Outdoor Summer
Are you ready to grow outdoors this summer?
These are the nutrients you need, and when each one goes in. One kit, from planting out to the end of the season.
Everything for one big plant in a pot, from planting out to the end of the season. Planting in the ground? Skip the pot and the mix, the feed is the same.
Outdoor summer kit
A big fabric pot, a mix with feed already in it, a microbe for the hole, a veg feed, a flower feed and seaweed for the heat.
Wind and heat where you are? Add silica, below. It stiffens the stems from the day you start it.
Outdoors the sun sets the timetable. Plants grow while the days get longer, and flower once they start getting shorter after midsummer.
October to November: plant out
Once the nights stay mild, into a big fabric pot or the ground, with Great White in the hole. The bigger the pot, the more the plant can grow and the slower it dries out.
December to January: grow
Full sun, long days. Terra Vega once the mix's own feed runs out, seaweed through the hottest weeks, and water early in the morning, never in the midday heat.
Late January to February: flowering starts
The days are getting shorter. When you see the first flowers set, swap Terra Vega for Terra Flores. That is the whole change.
March to April: finish
The plant ripens through autumn. Keep the feed steady, watch for rain on the flowers, and have your drying and storage sorted before the end.
Fabric, not black plastic
A black pot in full sun soaks up heat and the roots against the wall stop working. Fabric breathes and stays cooler.
Go big on the pot
15 gallons or more. A small pot dries out in an afternoon on a hot day.
Water in the morning
So the plant goes into the heat full, not at 4pm when it is already drooping.
Feed half strength in a heatwave
The plant drinks more water in the heat. Strong feed on a hot day burns the tips.
Our best-selling microbe. It only works if it touches the roots, so it goes in on day one.

- 15 species of mycorrhizal fungi
- 19 species of beneficial bacteria

Big pot or the ground
Outdoor plants get as big as their root room lets them. 15 gallons is the minimum we would use.
Veg feed, then flower feed
Terra Vega while the days get longer, Terra Flores once flowers start to set in late summer.
Plan for the heat
Fabric pots, morning watering and seaweed. Most outdoor losses in Australia are heat and water, not feed.
Do not plant out too early
If the nights are still cold, the plant sits and does nothing, or flowers early and stays small. Wait until the nights stay mild, usually from mid October in the south.
