Well yeah bud grows best in the 60's and low to mid 70's and the lower it goes the slower the growth, but it does not seize growth unless its like 30 degrees out and even then i have had plants survive that.If you get frost where you live then they propably wont make it, but if your in OC/LA you should have no problems with winter crops.. i know cause im here

Yes it does.... have you ever been or seen some won get sunburn during cloudy sky's i have
It's just that we got the newbies posting false information so i got to school them."Clouds play a big role in the amount of UV radiation reaching the ground. On a cloudy day, depending on the shape and thickness of the clouds, they can absorb and reflect 35-85% of the suns radiant energy, and along with the other effects prevent all but a negligible amount of radiation from reaching the ground. Many reptiles seek the security of their burrows or hiding places during rain, stormy and overcast conditions

gonna jump on here. I am doing a grow in the 808 area and we are only getting about 9hrs. of good sun so I bring my 3 little ones in to sit under lights for 2 hours. Using CFL's also. So far they are doing pretty good thought I think they are starting to do a streach. Haven't started and ferts. yet. trying some hawaiian krush. hpoe and a prayer that they can hold-out afew more weeks when the sun is out alittle longer.
tokes is right, sun's uv goes through clouds. you probably won't get as good of a batch as planting them april-july. i just planted my batch outside and it's slowly growing. the only thing is it's raining a lot in north cali and it's getting way too cold. try to insulate your plants if possible.
