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. Massachusetts has a workable outdoor season for both types in most of the state, though autoflowers are the safer choice for growers in western Massachusetts and the Berkshires where the window is shorter.

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.

Massachusetts allows up to six plants per person, with a household maximum of twelve plants under M.G.L. c. 94G, § 7. Two adults at the same address can grow up to twelve plants combined, but no household may have more than twelve regardless of how many adults live there. All plants count at all stages of growth — there is no separate seedling category. Cultivation must take place at your primary residence. Read the full Massachusetts home grow law breakdown for details.

Yes. Massachusetts municipalities have authority to restrict or ban home cultivation, and rules vary significantly across the state's 351 cities and towns. Before setting up a grow, check your local ordinances or contact your city or town directly. The Cannabis Control Commission maintains a municipal tracker you can use to check your community. See our Massachusetts home grow laws guide for more.

No state permit or registration is required. Plants must be in a locked or secured area and not visible from public spaces. If you rent, your landlord can prohibit cultivation — check your lease before starting a grow. Cultivation must be at your primary residence only. Read the full Massachusetts home grow law breakdown for complete details.

Massachusetts spans USDA Zones 5-7, with most of the state in Zones 5b-6b. The outdoor season typically runs late May through late September to early October. Photoperiod varieties started indoors in March to April and moved outside after last frost can reach full maturity in most of the state. Western Massachusetts and the Berkshires have a shorter season where autoflowering varieties finishing in 70-90 days are more practical. New England's late-summer humidity makes mold-resistant genetics worth prioritizing for any outdoor grow. Enter your zip code on our zone map for your specific window, then browse our short-season varieties or autoflowering varieties.

Most Massachusetts outdoor growers start seeds indoors in late March to April and transplant after the last frost, typically mid-to-late May. Varieties that finish in late September are the safest outdoor choice — New England's August and September humidity can cause issues for genetics that stretch into October. Western Massachusetts growers should lean toward shorter-season varieties or autoflowers. Check your zip code on our zone map for specific frost dates, or see our germination guide for step-by-step starting instructions.
