Im the same lol I even have a storage of the best seeds from the old days ha ha fuck knows if they would still germinate but im guessing some might

The only thing I don't like about seeds is I suck at germinating them xD but I finally sucked it up and bought some seeds hopefully they l have a better success rate. I got them from herbies and there customer service was exceptionally helpful havnt got them yet but hoping for the best.

Hi bella, another aussie here. I used to have issues germinating but know i follow a method that works for me.

I use the paper towel method and have found the VIVA paper towels to be the best. I use Coles brand spring water @ 1.5lt and do not adjust PH for germination as the PH straight out of the bottle is around 6.3-6.5. Water is room temp and i don't use a heat mat or anything else, i just leave them in a room thats around 22-24 degrees Celsius and in 24-48 i have a germinated seed ready for planting into rockwool.

I get all my seeds from herbies - they will come through for you good luck

No problems, I'm more than willing to help out. I try my best to source Australian Made products but we are lucky with decent nutrient companies based out here ie. Cyco, Flairform etc. that make prices competitive and very reasonable particularly cyco.

I've also knocked together a clone/seedling chamber made out of an old filling cabinet from fantastic furniture. I'll post that in the DIY section in the future. Sanded, Painted and Sealed, im about to put a wooden veneer on the outside to disguise it as a piece of furniture in my lounge room. I'll keep you posted

Growth technology is also an aussie brand of nutes. I've tried cyco, not bad but more expensive than GT and just as good IMO. I still use cyco silica though.

I do a soiless in a 100% course perlite - hempy bucket style. I've found, for me, that this style is the easiest to maintain and has some +/- tolerance to adverse conditions ie heat & humidity especially in summer.
