if you're serious about yield, and have access to outdoor action, this is the time to start them under the lights, and then put them out in late april(earlier if you trick the light). otherwise, plan on ordering a LOT of seeds!- cause you're definitely not gonna' get a whole lot of weight that quick if you're growing with big buckets and only 2 months from seed ...you want weight? veg' 'em another month or 2, and train the livin' bejezus out of 'em! I've got '09 summer and fall harvests started this last october!
