Cannabis plants are usually grown indoors in the UK with the help of fluorescent lamps and a controlled temperature gauge.
But they can tolerate slightly harsher conditions and will thrive as long as they remain sheltered from the elements.
The growing season in the UK is rather short as cannabis is essentially a tropical plant.
Cannabis is induced to flower when the daylight has reduced to about 13 hours per day.
This happens during September, but the plant has only six to 10 weeks flowering time before the first frost kills the plant.
September and October can also be cold and wet, increasing the chances of fungus and disease ruining the crop.
There are varieties bred especially for outdoor growing in Northern Europe, but these tend to give poorer results than the best indoor or greenhouse types.
The ideal grow site should get unrestricted sun for as much of the day as possible and protection from strong winds.
With excellent growing conditions, Cannabis has been known to grow six inches a day, although the rate is more commonly one to two inches.
The optimum temperature is 27C to 30C, so this is possible during the height of summer in the UK.
