This is way too early, you can expect longer internode spacing, as well as stunted growth from the cold daily temps. a plant germinated in late may early June will end the season larger than almost any plant put out earlier. this is from my observations over the years only and doesn't take into account plants grown indoors for an extended period of time before being placed out doors, or plants in different size pots and nutes, ect...

hahaha i live in the north shore area, wont say the town but will tell you it borders lake county and is on the lake.....and its WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to cold to be growing outdoors, not to mention the OUTDOOR growing here sucks balls and is way to short, like the aforementioned posts, if you plant now, your plants are gonna suffer, its too cold during the day and WAAAAYYYY to cold at night still. you might want to start your plants now inside and then move them outdoors in a month or soo....o by the way you do realize that we here in Northern Illionois are gonna have chicadas here SOON....that alone would make me wait or start them outdoors.

Illinois has a proper growing season with very good soil. The growing season 160 days with frost in early Oct. You can grow 14 ft Sativas in central wisconsin and thats farther north.
