Not Aussie, worst drought in 50 years here. Lost a LOT of plants due to planting in Black 5 gal. Nursery Pots. They baked or turned Hermie. The Afghan, Cali orange & easy sativa done well after I put them in partial shade. In ground with proper soil & water every other day, should not be a problem. The heat did not kill that plant in the pic... all around it, the weeds are doing well. Here, everything was burned. Better soil & a good strain. I'm thinking some from Africa. Half semi-shade is good, also.
