Start and sex indoors. Where I am you get them out as early as may 14 with no problems of frost or them going into flowering. I dig 25 gallon holes and fill with Pro-Mix BX. One bale does 2 holes. Each hole could potentionally yield 2 lbs. I add fox farm Marine cuisine to the mix and liquid feed weekly with fox farm nutes. Usually finishes late september to late october depending on strain.
My clones start in rooting cubes to keg cups to one gallon bags before they go outside.

Yes I grow under lights.
Yes you can grow in a window sil, BUT you must have enough hours of daylight to keep them from flowering.
Best bet is to invest in some lights. Any shop light will do, I do reccomend something better though. Any specific questions just ask.
hi im bak from holiday now how many hours would i need to stop them from flowering?

Well indoors I have always run 18/6 and then switch to 12/12 for flowering. I don't know the EXACT amount of light it will take to trigger flowering. I wouldn't go less than 16/8.
