Question 1

1. Why do some people prefer to grow weed outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Some growers prefer growing their weed outdoors because they believe that this offers them a better and more ‘natural’ means of growth when compared to growing it inside a confined space. Others tend to do it because it is a much cheaper means of growing marijuana as there are no electricity expenses, neither are there costs associated with buying equipment such as grow tents, grow lights, fans, etc. Furthermore, growers who want to grow really large quantities would also prefer growing outdoors as indoor growth restricts the amount of weed you grow based on the space you have inside the room. Hence, there are a number of people who would rather grow weed outdoors.

Question 2

2. What are some factors that need to be taken care of while growing weed outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Here are some factors that need to be taken care of during outdoor cultivation of mariuana:rnrnTemperature changes: You must ensure that you are growing at a time of the year when there are no drastic temperature changes (from hot to too cold or from cold to too hot). If this is the case, you must consider using a greenhouse along with temperature control devices like an AC or a heater in order to control the temperature.rnrnWind:  Strong winds are often overlooked by growers as a potential threat. Hence, in the event that winds escalate and get severe, some plants (especially young plants) might get uprooted. This is why growers either grow them in pots so that they can be moved around during the time of high winds or use a greenhouse.rnRain and Snow: Excess rain and snow can be a major deterrent to growth and can totally destroy your cannabis plant. Hence, either grow at a time when rain and snow are minimal or grow outdoors using a greenhouse which might be of great help. rnPests: A huge problem for growers indoors or outdoors - pests, insects, animals and other such deterrents to growth need to be kept away to ensure you are getting a good growth. Using a greenhouse would again be a good solution towards keeping pets away.

Question 3

3. Is it illegal to grow weed outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Now this is something that is different on a case-to-case basis. In some places where consumption of weed is legal you might be allowed to grow weed outdoors (but in limited quantities). In some places smoking might be legal but growing might need a license, while in other places smoking might be legal but growing outdoors might be illegal. However, there are many places where either everything is legal or everything is illegal too. It is best to check with the local law enforcement agencies before you get started with your outdoor cultivation of marijuana.
