well firstly let me say there is no such thing as stupid questions.... just stupid people lol im only joking, if outside it depends on how you are doing it, if you are just relying on the sun then just after the begining of summer is a good way to go, with hardening so the mj doesnt get stressed, as for indoors/in a shed, then it doesnt matter because we create the enviroment ourselfs, we provide the light,heat,water,nutrients ect. if you are a first time grower i would personally suggest indoor, it may cost a little more but you dont run into as many problems as outside, the weather is un-predictable, but indoors we controll everything so we run into less problems, also if you live in a area where it is not legal you will get in serious trouble growing outside, and indoors you can have military grade zips and carbon filters so your place doesnt stink out, if you like make a decision and i will do my best to guide you threw, taking into consideration that outdoors is based on time of year, hope to hear from you soon, furious
