Alphabet Soup of Cannabinoids Part Two: Introducing Pure Beauty!

Pure Beauty sustainable produces a quality indoor-grown CBD* dominant flower.  Growing plants indoors, they can control the environment while nurturing their plants to the flower stage.  All of the water used in their cultivation is collected from the air because a single cannabis plant needs approximately 150-250 gallons of water to reach flowering state. They also use bugs – like rolly-pollys, earthworms and nematodes along with friendly bacteria, fungi and protozoa to create a “soil food web”, naturally preventing disease and plant-eating predators, providing nutrients and protection.
