Following is a list of products mentioned in our tutorials. Each list has associated numbers that correspond with the material in the tutorials. These numbers are specifically to grow four plants, which is the highest legal amount anywhere in Canada and the US at this time.
Outdoor growing has not been included in these lists because it is more difficult to provide adequate security measures so that criminals or underage persons cannot gain access to the product.

Hey there,
I’ve really enjoyed reading this article as you’ve provided us with tonnes of valuable information. I have a big garden to grow Marijuana, but I have a question though. Does a Marijuana grow in winter under severe conditions, or is summer the best possible time to grow it?
Thanks in advance for answering my question. Keep up the good work!
The cannabis plant is native to subtropic to tropic locations, meaning warm.
You can legally grow it at any time, since outdoor growing is not legal. You cannot provide the necessary security to keep the product out of the hands of criminals and children.
It will not grow in winter conditions for a few different reasons.
It won’t handle the cold very well, and cannabis is (like most plants) photoperiod dependent for its life cycle. This means that it requires the difference between seasons, long days to grow tall, shortening days to trigger flowering.
It propagates to ensure its survival when it sees that the days are no longer providing enough light to keep growing. This means it produces flowers (the buds you eventually smoke), and the males will provide the pollen for the females to be fertilized. The females then produce seeds, which will remain dormant until they receive the correct conditions to sprout (warmth, moisture). Fall and winter typically don’t supply enough moisture for this to happen.
Among the products listed on the site, which one is the best?
That entirely depends on what you need at the time. For example, a tent won’t do you any good if you don’t have some type of grow light.
The entire list is updated periodically to keep the best quality (and best value) products on it at all times.
