Spring Harvest question..

I have read briefly about having a harvest in spring and then again in fall so...

My plan is to start some seeds indoors probably at beginning of January and then around the end of Feb put them into 12/12. At the end of March when we have our last frost I will put them outside to finish with the day time hours of about 11.5 here. Temps ranging from 65 day and low 40's at night. Before I put them out I'll start hardening to the temps so it won't be a shock to them.
I live in the southeast USA and not too sure if it would work properly or just be a waste, the plan would be to harvest around early May.

What I am trying to achieve here is a medium sized harvest (+/- 3-5 lbs) and then have another harvest in the fall of 7-10 lbs. The fall harvest would be based off of different seedlings started indoors hardened off and then placed outdoors at the end of May, I would however let the spring plants continue growing and revegg if healthy enough.

Has anyone done this? Any points, tips, advice?
Thanks in advance!

Bump for friday night peeps....
Anyone do/done this?

Done it! Same location. Dirty south! Haha IV even grown one in the window throughout the winter. I started around Christmas the year before. Took a few cuttings and planted her outside in a finisher soil by a body of water. The yield was excellent. Careful with this plan. I moved some outdoors too late this year and the plants are paused in flowering.

I just read your part about revegging in may. You can if you harvest "innocently". By that, I mean only harvest the buds. So, like, get a razor or tiny sewing scissors and clip off the flowers. I would string a piece of fishing line or similar through the middles of the buds when drying. Main reason I haven't made revegging my thing is the fact that not having much stem is a pain in the ars to dry.

Awesome man! You saw my plan so you see I'm trying to have decent amounts to supply the demand during dry points of the year.
As for putting it out too late, I feel ya on that blows that happen to ya. As for a finisher soil do you mind I ask what you used? High in phosphorus? I'll be trying indicas only in the spring so that the finishing times will be 8-10 weeks longest.

Fermented food wastes. Lots of everything on the board. Npk+ everything. That requires a whole lot of devotion sorta. When I don't do that I use 1:1:1 volumes of "compost: Sandy loam: peat moss" with a microorganism culture, coffee grinds, molasses, bonemeal, and wood ash.

Microorganisms are the trick with organics. The food wastes get buried out in my intended spot and then I wait two weeks and come back with a plant and some peat moss to fluff the composted food. I'll plant it directly into the compost hole.

Ok yeah I have a decent organic soil make up, but in order to maximize yield I want to hit them with everything I can. I'll be going them nutes the whole time and will have them already in flowering nutes by the time they go out.

If you don't mind me asking what kind of yields were you looking at?
