i know ppl say like may, but in tropical environments (ie. Hawaii) couldnt u plant in summer and still get like 3 months of veg. followed by 2 months of flowering because there is no cold snap?
this is only part true i put out 3 foot tall plants they have already been thru 2 frosts all that happen were some of the leaves got burnt. i will tell you these are not young plants. and they were not from seed. they were grown for a long time inside then harden off while it was still cold.
good point i think its a try and learn process, vegging for 3 months should make them more resistant but then agian they will have been exposed to hot weather only!! so experiment
