In the higher latitudes, it's better to wait 'till later in the year to put plants out. You'll actually get a faster start by putting the plants out end of May beginning of June than trying to get them in right after the last frost. Not only will they shoot up and outveg plants put in earlier, but plants put in later will actually flower earlier. This is because they 'see' nothing but decreasing daylengths when put out later, so they 'plan' for a shorter season. ("Growing Marijuana in New England and other cold climates" by Peter Oakum)

agreed but it good really good and very interesting concept i may plant on the longest day of the year her for me or the week before and try out that theory because it seems realistic and also it wont get runted due to the cooler weather start prob bring my clones outside throughout May durring the day so i can condition them and then bring them in under my veg light at night
