Uptown59, they've expressed plans to start seedlings at Brantford indoor facility, then plant out in June. The contingency plan, should the HC licence come through late, seems to be to plant a faster growing cultivar (e.g., autoflowers) as late as summer (my intepretation of a comment during the co-CEO AMA a while back). I also assume that this is why they've said they wont announce cultivars until they receive a HC licence. In the case where it's received in spring, based on my own experience I suspect they'll need at least ~4 weeks indoors before the stems harden up enough to transplant (there's a stage a ~2 weeks where I've had them get top-heavy and flop over under their own weight, requring stakes to keep upright - I cant imagine they'd transplant then...imagine if there was pelting rain afterwards). So, working backwards from their expresses transplant time of June, the latest ideal time to be sowing seeds i doors would seem to be mid-to-late April (i.e., ~1 month from now). Because there's such a backlog of HC licences pending (something like 400 applications in the process), I'd tend to think that - even if HC gives outdoor priority - they'll probably wait until last possible momment to issue a licence to avoid upsetting so many other applicants. That's pure speculation, of course...but I imagine things get a little political at that level
