacramento facility, the company uses the ProGuard technology. “ProGuard is something that is working around the clock to keep our crop protected from potential outbreaks. It’s a preventative measure that is working great for us. So far, the experience has been great and I can definitely vouch for the effectiveness.”
Mike D'Ambra, Founder of Innovative Solutions, explains that ProGuard is different from other technologies because it was specifically designed for high-humidity cannabis cultivation environments. “What makes the ProGuard technology unique is that it uses an ‘active’ sanitization process that constantly seeks and destroys pathogens throughout the entire room. This gives growers the peace of mind of knowing their rooms are being protected 24/7. When you have rooms that have hundreds or even thousands of plants and high humidity, mold, and mildew spores are always going to be present and just waiting for the right opportunity to spread and create contamination issues. But ProGuard’s active sanitization process is continually reducing mold and mildew which makes it ideal for helping large-scale commercial facilities like Preferred Gardens maintain a clean, sanitized environment. The stakes are too high to risk losing any of your crops to contamination issues, and ProGuard helps cultivators to maximize their yields by reducing their mold and mildew issues.”
