First Outdoor Guerrilla Grow

I am looking to do the same, I've got the seeds and still have a while to go before planting season. However, I am willing to take time to a actually visit the plant once in a while. Should I bring clones to the location or just grow them there from seed? Also, should I use the soil that exists there or should I dig holes and fill them with my own soil blends. As far as water goes, there will be quite a haul for the water unless i can set up some sort of pump.

 

im in the same boat as both of ya
just waiting for spring.gonna suck to water tho i hurt my foot so its gonna suck to walk.
but i will be worth it.i already got beans.

 

im growing durban poison this summer, idk how little maintenance you will need to do but i know its ver resistant to mold and disease, as for the watering i would say look into a watering system, its not too hard to make ur own gravity drip water system, good luck

 

Durban poison is a great choice, my cousin grows it from dutch passion, a very hardy plant and maintance free for the most part, aslo early girl, mexican sativa, guerilla gusto, and nirvanas white rhino are some good maintance free plants (watch for mold with the rhino) the others have good mold resistance.

The best way to do a set and forget (you will have to still check occasionally) is to prep the sight ahead of time and use espoma plant tone. Plant tone takes lasts about 4 months from the day it hits soil and slowly releases nutrients to the plant. Best to put down in april, will last to mid-end of july (just in time)

Dig holes about 3ft wide, 2 ft deep. Take out half of soil, add organic soil and perlite, or vermiculite, I think perlite is better. Also might want to add some peat to the soil, promix is best, sphagnum peat moss bails work to found at lowes but is acidic, so 2 tablespoons of dimolite lime per gallon of peat works great.

Now you have your holes, place a handful of plant tone about a foot under the surface of the soil and mix well (to avoid "hot" spots) Put some chicken wire around the holes and make them wide. try to atleats visit twice a month to use neem oil (my preference) as an insecticide or they will go through abuse from insects, neem is also helps prevent mold however I do not suggest spraying your buds with it.

About the middle of july top the soil with a handful of flower tone and rub it in the top soil without disturbing the pant.

I have done this, not the best results, but still pretty good smoke.

 

where do you just get a shit ton of seeds from?

 

You either get them out a bag of weed or the better option, order seeds through a reliable seed company.

 

Hey guys.

Ive been growing outdoors for a long time. There wasnt anybody to ask questions to when i started growing and as a result, it was about my 3rd grow before i actually had a harvest! These forums are repleat with stories of failed first grows.

Let me give you guys some advice to keep that from happening to you.

Ammending soil, adding nutrients and affecting Ph are skills that come to growers through experience and over time. DONT bet your winter supply of smoke on your ability to appropriately modify soil. If your guess is inaccurate, ( and soil modification without testing is "guessing"), then you will suffer the fate of thousands of other first time growers and harvest very little if any smoke. Youre risking youre freedom to do this, make it count.

Lets consider a couple of points.
I'll assume that u guys smoke 1/2 oz of weed per week. Thats 2 ozs per month which means you will need 24ozs to have enough smoke to get through the entire year. Will the seeds your planting mature in time and yield 24 ozs? Make sure the answer is yes.

If i were you, i would order 5 femminized seeds of a strain that is a good producer and only 1 or 2 plants will provide you with your annual needs. Blue Hash from DInafem produces 16-24 ozs per plant, finishes the end of sept and has good potency. Blue Maturo from Kannabia seeds also is a good yielder, producing a lb or more per plant. You should be able to get 5 femmed yielders for $60 or less.
Then...
Go to the Lowes, Walmart, Home D or somewhere like that an buy 5- Three cubic foot bags of decent potting soil. Miracle grow or Sta green are fine and will grow a good sized cannabis plant and will cost about $12 per bag.

Find a couple of locations where you can plant 2 good plants that will be in the sun and wont be found. Dig 2 holes 30"0"X 14" D and fill the hole with the 3cu. ft of potting soil.

If you plant your fem seedlings in these holes and can keep the deer off of them, you shoud harvest several lbs of smoke to carry you through the season.

This approach will cost less that $150 and should result in several lbs of smoke.

On another track, go off and follow the advice of Boggieman. If your guess about the soi is right, you'll have more weed! If things dont turn out the way you had hoped, make some changes and come back next year and try again... and again.. and again. Thanks to good planning, you'll be stoned the entire time.

 

good luck man outdoor makes fine smoke if done right and produces more than indoor if in full sun

 

So what you are basiclly saying, is just to buy good soil and put the plants in it and water it?
without using any nutes?
will the plant make it to harvest that way?

