Winter outdoor harvest in SoCal, is it possible?

I'm in So cal too. Did an outdoor run 2 years ago, same deal as you, vegged inside and flowered outside. My flower cycle was January 3rd thru about March 3rd, so right in the coldest time for us. I am clos eto the coast though, less than a mile, so I dont have the frost factor ever. does it EVER frost there in the mornings? If you arent too far east, you could easily pull it off as I did with little care as if it were a summer/in season crop.

I'm about 6 miles from the coast. Frost isn't an issue here, just morning dew some days. I can tell my plants don't like our winters, but they don't die. Just grow slowly. Of course the angle of the sun means less energy for 'em too, but ya can still get a harvest. And with a perpetual grow with out mothers, that helps.
Yours certainly look very nice...and tasty.

where you growing them from seed or clone?
right. I’m thinking about popping seed and vegging myb for 3-4 weeks and then popping them in the back yard

You should get at least an oz per plant this way. Winter buds are a little lighter due to the sun not being as strong.
Hi brother, I grow in a beach in the Mexican Pacific (still in Northern Hempisphere), and normally seed in autumn/winter. Why? Because I grow in my balcony and from mid March to Mid August I get no direct sunlight due to the sun's position way above my building. In autumn/winter I get about 7 hours of direct sunlight, considering that, I once harvested a plant that yielded 5 ounces dry grown on soil in a 2 gal pot after keeping her vegging for a bit more than 2 months. In fact, I see no challenges, and I keep them vegging and growing by adding a 3watt led for a few hours when sun goes down to prevent them from flowering too soon. So yeah, go for it, my 2 cents.
