Growing Cannabis Outdoors: Guides by State

Growing cannabis outdoors is the easiest way to get big plants with free sunlight. Here you'll find our outdoor guides: when to plant in your state, how weather and season length change things, and state-by-state grow guides for places like California, Arizona and Texas. Home-grow laws differ by state and change often, so check your state's official sources first (adults 21+ only). Our 35 gallon outdoor kit and our 5 gallon kit both grow well in a sunny yard or patio.
