Im telling you start some seeds now, if nothing more than for an experiment. They will produce as much, maybe more, if u give them what they need, and youll ask why you wasted all that extra time with an early start. Early starts are beneficial, but if at any point you plant is rootbound, or has to reveg time is wasted, because the plants not growing at its normal efficient growth rate. Ive seen rootbound plants virtually stop growth, not completely but almost, so to the folks with plants in 1gal pots inside for 3 months, well 2 of those are essentially wasted ( my experience is 1 gal fill out in about a month) if your expectations are a pound or under per plant, its most certainly acheivable if u start NOW
