Growing Cannabis Outdoors: Good Yields from Bad Weather
Growing cannabis outdoors is the most natural way to grow your own. Your crops receive free energy from the sun, and their roots have more room to expand in the ground.

(WFSB) – Soon, businesses will be able to grow and sell recreational marijuana in Connecticut, but how do we make sure none of it ends up on the black market? Other states use technology to track marijuana. Track-and-trace technology doesn’t just help ensure marijuana stays in the regulated market, it also protects consumers, it’s easier to recall products that go bad, and it’s all because companies can track even ounce from seed to sale. “I want to make sure that we are doing the most efficient, thoughtful process with every gram,” Megan Sanders, CEO of Canna Provisions, tells us.
