Starting today in NE

I live in New England and it's been extremely warm last week and is going to be warm all this week, so I've assumed it's okay to start growing now. I'm currently germinating a few of my seeds. Will update whenever I can. Anyone else starting now?
 
From seed? Clone? Either way, good luck. Temps for the next week are gunna be like High 60s Low 40s. What happens if the next few weeks dip into freezing, or even snow?

I'd wait til May. Not enough hours in the day yet, they'll go directly into flowering now and not grow. They may do that and start reverting once daylight gets to around 14 hours a day to veg. But they will never reach their potential unless they go straight into veg until fall

I also live in New England, and will be planting for the first time this year. It has been extremely warm, and I was kind of wondering about the same thing as you, but I think that I am going to wait till a couple weeks into April at the earliest to make sure that its not going to throw a final freeze at us. Does it tend to be fine just putting the seeds in the soil, or is there a huge advantage to getting the seeds to at least produce a root before planting?

I'd say you're better off getting a small root before planting first, in my experience it's easier. Also do you think it'd go directly into flowering now? If so I'll probably find a way around that, or make something myself. I'm hoping for the best. I have 15 Northern Lights seeds. I am planting 4 now, if they don't go well I got 11 more, all females to my knowledge, although I'm hoping for one male to pollinate one plant :)

your planting in the outdoors bro, wind, rain, etc..your gonna need more then A root. what if a deer comes along and decides to take a small bite?? it will be see you next season for you. grow a good rootbase prior to planting. 1 month minnimun from sprout.

Yeah, I am going to do that. I've been doing multiple things at a time so I'm not getting all details down, I'm starting inside, but bringing outside as soon as I can. I guess that's a bit more detail then.

it will flower and re veg this time of year
has a while before it will start to flower;-) My seed patch has a bunch of babies poped out to say hi..These guys are just extra shit that got swept off floor and dumped over the compost bank. One year had a plant make a comback that got tossed and still made a qp with 0 care.
