Best cannabis seeds for California

Adults 21+ may cultivate up to six plants per private residence under Prop 64, out of public view. Local ordinances can add rules for outdoor grows, so check your city or county code.

Home-grow allowance

6 plants per residence

Rules change; verify current state and local law before planting.

Season & seed strategy

Long, dry growing season across most of the state: outdoor photoperiods planted in spring can run to full size, and back-to-back autoflower cycles fit easily. Coastal fog belts favor mold-tolerant, faster finishers.
