Is It Too Late to Order and Germinate Seeds in Michigan (June)?Updated 2 days ago

If you're in Michigan and wondering whether you still have time to start seeds in early June — the answer is yes, but the clock is ticking. With a typical outdoor growing season running from late May through mid-October, you still have a window to germinate, especially with fast-finishing strains.

🌱 Can I Still Start Photoperiods Outdoors?

Yes — but choose indica-dominant or fast-flowering strains that can complete their cycle before the first frost. Most indica strains have shorter flowering times and finish earlier than sativas, making them better suited for shorter seasons.

Here are a few great picks you can still start this season:

1. Purple Kush (Indica)

  • Flowering time: 8–10 weeks

  • Compact and resilient

  • Great for pain relief and sleep

2. Northern Lights #10 (Indica-dominant)

  • Flowering time: ~8 weeks

  • Heavy yields and very forgiving outdoors

  • Excellent mold resistance

3. Grandaddy Purple (Indica)

  • Flowering time: 8–9 weeks

  • Rich purple hues with a relaxing body high

  • Popular for short-season growers

4. Cherry Pie Fast Version (Indica-leaning hybrid)

  • Fast Version = quicker flowering

  • Finishes up to 2 weeks sooner than traditional photoperiods

  • Fruity flavor, mellow effects

⚡ What About Autoflowers?

If you're really tight on time, autoflowers are a great backup plan. They flower based on age (not light cycle) and are ready to harvest in 8–11 weeks from seed. You can plant autos well into July and still get a harvest before frost.

🧊 What If I Don’t Use All My Seeds?

Cannabis seeds stay viable for years if stored correctly:

  • Keep them cool, dark, and dry

  • Use an airtight container with a desiccant (like silica gel or uncooked rice)

However, please note:

Our Germination Guarantee is valid for the first 120 days after delivery.
After that time, seeds are no longer covered under the guarantee — even if they were stored properly.


So, while the window is closing, you're still on time for a productive outdoor grow in Michigan — especially with the right strain choices. Germinate soon, and you’re good to go!
