if ya planning on growing outdoor the season has allready started it started a few weeks ago

This may be so but being on the east coast you haven't missed shit, all this cloudy weather put daylight hours below 12 and made both mine and quite a few other growers plants start flowering. :( Still not too worry you still have till march to get your stuff vegged which is more than adequate to get at least a few 6 footers.

Also seed boutique and dope seeds are both quite good but at the moment the deal G.O.D. mentions is the best.

Your clones have rooted? I'd wait until they had a large root ball protruding from the rock wool (1-2 weeks depending on strain) then start nutes at 1/4 strength

ive heard a couple people mention ppm meters are they necessary? i only use rainwater and use a ph meter will this be okay or will my plants flourish with an accurate ppm reading??

If you are doing hydro it is absolutely nessecary, a PH and TDS meter will cost you ~$55 shipped from discount hydro on ebay and represents the best money you could possible spend if you even wish to attempt to grow hydroponically, if you are using a soil medium you can get away without one but it's always nice to ph your nutes, but soil can be easily stabilised with lime.

Is it still cloudy with rain forecast? if not you'll be right to put them outside the rain has caused daylight hours to drop to 12 around here and I have to reveg some flowering plants, plants generally begin to flower in march around that area so you've got ~5 months of veg left.

You might find this link useful ... LINK ... you can find the sunrise/sunset/day length for every day of the year for different places.

Great for planning the outdoor growing season.
The BOM one is more comprehensive and does it based off your closest metering station, just get a little tired when the same questions are asked every few pages.

Anyways, G.O.D. I ordered some seeds due to your discount code, could you enlighten me on how long they typically take to get to you in brissy? I get anxious because most of my orders take 3 days and any taking longer than that I generally assume seized and thus far have not been wrong. I did however pay for the expensive postage so redelivery is guaranteed supposedly.

I wonder do customs pursue you more thoroughly if you send seeds that are concealed, my last nirvana (through seed boutique) pack got seized and they have a little marijuana leaf on their baggy and nothing eventuated from that.

I didn't realise the BOM site had the data, but if I had thought about it I should have realised they would. I'm always checking the BOM site for the weather, especially to find a break in the rain :-)

My last two orders took about a week each time - hopefully my next batch will arrive tomorrow.

I haven't had the misfortune to have any seized (that I know about) although some seeds from a different company (based in the Netherlands) failed to arrive and they basically said "suck shit" when I asked. I paid 16 Euros for postage too and got zip.
With Seedsman I pay for the expensive postage (the removal of the VAT from the price usually covers postage nicely) and the seeds come wrapped in a T-shirt, not sure whether you feel like wearing a T-shirt advertising a seed company, but I wear them :-)

Curious about that what size do they generally come in, I'm a weightlifter so anything smaller than a 3xl is not going to fit, good thing I have plenty of stoner mates to flog it too :)

So far I received two shirts, both large.
I'm not a big guy and they fit me perfectly.

u can by meters with built it ppm/tds/ec meters but you only really want the EC meters. its nice to know what strength your feeding your plants and if there drinking water or just eating visa versa. but u could allways just go by the label on your nutes but i think its a must.
