Should I grow California Cannabis Seeds indoor or outdoor?

If you want to grow California Cannabis Seeds, and you are in California, try and take advantage of the free and abundant sunlight! The state has some of the best weather in the world and is famously renowned for hosting perfect weather for cannabis cultivation. It is a big state so mind that you are in a place that gets plenty of sunlight over spring and summer.

Indoor growing can also be a solid way of producing your California Weed. The weather, being good for outdoor growing, makes it easier to regulate temperatures and such when growing California Cannabis Seeds indoor. 

Let's look at both options.

California Weed outdoors

Growing cannabis outside requires some forethought, like choosing a spot with at least seven hours of sunlight and setting up a tarp. 

Too much rain saturates the soil and leaves the plant with no nutrients to absorb, so an area with decent drainage is best. You won't have to worry too much about rain in most of the state, but in some cities, there can be frequent precipitation.

This writer has seen some California Cannabis Seeds grow into none other than full-size trees. In one instance, the harvesters were forced to use ladders to get the top colas and most of the other buds. The potential is massive so make sure to really spread out the branches with guiding ropes and such. 

If you want to grow your plants to be huge, start with pots that are quite large such as 100 gallons. Pick up some top-quality California Cannabis Seeds that are designed to grow in this warm climate. Getting a plant to be that big is not for the faint-hearted, but it has been done by stoney hippies which means it can be done by you!

California Weed indoors

California Cannabis Seeds that grow indoors are protected from the elements, like wind and heavy rain, and can still thrive with an artificial light cycle. The best part is with the correct light setup, you can cultivate cannabis year-round, regardless of the season.

Cultivating indoors allows you to control every aspect of your grow op, including light, humidity, temperature, and more. Pesky pests are far easier to eliminate when indoors which is a huge plus since they are quite difficult to combat with organic pesticides. 

Either way surely works, but if you want to take full advantage of the place you are in, grow California Cannabis Seeds in the California sun!

The History of California Weed 

Cannabis cultivation in California is some of the most serious and traditional cultures in the United States. Growers all over the state take it very seriously, but no one like the outdoor growers up in the Emerald Triangle. 

The Emerald Triangle is a place in the most northern region of the state. It links three counties famous in the industry for competing in the Cannabis Cup. 

Back in the 70's when all of the hippies were shunned from San Francisco and the Haight-Ashbury as the shine of psychedelics and protesting war off, those tree huggers had to go somewhere. So, they drove up north where isolation from major cities meant freedom from many things including the law. 

As suspected, tree-hugging hippies love cannabis (not mutually exclusive) and decided to start breeding and cultivating some of the finest marijuana the world had yet seen. THC levels are through the roof and unprecedented organic techniques are well guarded by these prestigious farmers. All this success is in part to do with what I'm sure was great care for the plants, but also because the weather was so naturally suited to cannabis. 

Now that years of culture have been seeded in the Emerald Triangle, the area is known to many as the weed capital of the US which put California Cannabis Seeds on the global map. 

What to consider when growing California Cannabis Seeds

There are several factors to consider before growing pot seeds in California and building your setup. The climate and weather are different in northern California than in the south, and both areas have the possibility of pests.

Make everything easier by choosing the right weed seeds. Some contain genetics that makes them resilient against pests and adverse weather conditions.

Climate conditions

California’s weather is perfect for growing marijuana through every season of the year, as it’s sunny and warm in most parts of the large state. This is especially true in Humboldt County, Mendocino County, and Sonoma County. 

The northern region boasts freshwater mountainsides and old-growth forests, perfect for growing indicas. The south is mild and dry and ideal for cultivating sativas.

Everywhere in between is a Mediterranean climate with moderate rain and temperatures ranging from 65–75°F, in which cannabis does very well. Choose seeds from our California Seed Banks that are bred to flourish in the region, and you'll experience smooth sailing and smooth smoke from your California Weed. 

Pests and diseases

The most significant threats to cannabis plants are spider mites and mold, which quickly destroy your crop if you don't take precautionary measures.

If your batch gets infected, it’s quite difficult to recover, so it’s better to take preventative measures instead of treating your plants when they get sick. Regularly using pesticides that are cannabis-friendly is likely to protect your crop. Some organic techniques include planting horsetail around the crop, and covering the area with nets. 

The best way to prevent mold is to keep the plants from being rained on. Especially when in flowering stages, provide constant dry airflow, and remove infected parts to limit spreading.

When to plant California Cannabis Seeds

If you’re growing marijuana indoors, you don’t need to worry about timing and can cultivate immediately after getting your seeds.

The state doesn’t have four distinct seasons, and daylight hours change throughout the year. It’s worth researching what your particular region is like before you buy your California Cannabis Seeds.

Outdoor growers aim to plant autoflower seeds in early summer to make the most of the sunny days.

Are California Seed Banks legal?

In 1996, medicinal use was legalized, and in 2016, recreational use was decriminalized with certain restrictions. Marijuana can only be used in private spaces like your home, as public consumption leads to a $100 fine.

You must be 21 or older to purchase and grow a maximum of six cannabis plants at home. People who are at least 18 years of age can use and cultivate medicinal cannabis with a physician’s recommendation.

Only licensed California Seeds Banks can have marijuana seeds for sale in California, so long as they scan customers’ IDs for record-keeping. You’re allowed to carry up to one ounce of cannabis, which means dispensaries can’t sell you more. 

Not all cities and counties in the Golden State permit the sale of weed. Places like Anaheim have rules separate from the state, so research if your region allows weed. 

The Basics of California Weed

It's legal, but don't go screaming about how high you are with your joint lit on some vibrant corner of Hollywood Blvd. You'll probably be fine, but the locals will definitely give you bad looks and if a cop sees they'll likely fine you or at least threaten you. 

If you haven't smoked California Weed before and are relatively inexperienced in the consumption of kush, then please for the love of ganja do mind how much you do and try to start with the weaker stuff. this writer has seen visitors freak out when smoking California Weed having thought it wasn't going to be very different from the ditch weed they grew up with in the Midwest.

Mind yourself and surround yourself with people who sincerely care about you. Because as legal as pot is, if you're running around the streets barefoot and screaming, or simply curled up on a couch with your thumb in your mouth thinking about scary things, it won't be a good time. Be responsible, know your limit, and have moderate fun!
