North America, if you are in a temperate climate like California, you can flip today and have buds inin mew years without much issues outdoor. Disclaimer I have a greenhouse so I grow at Home , ur around and at farm we have cycles all. Year, harvest every week but that is on large scale. At home here I play with obscure genetics and I putty around with stuff that didn’t do well at grow to learn and “investigate “ what can be done etc.
y’all if u can do a small greenhouse of sorts, there is so much to be done.
But the laws being what it is, I can understand why folks do seasonal grows. Heck I hope we have decriminalization soon so that this bs on weed charges go away.
