UPDATE: latest photos from the little jungle i'm growing in the closet for outside! hopefully i'll get them out within 2 months!
haha yeah it's not too bad, i'm at about 37S here in aus so winter's are still pretty harsh. nothing freezes near me (at least not often) but it gets to single digits Celsius so probably a bit cold for these girls, as i've heard overnight frosts can really do them damage. and winter down here tends to linger with sporadic cold days well through spring and into summer.
yeah i'm thinking i'll have to get the soil and holes ready soon. might have to do a few midnight runs as the place i'm planning on doing it isn't very isolated lol would be awkward to be caught walking around with a shovel and bag of soil there in the middle of the day... i'm planning on letting them veg from about late Aug-Mar so should be 8months until harvest at the earliest, really want these guys to get big, the white widow probably won't but the power plant is almost 100% sativa so i've got high hopes for her! but yeah i was going to ask what size holes you'd recommend? the soil where i'm planning on doing it is really nice full of nutes and perfect water retention etc so i'm thinking 10L (5-6gal) holes will be more than sufficient per plant. i did a recent soil mix of about 50L, really nice organic mix with peat moss, though it's fairly expensive to get it here and they only come in 5L bags so i might just use organic soil mix with my perlite/vermiculte/5in1 nutes/dolomite anything else i should chuck in? cheers buddy

awesome, it seems i'm just in time to see the planting. man that is a great looking spot you have there. i bet you will have some big old monsters come harvest. after many years of indoor growing and some balcony fun i started my own guerrilla grow this year and it's been a lot of fun so far. turns out there is a whole other world of cannabis growing out there. gardening in the woods is some how very cool. your local soil looks nice and loose, did you consider making use of it? anyway looking forward to seeing more.
best of luck to ya
ahhh that's brilliant advice mule420! thanks for that, i was actually wondering about it the other day and was thinking of tying clumps of grass to my feet if i really wanted to be bushman stealthy lol but carpet or rug sounds easier and better for sure! peace mate
