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 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. For Alaska outdoor growers, autoflowers are the most practical choice — Alaska's short frost-free season makes finishing a full photoperiod run outdoors challenging in most parts of the state.

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.

Alaska allows up to six plants per adult, with a household maximum of twelve. Two adults at the same address can grow up to twelve combined. The key Alaska-specific rule is that no more than three of your six plants can be mature (flowering) at any one time — the remaining three must be in vegetative growth or earlier stages. No permit or plant tagging is required. Read the full Alaska home grow law breakdown for details.

Yes, but Alaska's climate makes outdoor growing challenging in most of the state. Most of Alaska is in USDA Zones 1-4, with southcentral Alaska around Anchorage reaching Zones 4-5 and the Southeast panhandle reaching Zone 7 near Juneau. The Matanuska Valley north of Anchorage has a surprisingly productive summer season thanks to extremely long daylight hours. Plants must be kept out of public view and secured from access by minors. Use our zone map to find your specific window. See our Alaska home grow laws guide for the full breakdown.

No. Any adult 21 or older can grow at their private residence without a permit or medical card. Plants must be kept out of public view and secured from access by anyone under 21. Landlords can prohibit cultivation in lease agreements — check your lease before growing. Read the full Alaska home grow law breakdown for complete details.

For most Alaska growers, indoor cultivation is the most practical approach — it sidesteps the climate entirely and gives you full control year-round. For outdoor growers, the Matanuska Valley and the Southeast panhandle offer the best conditions. Alaska's extremely long summer daylight hours accelerate vegetative growth dramatically, but the short frost-free season means finishing outdoors is challenging for most photoperiod varieties. Autoflowering varieties finishing in 70-90 days are the clear choice for outdoor grows across the state. Cold-hardy genetics with short flowering times perform best. Browse autoflowering varieties or use our Strain Selection Guide for indoor recommendations.

In the Matanuska Valley and Anchorage area, most outdoor growers start seeds indoors in late April to May and transplant after the last frost, typically late May to early June. Autoflowering varieties started in late May can finish in August ahead of the first fall frosts. The Southeast panhandle has a longer window and more flexibility. For indoor grows, you can start seeds any time of year. Check your zip code on our zone map for specific dates, or see our germination guide for step-by-step starting instructions.
