Outdoor Strategies

[Mr Piggy]

Here's a picture of one of em. I have to put them deep in the bush, lots of outdoorsy hikers/hunters and what/nots out this way. It caused her to stretch, but she reached up to the good sun and gave me plenty at the end of the year. This is her at about nine feet with just one watering over a couple of months.

I am putting out a couple of critical jacks and a haze 2.0. I can't put out anything that tall evan though I am legal and do it in my own backyard or rippers would get it. Seems like you could stick these autos in your front yard flower bed and nobody would see em. Still in the low 20's last couple of nights here

A couple of things I'd like to share with you outdoor growers. Firstly, found a great cure and prevention for Spider Mites: Take some habanero peppers (a decent sized handful that have been chopped finely) then simmer them (DON'T BOIL) for about 20 minutes. Let cool, strain through a seive then use as a spray on your plants. Note: it won't hurt the plants at all but it will quickly kill all the mites. I've tried this and know that it works. Keep the sprayer in your fridge, its good for about 2 months. Note: when spraying USE A MASK and GOGGLES this stuff is extremely toxic.

Okay, I guess its tip time!
1) scatter a hand full (4-10) cotton balls in the amended hole (in ground) or pot. This is used hold moisture of just natural dew or rain, but be careful to not use too many or medium can and will become saturated.
2) moth ball keeps a hand full of critters away. Most who use moth ball say the critter will just move them away or git rid of them some how; use small bottles drill many small holes in it (so air can flow freely) then drill one hole in cap, attach string/rope then make sure to stake or ect and animals cannot move your moth balls!
3) thorns or thorn bushes are your friend!

Just found this thread, it's great. Mr. piggy, wow, I did not know about how you grow outside! Kudos to you sir! I have no expierence with wet soil, but much with blackberry thickets. I get on all fours and start cutting limbs with a tin snip. I stick the cuttings into the sides of my tunnel. The big trick is to make a ninty degree turn not to far in. This makes it impossable to look into the patch. Once in the middle I would stand up and clear an area to use.About buckets in trees! Bad,bad idea! Amiture move. About animal deterrment. As anyone tried crushed walnut hulls? They are highly poiseness , so much so it is illegal to throw them into any stream here. Destroys an animals sence of smell for many hours. Do not use blood meal except in the fall and let set all winter.Draws animals and ticks! Do not grow where anyone would hike near! Listen to the great advice you can get here and nowhere else! Never grow bag seeds. Human animals are your biggest threat! Too many times these will be your freinds or family. I also had a cell phone ring while I was in my spot. I too shit my pants! Use insect damage to show you the plant is not getting something it needs. Strong plants fight insects on their own. Hope some of my tips help. I learned a few new things heer.

Just curious why do you see the tree idea as bad?

I haven't been here in months but I'm gonna be starting my mountain outdoor grow and my brother's soon enough. Looking at germinating around June 10th.

This will be my first grow ever! And the stars seem to have aligned to give me access to not only private land to grow on but all the amenities (water, electricity, brother will be able to tend to the grow every day since I can only visit once a week at most).

My plan:
Germinate 8-10 seeds from supplies of Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry, Dinafem Critical Jack, and DNA Genetics 60 Day Wonder (all fem autos) in tiered cups of LW.
Grow indoors for 1-3 weeks, hardening off outdoors whenever possible.
Transplant 6 best looking plants to 5 gallon smart pots of 80/20 OF/LW+verm+perl.
Pots will be watered via a wick through the bottom in reservoirs potentially with air pumps for oxygenation of this somewhat stale way of watering.
Feeding Trio over the top so I don't clog the wicks, also looking at doing some LST so we can stay low (it gets windy as all get out up there, I'd imagine bushier would do better than taller).
Blueberry and Jack are suppose to be 10 week strains, DNA is suppose to be 60 days/8.5 weeks. Based on historical temps I should have till September to harvest which is 12 weeks time minimum seed to harvest.
Whatever plants don't get selected for the smart pots will be adopted out to loving homes or in the ground with whatever leftover soil I have.

I have no idea what to expect for sure other than a headache or two here or there as I blaze my own trail. Thinking I'm gonna wait to pick up all my supplies except what I need to germinate until I see I have promising-looking infants to transplant. But I really have no idea what to expect for harvest if all goes well. 6 plants, 5 gallon smart pots, mountain sun, mountain wind/air, decent seed (I hope), but short season, noob growers, and summer hail storms. I have faith I can beat the odds!

Tree idea. How big a bucket? Watering every day once they get a little size. Hiding the rope and pully. Hiding the trail you made going every day. How high in the tree? Only sun in the top. How much yeild for how much trouble? Visable from the air, stands out. Squirrel hunters, firewood collecters, deer hunters folowing the trail you made. Many people look up. Enough or want more reasons not to grow in trees. if you never tried it, once is enough. Has anyone here ever grown more than a small amount doing this. if so I would love to see a pic. In the feild I am always looking up for game cameras. Those things scare me! You may be able to to this, I just know many who trid and not one did well.
