Hi, i just got my hands on some awesome auto seeds from canuk seeds, and was wondering if i could pull off growing outdoors in the southern california winter where it is very mild and harvesting dec-jan before the rain kicks in for a couple weeks. kinda on a time crunch on whether or not to start germinating. I live literally 45 min from TJ so i am south as south gets in cali lol. winters are perfect weather usually minus a couple weeks of rain and nothing below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes you can as autos don't need any particular light cycle. As long as things don't get too cold and all the other normal stuff is kept in check. I'd go for a strain that is hardy and can take colder temps to be on the safe side if you can.
