Cannabis Seeds for Georgia Growers

Yes. Cannabis seeds are legally classified as hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill. The seed itself contains no meaningful THC regardless of what the plant would eventually produce, so purchasing seeds — including high-THC feminized varieties — is legal in Georgia. Triangle Seeds ships cannabis seeds directly to Georgia customers.

Yes. Triangle Seeds ships cannabis seeds to Georgia home growers. Orders are packaged discreetly and typically go out within 1-2 business days. Questions about your order? Text or call us M-F, 10-6 EST at (919) 410-6945.

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 as days shorten in late summer — across most of Georgia, that means harvest in late September through mid-October. Indoors, you trigger flowering by switching to a 12-hours-on/12-hours-off schedule. They give more control over plant size and yield but take longer to finish.

Autoflower varieties flower automatically based on age, finishing 9-12 weeks from seed regardless of light schedule. In Georgia's humid coastal regions, autoflowers are useful for timing a harvest during a drier window. In the mountain counties of northwest Georgia, they're a smart choice for staying ahead of an earlier first frost. Not sure which is right for you? See our Strain Selection Guide.

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found naturally in the cannabis plant, commonly reported as calming and supportive for sleep, stress, and everyday discomfort — without the high associated with THC. CBD seeds are the primary variety grown commercially under Georgia's GDA hemp licensing program. Licensed growers looking for outdoor CBD genetics suited to Georgia's long, warm season can browse our CBD seeds. Home growers can also purchase seeds now to be ready if Georgia legalizes home cultivation in the future. Use the Strain Selection Guide to find the right variety.

No — and Georgia's cultivation penalties are among the harshest in the region. Home cultivation of cannabis is a felony from the very first plant, carrying one to 10 years in prison on a first offense. A second conviction escalates to five to 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $40,000. Cultivation involving a minor carries up to 20 years. A driver's license suspension of up to five years also applies to any cannabis cultivation conviction. This applies to everyone, including registered medical patients. Many Georgia residents are purchasing seeds now to be ready if that changes. Read the full Georgia home grow law breakdown.

Quite a bit. Senate Bill 220, signed in May 2026, is the most significant expansion of Georgia's medical cannabis program since it launched. The THC cap on medical products was raised from 5% to up to 50% — a shift that makes the program clinically meaningful for many patients for the first time. Vaporization, including of raw cannabis flower, is now an approved delivery method once regulations are implemented. Qualifying conditions were also expanded to include lupus, severe arthritis, severe insomnia, and inflammatory bowel disease, and severity restrictions for conditions like cancer and Parkinson's disease were removed. Home cultivation was not included in SB 220. All products must still be purchased from licensed dispensaries.

No. Recreational cannabis remains illegal in Georgia in 2026. House Bill 1248, the Georgia Cannabis Freedom and Integrity Act, was introduced in February 2026 and would have legalized adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, allowed home cultivation of up to three plants, and created a regulated market with a 15% excise tax. The bill received no committee action and is considered dead for this session. No legalization legislation is moving in the current legislative calendar.

Yes, with a license from the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA). Applications are submitted online through the GDA Hemp Licensing and Reporting System at agr.georgia.gov — a rolling-basis process with no single annual deadline. One important detail: do not get fingerprinted until after you receive an email from the GDA directing you to do so. The background check system requires fingerprinting at specific GDA-approved locations, and using the wrong location can delay your application or cause you to pay twice. The license fee is $50 per acre you intend to cultivate, up to a maximum of $5,000. Licenses run through December 31 of the year issued and must be renewed annually. See the full Georgia hemp licensing walkthrough for step-by-step details.

The fee is $50 per acre you intend to cultivate, up to a maximum cap of $5,000. A 10-acre grow costs $500. Anything at or above 100 acres hits the $5,000 cap. For small plots of just a few acres, the entry cost is among the lowest in the Southeast. All key participants in your operation must also complete an annual fingerprint-based background check at renewal, and growers pay separately for pre-harvest THC compliance testing each season.

Georgia spans USDA hardiness zones 6a through 9a, with most of the state falling in zones 7b and 8a. The coastal and southern regions around Savannah and Brunswick reach zones 8b to 9a. The outdoor growing season across most of the state runs from mid-April through October — a long, warm window that suits both fiber and floral CBD hemp production. Full-season photoperiod varieties thrive across most of Georgia, finishing in late September through mid-October. In the mountain counties of northwest Georgia (zone 6), shorter-season strains and autoflowers are the safer bet. In the humid coastal plain, mold-resistant genetics are worth prioritizing for late-season protection. Enter your zip code on our zone map for your specific window, then browse our full-season varieties, short-season varieties, or autoflowering varieties.

Across most of Georgia (zones 7b-8a), start seeds indoors in late March to early April and transplant outdoors after your last frost — typically mid-April. Photoperiod varieties started in early April will flower in late August and finish in late September through mid-October. In the coastal south (zones 8b-9a), you can push transplants to early April with a lower frost risk. In the northwest mountains (zone 6), target a late April to early May transplant and lean toward autoflowers or short-season strains to avoid fall frost. Check your zip code on our outdoor planting tool for your exact dates, or see our germination guide for step-by-step starting instructions.
