Use the off-season to prepare for your best year yet Smart growers use winter to plan, prep, and set up for the next season. Here's your off-season action plan.
November-December: Post-Harvest
Clean and sanitize — greenhouse, tools, trays, everything. Prevent HLVD and pest carryover. Maintain mother plants — keep your best genetics alive through winter under 18/6 light Review the season — which strains performed? Which had issues? Track yields. Equipment maintenance — repair greenhouse covers, tarps, irrigation
January-February: Planning
Select next season's genetics — browse new strains at our strain directory Order early — popular strains sell out. Reserve your clones for spring Amend soil — add cover crops, compost, and organic amendments Plan your light dep schedule — map out cycles for the year
March-April: Pre-Season
Start vegging — clones or teens indoors or in greenhouse Harden off — gradually acclimate indoor-started plants to outdoor conditions First light dep cycle — start cycle 1 as soon as days are long enough Full timeline: California Growing Calendar | Summer Guide | Fall Harvest Prep
