Welcome to Cannabushee

Most of what’s online about growing cannabis is written for indoor growers in California, Oregon, or Colorado. That’s not us. Illinois has a short season, heavy clay soil, thunderstorms that show up without warning in July, and a legal framework that’s specific to registered medical patients. The playbook is different here.

I started Cannabushee to share what I’ve learned growing outside in northern Illinois for over a decade — and to help people who are trying to do it themselves.

Who this is for

• Registered Illinois medical cannabis patients
• Home growers who want to move outside after a few indoor runs
• First-time growers who’d rather start with help than a costly mistake

What you’ll find here

Short, practical posts on things that actually matter outdoors:

• Season planning — working backwards from first frost
• Soil — amendments, cover crops, what to do about clay
• Strain selection — what actually finishes before October
• Pests — spider mites, caterpillars, and the stuff that shows up at mid-flower
• Harvest — reading trichomes, drying in humidity

If you want help applying any of this to your own grow, book a consultation. Otherwise, stick around and read.

Grow it outside.
