How Far North?

Have a question for all outdoor growers on the west coast. Since I live in L.A weather isn't usually a factor for me growing outside year round(when I have the space). But I'm curious cause I'm thinking of leaving L.A and I wanna know how far north can you get before it will start getting too cold to grow(outdoors)? And I'm talking mainly coastal cities cause I know the ocean keeps it from getting too cold, until u get far enough north that is.

hell they grow in Canada...

IMO... the gold zone is cen valley up to lower OR.

(or has too mush effing rain to make it my choice as does wa..)

have family both areas neither grow or use it but the weather esp cen valley is great I start in late jan with clones inside window sill and then about early feb they go outside... I did 2-18-12 last year start date and will have some ready (mine are 5" + ) have a 3 foot carm which is due within 3 weeks

last year was about 3-10-11 start pulled all by 11-11-11
valley here is pretty decent with the law no issues and were able for 6-/6 grow

it's more conservative in op.. but that kinda suited me.. as I got older.

however... the heat.. and this is my rant for on weather..
the fucking heat here.. is bad... as is the electric whore co prices. a.c is a must.

navy brat myself lived in or been thru 38 of the 50 + 2-.3 other continents I have seen all kinds of heat.. ARK heat Puerto Rico heat (loved that effing place) CO cold CT cold VT COLD MAINE COLD etc etc.. I hate the heat... not just with a passion.. but with gallons of sweat... ugh... we also only have 3 seasons here which is odd..

HEAT from May-NOV
FOG from NOV-JAN
feb-march= lovely

I wouldn't go much farther north than Redding or Weed (no pun intended, there really is a town by that name).
Even Redding occasionally gets snow in the winter, and Weed gets snow every year.
You could probably go as far up as Sacramento, or Citrus Heights. They easily get into the 100 plus range with dry heat during the summer, but mild sometimes excessively rainy winters in the 60's.
Good luck.

I used to live in the east bay and commute to Oregon.
More questions pm me.

LOL.. we went thru it last year on the way to WA got several photos of the signs... it really is beautiful there tho

Google USDA growing zone map. You can probably finish all strains in growing zones 4 and higher. After that, your choices may be limited to more indica-doms and autos.

Yeah I only ask cause I have family over on Victoria Island up in B.C. If u have a greenhouse up there I bet that would make a difference just grow out ur plant and take like 20 or so clones, root em then would have rooted clones ready to plant for outdoor season(maybe). Gotta see how my cousin does it up there, it will be fun to see if my 18yr old cousin can teach me anything, maybe I'll try my 1st gorilla grow up there off my Unc's property. But yeah I see why ur sayin Indica-dom hybrids are good cause they will finish faster and I think indicas are more cold resistant.
