Today we will be looking at when is the best time to plant weed seeds outside. This of course is going to be different depending on where you live and the general weather in the area.

Below we look at why you might want to go outside as opposed to indoor and when the best time might be for our local region.

Why you might want to think about growing weed seeds outside

Many states in the USA & some European countries allow the cultivation, possession, and sale of cannabis seeds. The legalisation of weed cultivation in these places has resulted in a rise in interest in growing weed among cannabis users.

When grown right, cannabis cultivation can be the most rewarding activity after all the hard work. If you’re planning to grow weed, the first thing is to decide whether to cultivate weed seeds outdoors or inside.

What are the Advantages of Growing Weed Seeds Outdoors?

Cultivating weed seeds outdoors comes with a variety of benefits for growers and plants. It is the most natural and least expensive method to grow weed. Growing weed seeds outside means plenty of sunlight, better ventilation, more space to work and free rainwater. Here are the reasons to grow cannabis seeds outdoors:

Top-quality buds

With adequate sun, fresh air, natural soil and rainwater, outdoor weed develops excellent flavour. Growing weed outdoor contributes to huge buds and higher yield. With the help of natural sunlight and carbon dioxide, the plants grow larger leaves which in turn assist in accumulating more energy to produce huge buds.

Less expensive

Growing cannabis seeds outdoors is incredibly cheap and effortless. The seeds get enough rainwater and natural sunlight, which is better than grow lights. Additionally, the plants get an infinite supply of fresh air and carbon dioxide. All weed growers know that these are the elements a weed plant needs to flourish.

No Expertise

Cultivating cannabis outdoors doesn’t need that much expertise. All you need is the right seeds and proper care to germinate them. Choose the correct variety for outdoor as there are specific varieties. Some strains are resistant to pests, fungi, and harsh climates.

When Is The Best Time To Plant Weed Seeds Outside?

The question of when to plant weed seeds outdoors does not have a definite answer. Becoming conversant with your local seasons and climate is crucial. There are various factors to consider:

• The altitude of where the garden is situated
• The latitude of where the garden is situated
• The level of precipitation

The ideal yard to grow weed seeds outdoors should have adequate light, a stable temperature, and be protected from bad weather. Growers need to understand the ideal temperature the plant needs to thrive, the most suitable site, the optimal timing of planting and harvesting, and the amount and intensity of light available throughout the season.

Before planting your cannabis seeds outdoors, it is essential to know that weed is an adaptable plant that grows in many climates. Despite being a hardy plant, cannabis does not grow well in extreme weather.

While some seeds can withstand more heat or cold, weed grows best in temperatures below 85 Fahrenheit and not less than 55. Extreme temperatures could cause stunted growth and plant death.

Weather is an important factor when considering the best time to plant weed seeds outside. If your region’s climate is often windy and rainy, weed cultivation may be compromised. Plenty of moisture can lead to mildew growth, and high sustained winds could destroy the plants.

Another vital element in the development of your weed plant is the latitude of the growing area. Your location in the world impacts the amount of sun and darkness your outdoor plants will receive.

While it is not currently legal to germinate or grow seeds in the UK, lets have a look at how each region would fare. This could be useful should the UK update its out of touch laws regarding cannabis cultivation.

Four Main UK Regions

The United Kingdom has a mild oceanic climate with an average annual rainfall of about 1.4 metres. There are approximately 4 hours of sun per day on average. Here are the four main UK regions:

North-west

Weed cultivators in the northwest region experience cool winters and summers, which tend to be cooler than those in the further south. Prevailing Atlantic winds can bring pretty much rain and wind all year round. Growing slower blooming outdoor strains in the north-western region may be less friendly, especially in September and October. Cultivating autoflower seeds may yield better results than feminised outdoor strains.

North-east

Like North West, this region has climate limitations and shorter seasons than the southern area. Growers need to know that summer can be shorter, winters can be cold, and spring takes longer to arrive. You can grow feminised strains, but most growers prefer autoflowers which guarantee excellent results even in shorter summers.

South-east

The south-eastern region can have sunny, and dry summers with lots of warmth and the winters can be cold. Summers sometimes can be cool. Weed growers in this region rely on a variety of feminised seeds than growers in the northern part.

South-west

The southwestern part experiences temperate but wet winters and warm summers with plenty of Atlantic weather. The mild weather leads to a longer growing season than in northern parts. Growers in this region find it possible to cultivate feminised strains.

Some other notes

It’s not advisable to plant the seed too late in the season to give the plant enough time to go through a complete growth cycle. Keep in mind that each part of the country is different. Some regions have a shorter warm season than others, as explained above. If your location has a short warm season, the following tips can help:

• Grow the weed seeds in a container rather than planting them in the ground. This allows you to move the plant to the most suitable part of your garden to get proper sunlight.
• The second trick is using a method called light deprivation. This concept involves reducing the sunlight time by covering the plant after 12 hours of sun.

In a nutshell, understanding the limitations of grow seasons in different regions should be your starting point. From there, you should be able to cultivate your marijuana seeds outdoors regardless of your location. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