 

plants dont need nutes, just like i dont have to take vitamins supplements and protien powder. but it makes me bigger, look better, feel better. same goes for mj

 

An mj plant, whatever strain it is, will not survive without water. It will burn to a crisp. Try finding land that is moist and grow on top of that or hand water from a nearby water source.
For the soil mix, don't use MG potting soil. See the link under my sig or the sticky in organic section. Basically a peat basis, lime, vermiculite (or perlite) and castings. For babies that's it. Once they're bigger, place in hole with horse shit and chicken shit at bottom hole. Promix is good too but I don't have it. Also add mycorrhyze in there.
For ferts, Look for some COMPOSTED chicken manure (or high p bat guano if you have) and horse manure (local farmers will give it or sell it cheap)(or buy it in a store). Mix the chicken (high n and high P) towards the bottom. That will be your long term food. The horse and castings (quickly eaten) you place more towards the top of the hole (or tote) as the plant will use it first in veg. I also add kelp for K. I tend to my plants mostly to LST/fim, inoculate compost tea, foliar spray teas, add epsom salts twice in season, cut males if regular seeds and top dress in flowering.
Clodhopper is right. Keep the numbers low for the first time or you'll have many small shitty plants and poorly hidden and no sunny spots (cutting branches, digging, takes time). I use my spots over and over again and they are very well hidden in mountains, bogs, marshes, canals... they are good to go now. I use em each year so can spend more time creating new spots if nec.
Timing is crucial so my advice is aim for 10 female plants max (in 3 spots) BUT with great stealth, lots of sun and a water supply for the plant (you can plant on dry land and use the river or lake nearby to hand water). If you have 30 in 6 spots, you will have wanter to have all spots ready and in the end none will be ready in time so you're stuck with lots of plants to tend to and none have good sun expo (timing). If your plants are in the ground in June, they won't be pounders (esp if not started indoors).
Kannabia has good strains I tried their auto big bud and it's killer smoke and cheap and became a big auto (6 weeks veg instead of 3 for other small worthless autos I grew). SUN is number 1 to get big plants. Also starting indoors uner a MH or HPS will give you a big headstart but not nec.
Also Female seeds, GHS, DNA, Dinafem have good feminized seeds.
Good luck

 

Yes. Thats exactly what im saying to you, with a couple of caveats. You will have to fertilize some, but a couple of applications of a decent nitrogen fert during veg and a couple during flowering will do the job. Corta Malteze is right about a number of aspects, cannabis needs water so you have to water if it doesnt rain. This is a way of growing that is as simple as it gets.
Six simple steps: Dig a hole, pour in the dirt. Plant your plant, water regularly if it doesnt rain, fertilize a few times and harvest.

I know there are many people that advise against using miracle grow potting soil or Sta green, etc. And in a world where everything is perfect or if you are optimizing every aspect of the grow, then by all means develop a high quality soil or buy one at $25 a bag.. But my results take exception to that beliefe as i harvest probably 6-8 lbs of smoke every single summer for 20 years or more from holes ive dug in rocky slopes and filled with miracle grow or Stagreen potting soil and many times i have harvested over a lb of smoke off of a plant grown in a 3cu. ft bag of MG. Its not sexy or popular and some consider it to be amaturish, but it grows a big plant everytime and that is an absolute fact. Could i have a better soil? Absolutely. But it isnt practicle to spend lots of time and money building a custom soil so that i get a whopping 2 more ozs per plant. Screw that. Spend 12 bucks, carry the bag to the site, dump it in the hole and collect my 12-16ozs on Oct 1. .Smoking the weed always makes up for any bad vibes.

People tend to over complicate. Supply decent soil with a nuetal ph and cannabis will grow well.Those conditions describe most decent potting soils. The plant couldnt care less about brand names or fancy formula's. Buy a few bags, plant a few plants in them and you will have a harvest even if your other ventures fail. You must water and fert.

 

I don't have Miracle grow or Promix for sale here so I MUST do my own soil. I use free manures and make my own soil in 5 minutes. Nothing complicated at all. It's much cheaper. You can also use 20% native soil if it's a loamy type. As long as the airiness is in there (aka perlite or vermiculite). Plants will deplete their food stock according to where they are located (they can use native ferts if available). In barren areas, in flowering, they will get pale and die of hunger. I like to feed them myself and use a light soil mix (aka castings and peat) for the seedlings. When I plant there is enough food in there that I never liquid feed them (just plain water if nec). I top dress in mid flower. For the mix, I don't have another choice anyway and it's nothing to brag about. To each his own...

 

Hey Corto,

Dont think im slamming your approach, im not. Youre right that once a grower knows how to modify their native soil so that it produces big plants, then your approach is far superior in every sense to dumping out a bag of all purpose potting soil and planting. But i can tell by your advice that you have some experience that has allowed you to figure all of that out and this is dickbutkis's begining. Im trying to get him some weed for his first grow the easiest way possible.

By all means, there are better ways, but the plan i laid out for him will work relatively well with all things being equal

 

Ah ok I understand your approach Clodhopper. Thanks for clearing that up buddy. Peace.
