Why do you think Tobacco areas of the south would out perform ag areas of norcal? Hawaii is out of the question. Chopping rainforest for farming is not sustainable. If things were to go legal & Hawaii were to mass produce it would destroy the ecology.
Seems to me the benefit of emerald triangle is the culture easy to hide from law. As far as agriculture it can't compete with farm land. If this is true don't you want the land between the coast & desert? ie.. sacramento

The South has very dank soil, a long growing season, and is mostly flat. Fields could be plowed, planted, and harvested with ease. Indicas may not do well from the intense sun and heat.

I feel like Humboldt is a good candidate not only because of it's seclusion but it gets barely any rain in the late summer/fall which prevents mold and if you're right outside of the fog belt you still can enjoy somewhat decent temps(not too high). This is great for growing purples which will probably be demanded more in the future. The land is a bitch to work with, very little flat land.

I'd love to hear more thoughts/ facts about this climate as it's something that interests me deeply.

Why do you think there will be a demand for purps? Seems purps are losing to indoor. Personally I think Mexico is our biggest competition. I think if we found out how much is coming across the border we would be in shock. Don't understand how MJ growers support Dems when they do not want to shut the border down.

certain areas of humbolt and mendo are close to the coast so they get morning fog...so mold is an issue...plus property in the triangle is insanely expensive....humbolt just has some of the best laws regarding MMJ, up to 3lbs cured and 99 plant gardens...

i personally think butte county, nevada county (the eastern side of the valley in the foothills) has better growing conditions...less humid, good sun, excellent mountain water, cheaper real estate....

and not alot of people use the native soil....its all trucked in...lots of people using fox farms, roots organics, etc....

the soil is great in norcal, lots of volcanic rock. some areas in the country just have better growing conditions for specific plants.. tomatoes do very well in jersey and Pa, tobacco is best grown down south, and cannabis thrives in california.. probably for the weather, and the longer stretched season. although it can be grown just as well anywhere els i think california would just have a more promising year.

but like others have said, growers dont even use native soil.

Seems like some areas of Florida would be great. When it comes to purchasing realestate I can't bring my self to buy land to grow when that land is no good for farming. Unless we have a repeat of the 70's when MJ took steps backward I think grows will continue to get larger. Once data comes out from all the studies taking place it will be difficult (not impossible) to argue with data supporting MJ. It is true that the San Joaquin valley (farm land) will blow away Humbolt county not using native soil is a huge disadvantage. Humidity, pest, & temps are critical, even indoor growers who operate in ideal climates have huge advantages over growers who are operating in climates requiring major inputs.

San Joaquin Valley haha I used to grow my stash there in the 70's. All I had then was sats but they did grow well. I wouldn't want any herb grown in that smog hole that it is now.
Humboldt has free air conditioning on the coast, clean air and good water. But it's not a good place to grow.

really depends imo

[Davesnothere420]

Out of the three counties in humboldt which one would be the best to grow in?

[mikeandnaomi]

Outdoor Hawaii = high humidity in flower - ouch.
