Wow, apparently every place on earth (since this forum jumped the state lines on page one and has gone international) is the absolute best for growing cannabis.... The truth is - doesn't matter what state, there's a reason medical grade is grown almost exclusively indoors. The laws of each individual state have more impact than anything these days. I would like to grow in Hawaii outdoors at some point, humidity and critters would be a bitch but I think some strains would do incredibly well.
