Cannabis Seeds for Vermont Growers

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 Vermont's short outdoor season, autoflowers are a particularly strong choice for growers in the Northeast Kingdom and higher elevations. Not sure which is right for you?

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 and lets you experiment with ratios that work for you. Check out our Strain Selection Guide to explore our hemp varieties.

Vermont allows two mature plants and four immature plants per dwelling unit under 18 V.S.A. § 4230e. This is a household cap, not a per-person limit — it applies to the entire dwelling unit regardless of how many adults live there. Two adults sharing a home have the same ceiling as one adult living alone. Read the full Vermont home grow law breakdown for details.

Yes. Outdoor cultivation is permitted as long as plants are screened from public view and access is limited to the cultivator and adults 21 and older with permission. Vermont spans USDA Zones 3b-6a, with the Champlain Valley offering the longest outdoor season. Use our zone map to find your exact planting window. For a full breakdown of the rules, see our Vermont home grow laws guide.

No permit, registration, or license is required. Adults 21 and older may grow within the plant limits without registering with any state agency. If you are renting, Vermont law requires written consent from your landlord before growing. Selling homegrown cannabis without a commercial license remains illegal. Read the full Vermont home grow law breakdown for complete details.

No. This is one of Vermont's more grower-friendly rules. Cannabis you harvest from your home plants does not count toward the standard one-ounce possession limit, as long as it is stored indoors on the same property where it was cultivated. Two well-grown outdoor plants in the Champlain Valley can yield a meaningful personal supply that stays fully legal under this rule.

Vermont has one of the shorter outdoor cannabis seasons in the country. Autoflowering varieties that finish in 70-80 days are the safest choice across the state, particularly in the Northeast Kingdom and at elevation where the season can be under 120 days. In the Champlain Valley and lower elevations, short-season photoperiod varieties finishing in early to mid-September are also viable. Mold and botrytis resistance should be a priority given Vermont's humid late summers. Enter your zip code on our zone map to see your specific window, then browse autoflowering varieties or short-season varieties.

In the Champlain Valley, the last spring frost is typically late April to mid-May. Most Vermont outdoor growers start seeds indoors in late April and transplant after the last frost. At higher elevations and in northern Vermont, wait until mid-to-late May to be safe. Autoflowers can be started later since they are not dependent on day length. Check your zip code on our zone map for specific dates, or see our germination guide for step-by-step starting instructions.
