[IAMTHEWALRUS]

hi iam, i had 6 seedlings pop up after i harvested the plants , around this time a year ? , they put on 3 maybe 4 sets of leaves then just sat there till spring about 6 cm high pmslall winta , didnt even show sex , in sydny , unger green mesh , sun most the day just not anoth in it to help em grow , seedlings were a lil stalky in the stem hehe , if you can bring em in at night an give en 4/5 hours extra light they will go much better ( atleast they'll grow ) i did some last winta by bringing em in at night ,

an i mainly just put em ontop the tv useing house globe , they did all rite , i see if i can find the grow n ill pm the link to it , they were buding , till they went hermie , cya hope gives ya a idea anyway , diff srains will act diff ,

I couldn't resist and trimmed a bud off one plant that is almost done, flowered very slowly due to the time of year. Two cones later and I opened my eyes and found I was lying on the veranda! I used manutec bloom booster and molasses through the flowering. The plants I started in April are still growing and haven't begun to flower. Everything is in slow motion until it warms up again. Needless to say I am very happy with the late harvest.

So would it be right to say that if choosing a strain for a south east Qld coastal winter crop, autos would be the first rule of thumb?? Anyone?

In response to your question, my thinking would be either autos or start veg for as long as possible under MH then put it outside to flower.

Hello all,

 

I was wondering If you kind folks could help me out. It's my first proper grow. I've been doing a lot of research but I'm still unsure to when I should be planting outdoors. I live in the Pinjarra area & It's still a little cold here at nights. Low 10's. Is this to cold for the plants? I have 3 strains that I have purchased. Big bang, Northen Lights from Vision seeds, & Black Jack. All feminized. Starting my seeds off inside is not an option.

 

So, should I wait, or get in early?

 

Thanks.

if they are ordinary seeds(not autos)then now is the time its actually a little late but still fine..if they are autos i would wait till it warms up more..

Thanks.

 

No, they are not autos. All of them are feminized. Should I be worried about rain during their early stage of growth? It's been raining here just about every week lately.

Sooo a good time for outdoor autos in SE QLD would be????

 

That's the problem with grow books, many focus on indoors, hydro, and other countries

Kazz I Think we have past the post of 'cool' nights here and being close to the sea... start your auto seeds now!

 

also, the cannaversary tab at top of this page... heaps of Australian-specific info on growing cannabis.

 

Luck!
