I grow year round. I've advanced some of my micros by doing that. I do find it is as
simple or complicated as outdoor climates. We all have different 'indoor' environments.
Once our leaves fall soon, I have a deep shelf that gets great sun...so I will keep my
micros in tall 4 inch pots for some time, (started 6 weeks ago). Under simple grow lights
T-5 and some LED's and easy to shift around. They get some good sun when we have it.
I also grow macro-greens and a few dozen dwarf sunflowers year round so I do pay attention 24/7. (a dollars worth of sunflower seed keeps a nice amount of fresh flowers
all winter in every room)...I start a round of seed every two weeks. A tray of 36.
Winter growing can be slow but I don't fret some losses. I'll have some very healthy
plants and some fruit but any early grows will see some outdoor warm early weather in
February giving fruit way ahead of any 'traditional' seed starting for my region/climate.
I learned my winter growing from pot grower forums. Experimenting and keeping any
gnats/fungus from humidity/white flies...watering with mosquito dunk water...
