Humboldt is great but even places like Sac can grow amazing weed
My neighbors growing up grew huge, amazing plants for a couple years, would give my parents a ton for help trimming n caring for em while they were at work or on vacation or shit like that
The only places I’ve been in CA I haven’t caught either a grow op or someone growing a personal or two were all in the mountains and in the winter
I even knew a guy who lived near death valley that grew some outdoors, but never got to try it
