I'm not an outdoor expert, so I asked my friend, that IS an expert ... he just shrugged, said "plant in the Spring after the last chance of frost, when the ground warms up a bit, and harvest before the Fall's first hard frost, or the trichomes are ready, whichever comes first ... you're about the same latitude and elevation as I am, here in northern CA, I suspect, so shouldn't be a problem ... ask someone when they put out their tomatoes, you should be right on the money ... indicas tend to come from harsher climates than sativas, but I would suspect you can do either, at will ... good growing ! ... :jointsmile:
