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. New Mexico's long, warm season at lower elevations supports both types comfortably outdoors. Autoflowers are the better fit for northern New Mexico and higher elevations 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.

Each adult may grow up to six mature plants and six immature plants under NMSA § 26-2C-25. The household cap is twelve mature plants — two adults at the same address can grow up to twelve mature plants combined, plus up to twelve immature plants. No registration or plant tagging is required, which makes New Mexico one of the simpler states for home growing. Read the full New Mexico home grow law breakdown for details.

Yes. Outdoor cultivation is permitted as long as plants are in an enclosed area not visible from a public place. A locked greenhouse or fully enclosed structure that blocks the view from streets and neighboring properties satisfies the requirement. An open backyard garden visible from outside does not qualify. New Mexico's dry climate makes it one of the better outdoor growing states in the Southwest — low humidity keeps mold pressure minimal. Use our zone map to find your planting dates. See our New Mexico home grow laws guide for the full breakdown.

No. New Mexico does not require any permit, registration, card, or plant tagging for personal home cultivation within the legal limits. If you rent, your landlord may prohibit cultivation as a condition of your lease — get written permission before growing in a rental property. Read the full New Mexico home grow law breakdown for complete details.

New Mexico spans USDA Zones 4-9 with most of the state in Zones 5-8. The dry, sunny climate is excellent for outdoor cannabis — low humidity keeps mold pressure low compared to the East Coast or Pacific Northwest. At lower elevations around Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and the Rio Grande valley, the outdoor season runs roughly April through October, giving full-season photoperiod varieties plenty of time to finish. Northern New Mexico and higher elevations have shorter windows where short-season and autoflowering varieties are the better fit. Water management is the main outdoor consideration in the arid climate. Enter your zip code on our zone map for your specific window, then browse our full-season varieties, short-season varieties, or autoflowering varieties.

In the Rio Grande valley and southern New Mexico, growers can start seeds indoors as early as late February to March and transplant outdoors after the last frost in April. Northern New Mexico and higher elevations should wait until mid-to-late May. New Mexico's long southern season means multiple autoflower runs per season are possible for growers who want to maximize harvests across the year. Check your zip code on our zone map for specific frost dates, or see our germination guide for step-by-step starting instructions.
