Growing Seasons Sydney, Australia

[sulo]

Ok iv searched and havnt been able to find anything about growing seasons for outdoor cultivation, probably cause im a bit of a newbie and dont know where to look. I from Sydney, NSW and was just wondering if anyone could help me out on the seasons that are best for growing. When should I start germanating the seed and planting them outside?

Peace.

You could probably start germinating now inside under a light, then throw em out at the start of Spring.

Yup, germinate, throw em in some small pots with seedling potting mix, then plant out in spring.

Hectik man thanks for the help. We grew back about a year and abit ago and it was a mad fluke we planted two and one of them just went real well and we didnt even touch it the other died. I had no clue what to do and as a result this year failed so trying to learn some tricks of the trade to produce some qaulity crops so I dont have to rely on dealers for shit/expensive buds.

Hi, I got a related question.

Would I be correct in saying that we are pretty much sweet to start growing any time from now in australia? This is because the hours of the day are only increasing, meaning a longer vegetative stage, meaning bigger plants. I am planning on starting a few plants in a greenhouse at my grow spot until they reach a reasonable size, then I would plant them in to the ground. Also, do you guys know what true direction the sun will be rising and setting in the summer months compared to the winter months? I am looking for a grow site but don't want to end up in the wrong direction of sunlight. I understand that sun rises in the east, but iI know that it isnt true east and changes throughout the year.

cheers

Just gotta watch cold winds and frosts, otherwise they should be good. Won't finish them up much earlier though.

 

Grow em indoors under a CFL or flouro batten (aquarium light etc) then throw them outside and let er rip.

I am choosing not to start under lights... i tried it before but failed. Also, starting them in the bush means that i will not have to carry the plants out. A greenhouse to use during seedling stage should be satisfactory to harvest some good plants shouldn't it?

They'd be fine in a greenhouse.

Wicked. Man the amount of times I have given it a go each season only to fuck it up... this is the year!!
