yeah I'm pretty old school about the way I do things timbo,glad I could help and yes no need for perlite,some seeds I raise in seedling trays and some I sow straight into the ground/pots but I always find that seeds sowed straight into there finally grow area have a head start on seedlings raised in trays as the seedlings go through a bit of growth stunt for about 2to3weeks after transplanting,I have no set time as to when you should start planting but usually start planting around the second week into spring or when ever you can touch the soil/ground outside and feel that it is warm to the touch,that's when I start planting for an outdoors grow,also I don't use any seasol once my plants start to flower only in the vegetation stage while the main growth is happening once they to flower I will not spray or feed anything through flowering till harvest,anyways that's how I do it but of course there are many ways to skin a cat,but I like the organic approach as I'm a real believer that you are what you eat/smoke,oh yeah and can't wait to see some pics when you get started, glad you saved that pic to because sometimes having a visual is a lot better than trying to imagine it in your head,not doubt you have more questions as time go on and the beauty of OSA,makes growing a hole lot easier when there's a support network to guide you through things,I love oz stoners feels like home cheers buddy

Thanks again Green Queen. Yes I've been watching your winter outdoor grow experiment post. Looking forward to seeing those pics too :-). Warm to the touch. Ok. I will remember that. Visual was perfect. I couldn't see the poultry blend on the Bunnings website so hopefully my local will have it come time towards spring. Cheap as chips!! Thanks for the lamens newbie description.

 

Cheers. Timbo.

Easy question. Where do you buy your seeds. Domestic/Yantra or overseas?

Seedman .. I just used them ... quick, fresh, in breeders packs .. And they Guarantee delivery when you chose stealth . UK based.  https://www.seedsman.com/en/

And Southern Star seeds Australian local post no customs Regular seed only no feminised.  https://www.southernstarseeds.net/

Yantra... Limited stock at the moment and a few site issues .. Nimbin NSW local post 

Just remember weed grows.

You dont need PH pens or Nutrient Meters no ph up or down, no fancy Nutrients or Medium for you first grows.. Maybe a cheap moisture probe so you dont over water.

And You can add a few centimetres of seed raising mix on top of the soil mix if you want and start them in the pots . Transferring seedlings can damage them easy if you dont know what your doing.. Start them in the pots your growing in to begin with.. Like I advised before clear plastic over the top and turn the big pots into mini green houses unti your seedling up and going.. 

Bunning has a Vegie and Herb potting mix with all the good stuff mixed in ready to go , or use the mix advised above .

And get a few garden hand tools , little spade ,watering Can and some stakes ,Garden twine ..

AND ENJOY.. Good luck

Everything laid out for you timbo like a book,i'm pretty new to all this as well and like you i find it real easy to get high just on the growing side,it really gets the old dopamine receptors pinging. I also have just joined the herbal revolution and can't get enough esp from the guys on this site. Just wondering why no one has mentioned autos,much easier to grow and you don't have to worry bout light cycles  as they will flower when ready. Just germed 12 white widow from seedsman and every single one popped. Also very easy strain to grow. Not trying to act like i know more than these guys cause def don't,just trying to help another newbie brother take a load off. Good luck to you timbo

Sorry to inform you Bob ,but autos are finicky bastards ,they usually take longer than stated time, and

Not really the best to start with .

 

Some strains will take longer than a photoperiod and use more power.and quite often produce less.

 

But each to his own .

As Serrated said.. Not for an unexperience gardener let alone a first canna grow.. Better with Photo period Feminised to start. Auto is and experiance growers plant ,you cant afford any set backs or they stunt and produce nothing..
