(dunno if this is the place to post this,but sure someone will fill me in)...G'day all I'm a newbie here & a dunce when it comes to growing...but I have a crack :-) Am just past mid century in years & got into trying to grow for personal use 2 seasons back. Had two ok crops,but even to try get germination this year has been fucked here in Sandgroper land The weather has been totally fucked!..mainly under 25c,with a few hot days thrown in...Plus I had old dodgy bag seed stock I've collected from here n there. Anyone else in west oz had troubles?? I grow fully outdoors,using 1/2 decent sized pots(290ml & a couple 430ml),potting mix from bunnings(Baileys or osmacote I think),a seaweed fert or seasol & purple bloom for flowers. I've tried all ways of germination since middle of Sept..dropped into glass of filtered water till popped,paper towels & straight into soil.But as I said the weather has been totally up & down & has only been in the last week that I finally have half doz seeds sprouted,so there is a glimmer of hope of a smoke for 2017...I asked numerous friends for seed donations & was given some thankfully ...May invest in a heatpad etc for next year.!? Here are my hopefuls ..& they have been up a week!...very slow going as the weather is still uncooperative. Anyone know what this little tacker on the leaves is?!? ..put a jewelers loop over ph camera for close up...I'm cheap ) Anyway,just chillin & thought I'd join & contribute here & say G'day whilst waiting for 2016 to roll over. Peace ya all..stay safe & un-busted...END PROHIBITION
