I'm up north near Sacramento but I agree with SenorBrown mid may is a good time unless you have warm enough temps and enough light to start a bit earlier. What do you plan on growing?

I'm growing seeds from a buddy, he found them in his herb so I wanna practice outdoor. With them...I currently have a Omg Cheese plant and 707 truth plant in third week of flowering, all indoor and they look hella bomb for my first. Indoor grow also, at least I think so.

I went a different route..
I picked up GDP x Blueberry clone from Harborside for $14 and i just threw it out into the sun in a pot. I have a bed ready for it, i just need to add the soil, so for now the clone is in a pot until i transplant it into its bed. Also i know clones mature quicker than seeds, all this is just experimentation as this is my very first grow of my own.

Currently recieving sunlight from around 9:00 AM to around 6 PM. so 9 hours of sunlight a day as of now. Also, the last predicted frost for my area is March 13, which is in 2 weeks.

My cousin and her family live down there and as you'll be under the marine layer its really not that great a place to grow outdoors also, my cousins man works for a delivery service in the area and is generally pretty knowledgeable about herb so I'd take his word. The humidity is going to kill you and probably mold the fuck out of your smoke if its dense.

Good to still put out in May even if I want 8ft monsters? I was thinking mid April for my 5 strains(Ice, Blackjack, Swiss Cheese, KayaGold, MauiWaui)

So hows the outdoor grow.... Had to move her to 2x CFLs because of the weather. its prettty warm in my room. I learned that my pH should have been checked because now i have a magnesium, calcium, and phosphate deficiency
