Is timing everything?

Hello everyone, I couldn't find an obvious answer in the forums so I'm asking a question. I'm starting to have a little bit of doubt about my plans here. I have seeds ordered, I'm preparing my garden for the winter vegetables. For the first time I got the OK from wife to add in some MJ plants to the garden. My big question... I live in southern California and the weather pretty much never frosts, always warm pretty much. Am I too late in the year to have a successful grow? What problems might I encounter for growing this late in the year? Would you recommend waiting till next spring? Thanks for your answers guys. Specifically I ordered some purple widow seeds and 3 single seeds that are something dank and feminized.

Wait on them for next spring especially from seed start them in your house then put em out there u wont regret it

They won't be big.....but if you wanna grow....grow'm....

Because of the diminishing sunlight, they will start flowering before they get a chance to get very big.
You could start them inside under 16-20 hours of light for several weeks to beef them out.
Then when you transplant them outdoors, they should start flowering right away.

you can certainly grow a winter crop if you can keep your plants from freezing. if you grow them in pots, you can move them inside when it gets cold - you really don't want them sitting through night after night in the 40's if you can help it. or you could keep them in a small heated greenhouse. the thing to remember about winter growing is that you should lower your expectations - everything happens slower. the weaker winter sun isn't around as much. you could also supplement this light to squeeze some more growth out of them. the plants, if started from seed, they won't flower immediately under winter hours - they must reach sexual maturity first which can take the better part of a couple months before they show pre-flowers. at that point you would need to supplement your light to keep them in veg. but you should absolutely grow this winter if you can!
