Best state to grow outdoors?!?

Try West Virginia,especially the southwestern part of the state. The growing season runs about 7 months,land is dirt cheap along w/ property taxes and there's no zoning outside of towns. Plus,the law isn't as hot and heavy after weed as it is across the Tug River in Kentucky.

If you want to grow Indica's,plant on the hillsides to avoid the cooler air that settles in valley bottoms in the summer/fall and promotes bud rot. Sativa's will literally grow anywhere you want to put 'em,but the bottoms are best with those deep silty soils and all day sun. You won't need much in the way of fertilizers in the bottoms,they flood in the early spring,bringing fresh soil. Plant both when you would plant late corn,about mid-May.


Some folks back there like to plant before the 1st of May,but I never thought the soil was warm enough by then.

The one downside to growing in WV is hunting is a quasi-religion. Squirrel and bow season for deer starts in mid-October,scouting for good spots starts a couple of weeks before that. Everybody and his brother hits the woods on opening day. You'll want to grow strains that finish up around the end of September or earlier,unless you have secluded,posted,private property.

Come on up to ND, but be prepared it is freaking cold during the winter. Just basically sit indoors and get baked all winter long. Beautiful summers though and not many people to bother your grow op. Do however have to deal with dogooders that feel it there right to turn you in. Freaks!!!! Settle down. Ok. Good Luck Grow Happy and have fun.

Best outdoor in the US is a simple question? All around best states are in the Midwest! Yes the Midwest, lol! This is why most of the hemp was farmed in the Midwest.. Yes Cali and many others will produce higher yield and quality but if going for easy to grow (plenty of rain) easy to hide (everything's still green in fall) cost of living in country very low.. so depending on strains and how you want to grow (guerrilla growing) large amounts is best in states that farmed most of hemp back in the day! I've grown outdoors 4ever in Cali, Denver,Georgia and Illinois Wisconsin area. IMO easy large amounts all around best in Midwest! Try canoe or 4x4 , snowmobile trails maps! Use trails or streams to spread out plots using satellite maps to find best spots from above... GPS to keep track cause you rarely need to water,fencing, tending/spoiling plants like other regions in the US.. Could so many old school hemp farmers be wrong? Or a bunch of us stoners lol! Oh yea
Never fucking rat out your bros. if caught (rarely) you will do some time! Later Aggro

The Northern High Plains of South Dakota. South Dakota has the highest elevation east of the Rockies. The weather could produce some monsters with the never ending sun there.

If it's a garden you will tend to then without knowing or caring of the laws I'll say Arizona, phoenix is the valley of the sun and New Mexico is similar to az year round more sun than most of the states.

Word!! NM gets so much sunshine every year, certainly no re-veg problems midway thru flower.. Water supply is a minus tho.. Just like AZ and TX.

North Carolina. Perfect weather, slightly humid, but you can combat that by growing strains more on the Sativa side. Harvests as late as December are possible in some areas of the state. Look at any chart and we produce more bud than any other state other than California.

There are a ton of big timers out there for sure. Some real bush tho and not like the Nor Cal kind.. However the climate is certainly very similar to coastal nor cal..

Yup. Not a place for outsiders to make friends real easily tho, especially not in the growing biz.

states have so many dif advantages.. Almost like
" what's best strain" question. Best quality and yield
are in areas w/max sun but regions like that Cali arizona
sacrifice soil,rain,camo(fencing),risk... They need much
more attention than Midwest ect. Night vs day! JJust really
depends on how, what kind, guerrilla or backyard sstyle ect ect.
oh yea but Midwest (rainy regions) have the serious risk of
Bud mold! Peace!

The southeast corner of Kansas where they still nail you to a cross for simple possession.

Well, I've grown in both S. Florida and central midwest. Both have distinct advantages and drawbacks. The soil is crap in Florida, has to be heavily amended or replaced. This makes a true in-ground very difficult, but it's how I started. The real advantage to Florida growing are the strains you can run, particularly long flowering sativas...which cannot be placed in-ground further north unless you have a cold frame etc. At the same time, humidity is a real problem down south until that first cold front clears the peninsula.

The midwest and corn belt, and even mid-south regions have soil full of microbial life, and that clay medium is loaded with nutes once you lighten it up a bit. You can grow monsters in these areas, unless of course there is a major drought...which isn't an issue in Florida since it rains damn near everyday for 6 months straight.

We just passed outdoor cultivation laws this year. But the entire garden, including top, must be fenced...

Careful w/this one, b/c some farmers utilize pesticides. Feed corn is perfect b/c it's intentionally harvested after drying on stalks come November, but again please insure you're not sharing land with chemical growers.

If you've ever wanted to buy property in a Pacific coast state. and compared similar stretches of land, all things being equal, with other parts of the country, you'd get a wake up call on real estate prices.

I mean, the west coast is great, just be prepared to pay AT LEAST $100-$200,000 more for an equal piece of property almost anywhere else in the U.S.

bahahaha this is stupid... I can get a house in Redlands for 250,000 and it will be a mini mansion... In chico you can rent a house for like 400 dollars a month. You can rent in oregon for the same.

What you said is false. Compare New York to California, rent in New York is way higher. What about Manhattan house there are 3-100 million... Just like in California... A lot of states have more wealth zones then the rest of the zones. You can find places for dirt cheap in california and that is a pacific coast state. You can find rent higher than California in New York and that is an Atlantic Coast state....
