Is there any way to delay the first email from a stream?

I am setting up a nurture stream for new clients, and I want the first email to go out after a month, then have the other emails go out at 3 moths 6 months and 9 months. I only have Spark, so Im not sure if any of that is possible, any help is greatly appreaciated. 

Thanks!

I think you could use wait steps in smart campaigns and drag those into the streams instead of just the emails.

I agree with Kim. If the campaign lets you, make these steps in your flow:

Wait: 1 month
Send: Email #1
Wait: 2 months
Send: Email #2
Wait: 3 months
Send: Email #3
Wait: 3 months
Send: Email #4

I am not 100% sure Spark will let you do this, but if it is does, I would set it up this way.

Yes - to add to this, the campaign would need to be in a program and then the flow would include the wait step.  The cadence would be set to daily (under weekly, select every day).  You would put one piece of content in each program.
