As already mentioned, there are millions of purists all over the world who aggressively defend and promote outdoor marijuana cultivation as the only approach to consider. Which is all well and good, if it’s a realistic option at all.  In this instance, we’re assuming you have the opportunity to set up your plantation outdoors if you choose to do so, which means first taking into account a series of major considerations.

These include:

• Growing outdoors means selecting an appropriate area, which over the course of several months at least will remain sufficiently hidden to avoid your crop being spotted by criminals or snitches.
• If you are planning to grow outdoors somewhere that isn’t directly on your property, it needs to be somewhere that is easy to access and that you will be able to visit at least once each week.
• Also for those considering setting up a plantation off-site, try to remember the importance of ensuring there is a reliable and high quality water source in the vicinity.
• Every marijuana strain fares better when provided with plenty of light, meaning that outdoor areas that spend a lot of time in the shade may not be suitable. Ideally, strong and direct sunlight should hit the area from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the very least.
• Climate considerations should also be kept in mind, as marijuana plants generally require a fairly long and warm growing season to reach their full potential.
• Given the fact that you do not have control over the seasons, meticulous timing is of the utmost importance when it comes to outdoor growing. You need to think carefully about when you will be planting your seeds and exactly when you can expect to harvest.
• In addition, outdoor marijuana cultivation can take much longer to reach fruition, highlighting the importance of planning ahead.
• When selecting an outdoor growing location, it is important to take into account the possibility of flooding, general disturbance, animals, bugs and so on.
