No special equipment needed.
There are plenty of northern growers, it is possible to do this but you may need to supply extra light.
California is not humid, they grow plumeria like crazy Smiling .

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.

Certainly less work, less time, and you'll get blooming more quickly.
