Yes, hemp can be grown in the winter. It has been tested in Southern Russia to see how cold hemp can get and still have a successful crop. The plants did not show any difference in yield vs. fall cultivation. The only catch is that it is a different strain of hemp. You cannot have the same seed that grows in California grow in Siberia. There are strains of hemp that grow better in colder climates.

Yes, hemp can be grown in the winter; in fact, hemp can be cultivated all year round. Hemp, however, produces better in the warmer months and is usually harvested in October. Hemp grows best in a mild climate, with a humid atmosphere and about 28 inches of rain per year. For seed germination, good soil moisture is required for the best results.

Naturally, hemp may be called and cultivated as winter-crop, according to former trials. In central and southern Russia, seeds strewed in autumn-winter in distended or in semi-germinated states are plants which represented exclusively well in terms of height, yield, resistance to pests, and droughts happening next spring and summer.

Mature hemp plants tolerate frosts, but low temps kill new seedlings. Even moderate freezes damage the leaves and could kill some of the less hardy plants. Usually is planted in the spring, giving it the 3 or 4 months it needs to mature before the frost sets in.

Most likely, no. While mature hemp plants can sustain colds down to 29F, seedlings and smaller plants cannot go to this temperature and will die before maturity. Mature hemp plants below this temp will sustain damage and potentially die when below 29F or exposed to temperatures for an extended period of time.
