When is the best time to start growing in los angeles?

I want to buy a pack of seeds for my first time grow and set everything up to do it as right as possible. When is the optimal time to plant seeds? Is it March (12 hours)? Or is anytime of the season good?
Also can someone give some tips on the stuff I should use?

I live in the tropics where even at the solstice we only get about 13 hours of sunlight, but since it doesn't freeze you can grow year round as long as you veg indoors.

Set up a light with a timer to come on for an hour during the night during veg and you can start them whenever you want. Really depends on how big you want them before they begin to flower, which will be about 4-6 weeks after the start of summer using natural light only.

If you are doing a strictly outdoor grow you don't have to worry about hours of light since you won't be moving them out into a new environment. Just watch out for a late frost and give them enough time to get to a good size for you before flowering. Mid April to mid May should be fine where you are.
