Jan too late in melb?

Hey all, I'm thinking about starting a small grow like 2-3 plants outdoors in Melbourne, is it too late to be thinking about this? Indoors is not really a option due to the whole set up and having parents come visit etc

Yea man January is pretty late, you want to be planting your seeds around cup day (early Sep). I'd be getting ready for next years grow if I were you, start researching and getting you're knowledge up so when its time, you're growing some dank

It's a bit late to be using the sun as a light source to vege your plants but if you vege them indoors under some fluros for a while you could still flower them outdoors this year.

 

It's not going to be a huge crop but it's do-able...

Yeah sweet I might just wait till later in the year which will give me plenty of time to get some quality seeds, I wish I could start growing indoors again like I used too when living with mates, now living with my missus I don't think she will let it slide , shame really

G'day.

Starting in January may be leaving things a little late, I start mine around Melbourne Cup Day and leave them in until around Anzac Day, so roughly 5 months. I am not that far from the big smoke. Last year (2010) was my first outdoor grow in Victoria and I may have been able to let them go longer than I did, but they were taller than a 2 meter fence and the smell was very noticable. Having neighbours around being able to see and smell my 5 monsters made up my mind to pull them. All my growing is organic, just using lots of compost, manure (well rotted chook), blood and bone, fish and seaweed emulsions. I found a West Australian rose flowering, spray fertlizer, called Growth Technologies in Bunnings that really made 'em go mental. Works well on veges, too. So cobber, lots a luck.

Cheers.
