you could certainly sprout your seeds and then put them in the window which will get you a little ahead of frost but it's ultimately the light which might cause many strains to not develop substantially enough to be worthwhile. It's more of a close call that way. they're really small in the first few weeks even under a small fluorescent light like a shop light with two 40 watt bulbs or get CFLs if you can and start 4 plants fr about 3 weeks before frost and you will be in good shape. Just use the basement or pick a closet.

yea-cardboard box sounds reasonable-i have my clones in a cardboard box(with only 2 15watter cfls) and other clones just sit in the window sill.
anyway man-where i live i have almost the same weather as you but there are no strain that you can grow all year round outdoors in there man.

good luck.

no prob man.when chooching cfls, dont go below 23 watters, cas they will give you lower results-in my ghetto as clone box i got two 15 watter=30 watters, clones dont need much light, but with 2 15 watters i will not go under 23 watt.It is still doable, but not recommended.


peace bro....
