Calling all New Yorker’s I guess! 
It’s more than the weather, it’s the length of the days. Once you get down to 14 hours or so they want to go into flower. Around May 25th we hit 15 hours, so yeah I’ll be keeping an eye on the weather that last week.

4/20 start em, you will have almost 14 hrs of light. Good luck!
This is my first outdoor grow and im currently in the middle of my first ever grow indoors right now. Im planning on starting sprouts for outdoors the first week of May to kick out of the house Memorial day weekend.

They sent helicopters last year. 
Not kidding.
Now Ive got a license to grow it, just bought $500 in fencing today, couple of trail cameras, it’s not visible to the public, and I’ll be planting some basil for odor control.

We have a thing here in N AZ, I was told by an old time farmer. When the mesquite trees leaf out, the danger of frost is past. My last ten years of gardening its never steered me wrong. In fact the times I tried to cheat and get an early start, ignoring his advice I was sorry.

Here we keep things susceptible to frost inside until Mother’s Day.

Hi Kellydans,
I got ahead of myself, last night it got below freezing, but my girls were zipped up in their tent, with a heavy tarp over the top, a small light ran all night. They were a little upset this morning but by afternoon they had bounced back. This is a pic from a few days ago. Still won’t be able to put them out full time til probably mid may.

Yeah plants look good. mid may has always been my outside target date. Cannabis is tougher than you think. Frost will kill young plants but I’ve have left them late October an catch a early frost with no problem. Looks like the guard dog is doing it’s job.
