ChloroFileNSW Central Tablelands
The season here opens in spring and closes in autumn of the following year, so the dates below run from Oct 12 through to Apr 30 the next year. Photoperiods get 123 days between the daylight trigger and the killing freeze. 6,029 photoperiod varieties finish here, alongside 1,799 autoflowers.
Frost dates are Bathurst Agricultural Station, NSW’s: the median last spring and first autumn freeze across 1991 to 2020, from Bureau of Meteorology observations. Your own plot will differ by a week either way.
Showing 60 of them, split between the two flowering types and capped at three per breeder so a single large catalogue cannot fill the list.
Frost dates are 50%-probability averages. A sheltered, south-facing spot buys you a week or two; a low frost pocket costs you the same. Treat the margin as a planning number, not a guarantee.
