welcome to the forum. well i grow about 2 hours from you so what you need to do is get some killer seeds and start growing at the end of april. make sure your planting somewhere that NOONE else goes and dont tell ANYONE. those are the first few steps. they will be ready to harvest around october.

well i'm not an outdoor grower but i would say that northern illinois' grow season is probably shorter than average. so early may to late sept. these are just guesses.

I would look for through some grow journals. Most people start mid april to early may. Myself ... I start late may. I figured the sun is really starting to beat down at that time in FL. Then I am planning on harvesting within the next month. Long season this year =/.

I'm in IL as well. Only 30 miles west of Chicago and I grew outdoors this year. I put my plants outdoors in late April and finally cut her down Oct. 23rd.
Towards the end, the rain was becoming a problem as I started to get bud rot, but if you can cover up your plants towards the end of the growing season, then you should be fine. During the summer, the rain was welcomed as it's the best source of food for any plant. |
