It doesn't really make sense, but most jurisdictions treat cultivation far more harshly than simple possession.
I wouldn't hold my breath for legal cannabis in LA any time soon; its still a pretty conservative state.
To answer the original question. . .
Hi I grew last year with great results but now i plan to start growing again to see if i can get better results. The only thing is I almost got caught growing and had to start flowering early, so now I want to see if anyone knew how to build an outdoor grow box that will still let in natural sunlight but be discreet at the same time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and I love if anyone could tell me the best time to plant again because the weather has been fucked up meaning it is freezing one day and hot as fuck the next. Thanks to all who respond.
Some people do well growing outdoors in shacks or greenhouses with translucent/frosted plastic roofs that still let in enough light to grow, but make it impossible to see what's actually inside. This works fine in super-sunny climates (eg like LA).
There is more than one way to skin this "cat"; its basically a question of matching your stealth outdoor grow room/box to the surroundings so it doesn't stick out. Think: Greenhouse, outhouse, doghouse(!), tool shed, etc.
In general, growing outdoors with lots of other people around is pretty risky. Even if you can't directly see the growing plants, most strains tend to get pretty stinky in full flower outdoors, and that can be a bad giveaway. You also have to be discreet about how often you visit your grow and when.
On planting. . .plant NOW. . .INDOORS. . .under a small CFL light. By the time the small plant is ready to be transplanted outdoors, it will be warm enough to do so.
