| Depending on where in the country you live,but I read somewhere,that you can get you plants started inside starting in March,and put them out at the end of April.or when the temp goes above 70 average. |

| Well your best bet is took look up when the last frost is, just use google. Also good to see when the first frost is, that way you know when to pull them. |

Okay......
Here's how it works........
In all climates your baselines are first and last frost.
Now, North regions last frost can be April, even May, so, season is usually last frost to finishing time of strain.
You use strains suiting your finishing times. (You could go earlier, later, or a mix of all, and could also take advantage of a lot of strains Northern growers cannot (long flowering sativas,etc,Haze's,etc)
Now for the good part 
Since you are where you are with a frost(last) of February, you can get 2 rounds done.
You can plant March 1st (whatever) for a late April/May Harvest.
Veg time limits the size, so, as with a typical season, things planted April and May have 3 1/2 months veg time....(depending on strain......and it's finishing times....)
Plant in June......60 days veg......little smaller, still large....
Plant in July.........30+/- days veg time....still enough for them to get some size...etc..
So.....
Planting in February/March, you will have minimal veg time, will be smaller......but, can still pull in "spring crops".... |
