Is June too late to start outside?

[Backpacker420]

So the way things are going, doesn't look like I'll be ready to actually germinate my seeds until around May 19 or so. So let's say I have them germinated and ready to plant in the ground, is June too late to start?

I really want to grow something this summer, and this will be my first time so regardless if I will have to end early, I just wanna grow something!!:p

PS I live in the New York area. The last frost is approx. May 14...

deping on you strain i think you could get a harvest in. the plants wont be as big as they would if you started earlier though.

Yep- you'll do fine.

I'd rather do 12 three-footers that I put out August 10th than 1 eight-footer that went out in May. Less chance of folks seeing something, less exposure.

What if you started now, took cuttings of all of them in three-four weeks, flowered the cuttings to determine the donor sex( two weeks), removed male donors, pushed the moms hard for three weeks, rooted cuts and vegged em under a 400 halide @ 24/0? You could put out one-footers Aug 1stish that'd start flowering almost immediately, finish up two-three feet... and you don't have to go back to pull males...

Keep a small cut of each donor to watch for ripeness, and a pretty good idea of what's where- when the cuttings good, all of the other cuttings from the same plant will be within a few days ahead/behind- you don't have to go out and check.

You can hide three foot plants anywhere-

and you've limited your exposure to the bare minimum.

Just sayin'.

rhizome, that sounds lovely but I haven't moved in to my new pad yet, so that's why I can't start until the end of May...
