Cannabis plants are either male or female. Only female plants produce the buds (flowers) you're growing for. Feminized seeds are bred to produce female plants almost exclusively, so you're not wasting space, time, or resources on males that need to be removed. All of the seeds we sell are feminized.

Photoperiod varieties flower in response to a change in light schedule. Outdoors, they begin flowering naturally as days shorten in late summer. Indoors, you trigger flowering by switching to a 12-hours-on/12-hours-off schedule. They typically take longer to finish but give you more control over plant size and yield.

Autoflower varieties flower automatically based on age, usually finishing 9-12 weeks from seed regardless of light schedule. Given Minnesota's short outdoor season and cold climate (Zones 3-5), autoflowers are the recommended choice for most outdoor growers in the state. Not sure which is right for you? See our Strain Selection Guide.

CBD (cannabidiol) and CBG (cannabigerol) are non-psychoactive compounds found naturally in the cannabis plant. People commonly report CBD as calming and supportive for sleep, stress, and everyday discomfort. CBG is often described as more clarifying, associated with focus and a lighter sense of ease. Both are widely used as alternatives to pharmaceutical options for mild anxiety, inflammation, and pain.

Many growers find that blending CBD or CBG varieties with THC varieties produces a more balanced experience. Growing your own gives you direct control over what goes into your plants. Check out our Strain Selection Guide to explore our hemp varieties.

Minnesota allows up to eight plants per household under Minn. Stat. § 342.09, with no more than four being mature and flowering at any one time. This is a household limit, not a per-person limit — two adults sharing a home still have a ceiling of eight total plants and four flowering. The four-plant flowering limit is designed to allow a staggered grow cycle: four plants in vegetative growth and four in flower simultaneously.

Yes, but Minnesota's outdoor grow requirements are stricter than most states. All plants — indoors and outdoors — must be grown in an enclosed, locked space that is not open to public view. An open backyard garden does not meet this standard. A locked greenhouse or fully enclosed locked shed is the appropriate outdoor setup. For planting dates specific to your area, use our zone map. See our Minnesota home grow laws guide for the full breakdown.

No. Home cultivation within the legal limits does not require a license or registration. Cultivation must take place at your primary residence — growing at a secondary property or vacation home is not permitted under the personal use statute. Read the full Minnesota home grow law breakdown for complete details.

No. Home cultivation must take place at your primary residence only. Secondary properties, vacation homes, and rental properties you do not live in as your primary residence are not covered under the personal use statute. A commercial cultivation license is required to grow at any other location.

Minnesota spans USDA Zones 3-5, making it one of the more challenging outdoor growing climates among legal states. Autoflowering varieties that complete in 70-80 days are the clear choice for most outdoor growers — they can be started in late May and harvested before the first frost. In northern Minnesota, early frosts can arrive in late August, which rules out most full-season photoperiod genetics entirely. In the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota (Zones 5a-5b), short-season photoperiod varieties finishing in early September may be viable. Enter your zip code on our zone map for your specific dates, then browse autoflowering varieties or short-season varieties.

Most Minnesota outdoor growers start seeds indoors in April and move plants outside once overnight temperatures are consistently above 50°F, typically late May in the south and early June in northern Minnesota. Autoflowering varieties can be started later since they are not dependent on day length. Remember that outdoor plants must be in an enclosed, locked structure — plan your outdoor infrastructure before germinating. Check your zip code on our zone map for specific frost dates, or see our germination guide for step-by-step starting instructions.
