I live in MD and Ive just finished germinating some seeds. The season up here is over by mid-late Nov. I still have enough time to veg. for aboug 5-6 weeks and they'll go right into flowering. Plants will be very small but I know Ill get something at least. The only thing with starting thi slate is that there is absolutely no room for mistakes. Any slight mistakes and you'll be lucky if you get any at all this late in the game.
