Best Cannabis Strains To Grow In Oregon

Last updated: 27 March 2024

best outdoor strains for Oregon

Oregon was among the first states to legalize growing medical marijuana back in 1998, helping to pave the way for today’s more accepting laws regarding recreational usage, possession, and cultivation in the U.S. Now, in 2021, post-legalization of adult recreational use and growing means that Oregon has remained one of the best states for growing marijuana, allowing people to keep up to four cannabis plants per household. To help you fill your home ganja garden, we’ve created a guide to Oregon weed strains – those varieties that will perform the best in this state’s climate!

California might call itself the king of cannabis cultivation thanks to its year-round warm and sunny weather, but the Northwest U.S. is also a fantastic place to grow marijuana outdoors. In fact, Oregon has several zones, like Rogue Valley and Applegate Valley, with a Mediterranean climate that’s ideal for cannabis cultivation, even including pure landrace Sativas. Summers here start early and are usually mild, leading up to higher temperatures in August. Planting your pot plants outdoors in late spring can therefore result in amazing harvests by the end of the season.

Best Outdoor Marijuana Strains For Oregon

Despite the variability of temperatures and weather in the Northwest, it can be a great place to grow marijuana. Choosing the right strain for the region is the first thing you can do to guarantee a bountiful harvest. If you live in Southern Oregon, you can grow most strains if you start early enough. However, for other regions of the state with harsher climates, such as the coastal range, the Willamette Valley, and Central and Eastern Oregon, when deciding what strains of cannabis to grow, go for early-finishing, autoflowering, and other strains that can handle high humidity levels and temperature fluctuations.

Strawberry Cough is a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain that loves to be grown both indoors and out. Easier to grow than most other Sativas, this lady should be planted somewhere that gets plenty of sunshine, and she will soak up all the water you can give her! Buds are typically quite dense when grown indoors, while outdoor plants produce huge, fluffy colas. All that aside, Strawberry Cough is an amazing, strawberry-flavored social smoke that will snuff out social anxiety with her sweet flavors.

Resistant to both hot and cold weather, Blueberry Cheese Auto is ideal for outdoor growers in coastal, Central, and Eastern Oregon. She is also one of the best high-yielding outdoor strains for Oregon, hitting up to 500g (17.3oz) per plant of huge, fruity buds with a stinky, cheesy taste.

As with any other Kush, this strain is often chosen by outdoor growers in Eastern Oregon who are looking for a shorter flowering time and a sturdier plant structure that can withstand the desert winds.
