Plants must stay out of public view. If they can be seen from the street, a neighbor’s yard, or a public space, the grower risks penalties. Many use fences, greenhouses, or enclosed patios to keep their plants hidden.

• Blue Dream handles moisture better than many other strains. Its natural resistance to mold makes it a solid pick for outdoor cultivation, especially in coastal and valley regions. This hybrid grows vigorously and produces dense, resinous buds. A little pruning helps improve airflow, keeping the plant strong through the late summer rains.

Soil quality plays a big role in plant health. Oregon’s native soil is rich, but adding perlite helps with aeration, and compost improves nutrient content. Good drainage prevents root rot, especially in wetter areas. Raised beds or fabric pots keep plants from sitting in too much moisture.

Pests like slugs and aphids can ruin a crop fast. Setting up barriers, using organic sprays, and checking leaves regularly helps keep plants safe. Predatory insects like ladybugs also provide natural pest control.
