Melic Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi there !What a nice forum you got !! Congratulations !! I'm new in Australia and I leave in Oakey (2.5 hours west from Brisbane). I was wondering if it is possible to have a successful outdoor crop if I germinate now and the plants will be under full sun (no shade) all day long.I'm an experimented grower but not familiar at all with Australian conditions...so any help/tip will be much appreciated. Btw I heard some people around this ares harvest ever three months is this possible ? Anyone keen to explain how it works ? Many thanks in advance !

Sir PsychoHashy Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hey Melic, welcome to OS. Might be worth being a bit more cautious with stuff like location details on a forum like this, but it's up to you. Starting now they will grow for a short veg period before going into flower. I've done it before and ended up with a 70-80cm plant with medium sized branches and fully developed buds, so it's not a problem except for smaller plant and potentially later than normal harvest time, but up in QLD you may be safe from frosts for that long anyway. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Bootlace Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Ive done with some success south western australia, MUCH colder, you might not get bucket loads, but its still fun and youll get something ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matanuska Thunder Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I can harvest every 3 months when growing indoors no chance I could get 3 grows in a year outdoors - humidity is the major problem out on 'the downs'/brissy mould is an issue too you could start growing now- plants will be small - but something is better than nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom_Downunder Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Iv just planted a flowering clone into the ground. I was going to grow from seed, but im too impatient! Shes about 5 /6 nodes high now. Approximately 30cm. I'm interested to see how much she produces. Ill keep you updated.

Indycar Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Queenslander here, from my experience I'd say early December to grow something from seed at the very latest. That said, if you were prepared to give them full Sun all day and brought them in at night once the night temps drop below 20c while in they're in the vegetative state (leave them out once you want them to bud in a frost-free area) , you might get away with it. But if you intend to leave them outside permanently, early December is about the cut-off point from my experience. From Rockhampton down to the border to the South, that is.

Melic Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi all !!! Many thanks for your answers and tips.As I do not have any other option I will try my first outdoors down under and see what happens. I will keep on eye on the thermometer and if the temperatures drop below 20 I will kept them inside at night time. Any other tip or past experience growing around this time of the year in this area is more than welcome! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pom_Downunder Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Please keep us updated with pics? I would keep her in a pot and bring her in at night for the veg stage to prevent her from going into flower straight away. Alternatively you could put a light on her outside to make up a total of more than 12hrs of light per day. Good luck and happy growing!
