The Best Cannabis Strains to Grow in Vermont

Growing cannabis can be an exciting experience, especially if you live in an area where cannabis can be cultivated outdoors. Marijuana can grow under the right conditions, including in Vermont.  In fact, the Green Mountain State’s humid continental climate and mild to warm summers are where cannabis can thrive. 

Vermont tends to have shorter summers with longer and colder winters compared to many other states. This climate means that cannabis cultivators must start growing their cannabis indoors around March and then move their plants outdoors in May when temperatures increase. 

The seasonal temperature shifts in Vermont can make cannabis growing challenging for outdoor growers. In this article, you’ll find the best strains to grow in Vermont based on effects and versatility to temperature shifts.
