Yeah, you should have specified whether UP or part of thumb, there are a couple guys on here from Michigan (last year) Balihai and some others, all got buds no prob, even some Minn boys, Bali grew Purple Power, I believe he was in mid/lower Mich, he harvested on Oct 5/6 or something like that, plant in beg/mid May and reap late Sept early Oct, check the weather and you may be able to pull off late April if there's a nice spring, last year was so crappy, I've got my fingers crossed for this season!!! Just like wine!
