yeah crazyhazey is right, find out more on the climate. I live in the southernmost part of California, the eastern arid desert side, and i can grow all year long, that is as long as i water my plants at least every other night in the summer. I start planting from August to late November, to have a harvest all winter long(thats my winter batch). come late winter early spring February-May i start planting again, so my buds will be done by early October late November(that is my fall batch), that all depends on the strain. you might not have it like me. i struggle in the summer, but have it easy in the winter. like crazyhazey said find out more on the climate. California is a long state, that has a diverse geography. i hope this somewhat helps you.
