South Australian Outdoor (Spring Baby, Summer Mumma)

Hi all, Brand new to outdoor growing, 2 year experience indoor.
Just transplanted 5 day old baby from a shade house to the outdoor, with a net en closer surrounding the plant from my two dogs and any other unwanted animal.

As a growing medium ive selected Brunnings Potting Mix, using no nutes for the first 2 weeks. From there ill be using Miracle Grow plant food

This plants only job is to be a successful mother, and at the end of her life a few oz plant (not looking for A+ bud just a healthy plant i can clone)

Strain is unknown but i will be germinating a feminized chemdog tonight to go into my little seedling bay. ( Ordered from Green House Seed Co through Planetskunk, awesome postage but wow, 3 out of 4 haven't germinated and 1 started off with a slimy root and now after sterilized cleaning and re planting is growing extremely slowly, weather this be because germination was done in a incubator and rock wall medium.


Please post advice or reviews on my little outdoor grow op, and i will be updating on a weekly basis.

Cheers AussieSteve

good luck mate

DAY 1

Thanks bud

if i were you i would make the top pf the cage diamiter bigger then the bottom so it flares out to ward the top, but that look like hefty wire in that cage

also i date a kiwi NZ for ever

whats the season in Austrailia right now

i plan to grow the plant half way up the center poles then LST, the season at the moment is Spring, 2 days into spring

it gonna be a producer with your sun

im just hoping the hours of direct sunlight is enough for nice bud growth aswell as good plant development i think i get from 9-4 of direct light, ill be running some tests tomorrow on light patterns, when i flower im simply going to use a tarp at 7pm n lift it at 7am

Just placed pot on a 24 ltr bucket to get more of a chance at sunlight, not the best place to plant but the most safest, wind is picking up alot today which i hope not to see later in spring, still she looks healthy and has now got a stick to ensure she doesnt get owned by the windy nights.

Will update pics in a few days, not much point showing day by day prog

Bro that plant will start flowering in 4 weeks at about one foot(it will reveg after 2 months or so but the plant wont have same energy to flower twice). Next time wait till days are long enough not to trigger flowering, Oct 15 +.

easily out of one by and tarp you could biuld a dark tent but then moisture and stale air and ciculation would be a problem

yeah a little disappointed with the area ive chosen, due to the amount of light i get per day it will start to flower asap. forgetting outdoor for this moment in time. No other updates will be given

its amount of dark after that triggers flower, 12 hrs to be exact will be when it flips itself, the summer solstice . . . .?

how many hours of light do you have in Australia right now
