Hey Guys + Suggestions

hey guys glad i registered, have just purchased my brand new bong with my friend, excited to get it and was thinking about getting into a very small outdoor grow for personal use.

i'm from Queensland, Australia where our summers are pretty much from October - March and winters from May - August. i know this has almost definitely been answered in other threads but I was just looking for some general advice on outdoor growing in my climate, what time of year, what is the best soil, how often should I water, etc.

I have two spots I was thinking of setting up, one very secluded in a cool spot, under a canopy pretty much with streaks of light coming in, and one more open but in a very light forest, very lit up almost all day. I assumed (probably incorrectly so please inform me if i'm wrong) that I could grab some small black plastic pots and recommended fertilizer from the local hardware and go from there.

Any information / suggestions would be helpful at this time, thanks guys !

thanks for the advice man really appreciated, I really have no idea and just need to ask alot of questions to be honest. yeah from what i've read perlite sounds reliable, can i just mix that with organic soil and i should be alright?

ah so planting in spring will mean waiting another year or so ? yeah the second spot i'm thinking of gets a good baking all day long from good sunshine, should be perfect
