"Take care of the earth and she will take care of you." ~Author Unknown by Nebula Haze Do you want to grow a bunch of (almost) free weed outdoors? Do you seek the satisfaction of growing cannabis plants in nature? If so, you’ve come to the right place. This beginner outdoor marijuana growing tutorial will walk you through the basics of growing weed under the sun. Just follow all the steps, and you will be holding your own homegrown weed by the fall. Don’t you want cannabis growing in your backyard like these beautiful plants by LuckyAcres? Let Your Cannabis Buds Embrace the Sun Why grow your cannabis outdoors? - Free Light! (The Sun) – Cannabis plants “eat” light. Light is what feeds the growth of buds, and more light = bigger yields on average. Outdoors, the sun provides all the light a cannabis plant could use.
- You Have
Space – An indoor cannabis garden takes room in the house. If you’ve got a good space outdoors to grow weed, why not use it?
- Extra Weed – Even if you’re an indoor cannabis grower, it’s nice to get a huge bumper crop of extra weed every year. If you set your outdoor grow up properly, it should be fun, straightforward, and lucrative.
This White Widow plant is growing big, beautiful cannabis buds. Pros of Growing Cannabis Outdoors vs Indoors - Cheap – Thanks to the sun, you don’t need electricity or grow lights to grow cannabis outdoors. Electricity is often the highest cost in indoor cannabis growing, so a free source of unlimited light dramatically cuts down costs. Outdoor weed is the cheapest weed to grow.
- No Heat – Outdoor
growing doesn’t cause heat in the home, like a grow light. Though admittedly, a very small LED grow light won’t change the temperature of a room.
- Less Work – Depending on where you live, the outdoors takes care of many of your cannabis plant’s needs, such as providing water through rain.
With indoor growing, you typically must water your plant a few times a week.
Cons of Growing Cannabis Outdoors vs Indoors Pests – Bugs and other outdoor pests are often the biggest challenge for outdoor cannabis growers compared to indoor growing. - How to Deal: Bugs can be dealt with. This outdoor tutorial suggests a mix of pest management practices and safe insecticides (when necessary). With extra care, outdoor growers can grow a clean cannabis crop of big beautiful buds.
Local Climate –
Harvest timing is a factor for outdoor growers, because weather/light cycles are different in different parts of the world. Some growers may have to prepare for weather such as storms or heat. No Artificial Light at Night (Photoperiod Strains Only) – Outdoor
photoperiod plants start making buds in late summer as the nights get longer (long nights are the plant's signal that “winter is coming”). - How to Deal: Cannabis plants won’t make buds if their beauty sleep gets interrupted, so take a moment to think about any nearby artificial lights. For example, don't plant your cannabis right under a street light. (Ignore this con for autoflowering strains, as autoflowering plants don't care about light
cycles.)
Stealth – It’s best if no one knows about your cannabis plants unless you tell them. However, cannabis plants have a potent aroma and plants can grow quite large if given plenty of sun, nutrients, and root space. - How to Deal: Even if it’s legal to grow where you live and you’re not worried about thieves, it’s still good to be a considerate neighbor and not stink up the neighborhood. Here's a helpful guide to stealthy outdoor cannabis cultivation.
Quick outdoor tip, while we're here: These delicate floating white eggs are actually good eggs. They come from the green lacewing bug, a garden friend. Leave these eggs alone so they can hatch and eat cannabis pests in the area. Check out this guide to outdoor pest management.

Is Neem Oil Effective for Cannabis Pests? Are you battling pests or bugs in your cannabis garden, but don’t want to use harsh chemicals? Enter Neem Oil, which may be the #1 most popular organic pesticide in the world. In our surveys, neem oil is the
most common insecticide used by cannabis growers, by far. That’s because neem oil effectively kills many cannabis pests, including aphids, crickets, grasshoppers, leafhoppers, leaf miners, mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips. These leaves show damage from thrips, one of the many cannabis pests that can be treated with neem oil. What is Neem Oil? Neem oil is a natural, organic pesticide derived from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree. In India, neem oil has been used for over 3000 years, with the first known mentions of neem oil in
ancient Indian texts including the Atharva Veda, dating to at least 1000 BCE. Neem oil has a rich history deeply rooted in traditional medicine and agriculture. For the cannabis grower, neem oil is a natural pesticide, fungicide, and miticide that effectively controls a wide range of pests. However, when used as directed, it doesn't seem to harm most beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies. Its effectiveness is largely due to Azadirachtin, an active component that makes the cannabis plant "taste bad" to pests, as well
as disrupts pest reproduction and growth. Learn more about using Neem Oil for cannabis (including step-by-step directions!) "I'm so grateful for your newsletter. I am an outdoor grower, and finally had a good harvest this last fall. My adult son bought me a Magic Butter machine for Christmas. I just went back and
read a bunch of your articles including the comparison of the Magic Butter machine vs the LEVO machine, and your recommendations about recipes. Thank you so much for all of your fabulous information. I attribute my cannabis success to both of you."
