thanks for the replies guys,

the drooping leaves, do you think this is heat or over/under watered?

cheers

Hey mate i am growing in similar conditions to you at the moment. I start my seedlings indoor under cfl and start putting them outside in dappled sunlight for a few hours at a time after they are a couple of weeks old. Our intense sun is a little much for young seedlings in my opinion. Those temps should be ok for older plants as I have plants doing well in the same environment, for young seedlings i would put them indoor under 10c of a night (if possible ). I would start the new seeds indoor under light if possible and introduce them to the sun gradually. @912GreenSkell has written the best guides on the net about growing outdoor, see if you can find them and give them a good read (i would post a link but I'm a retard with technology)

hey mate, thanks for the reply. unfortunately indoor isnt an option. With the next ones would you leave then entirely in the shade for the first few weeks? im in the centre so im sure you know what temps are about to do! could you give me any advice on watering, how often etc. thanks!

I would put them where they only get the morning and evening sun for the first few weeks also shade cloth will help if you can use it. If you are going to use pots i would recommend at least 7 gallon to avoid drying out of the roots, I water my plants daily once they are a couple of weeks old. Be careful not to over water for the first few weeks, i usually water when dry to the second knuckle of my finger. If using poting mix try to get one without the slow release fertilizer i also add about 20%perlite . What nutrients do you plan to use? I use biobizz at a quarter strengh to start. Let me know if I can help any further with potting mix nutes etc as a lot of stuff over here is hard to get. Also starting a grow journal would be very beneficial as there are a lot of great people here to point you in the right direction. Good luck and happy growing!!!
