Outdoor Strategies

[Mr Piggy]

Well, i live at 45.5 N so we don't get birds until august at the earliest. If you live in a high traffic area why are you growing large plants? Try something small and less smelly like Mossey's Purple Jems. You can pick them up at Automaticseed.com for real cheap. Just so you know you can visit a plant even once every three weeks and leave a trail. It's really obvious if people know what they are looking for. Like I said, re-read this thread and heed people's advice.

Well during winter they auto flower from getting less than 12 hours of light a day, keeping them rather short. right now I have a plant that is about 7 inches in height and looks to being finishing with around a half an ounce, maybe 20 or so grams. I've never grown a plant this small and never in a million year would have expected such a small plant to yield so much. it looks like a cola growing straight from the ground... I added some catnip and mint plants around it to make a little more stealth. Started it in December, expecting to cut it in the next couple weeks
I'm not even sure what strain it is, I got the seed from a friend. it has a sweet and spicy smell. I'm thinking of adding some pollen from a Colombian to a lower branch so I can grow it again some day, I would love to see what it would look like if it wasn't auto flowered. I'm taking a photo tomorrow, for you all to see... yet my camera got smashed in vegas so the only camera I have is on my tablet pc and I think it's not very good..but better than nothing. I'm waiting on my new 100x mic to arrive before I cut, the trics were apparent weeks ago, but the pistols are almost all white still. tho I've never been a big fan of judging by pistol coloration. so I can't wait to get a better look at the trics

 

[Mr Piggy]

Sounds great, I'd love to see it. Just to clear things up, that's not called auto flowering. It's still just regular photo-dependant flowering right from the start. It must be nice to live in an environment where it's warm enough to grow year round. Hawaii? I've had those damn pistols fool me before, I'd definitely wait for the mic. You can always try to find a cheap simple jewelers loup, works for me and I don't feel like too much of a jerk when i drop the thing in a river and loose it..... don't ask.

 

[JohnnycannabisSeed]

I lost my jewelers loop... Hawaii would be nice, but no. I am in a state that's known for it's sunshine, beaches and great bud.. but no good MMJ laws so that's why I'm a little reluctant to name it... but I'm sure the things I just named could give you an excellent clue. just over a couple dozen plants here could land a ill patient in prison for 5 years, so I'm sure you can see why I'm reluctant to give out it's name, no offense.

I recently stop taking several medications due to side effects, the dependency they caused and lapsed insurance, so I'm trying to get back to just taking more natural medication instead of shipping in non FDA approved meds from abroad like I have done before. Even tho meds from overseas make it in most of time. I'd still have to deal with my proper prescriptions being outdated, chemical dependency and ingesting unknown, possibly unsafe chemicals.
Western medicine is really too new to trust fully IMO, I'd much rather use a herb that has been healing since the beginning of time.

 

[Mr Piggy]

Ahh, you live in the countries retirement home. Yeah, they have some bullshit laws there. I feel you on dropping the western meds, they kill me. No really, when i was fourteen they killed me. Stay safe!

Damn, I just spent two hours on google maps scouting out spots for guerrilla patches and all i can say is, this is going to hurt. I found a couple of spots on the flood plains that seem to be covered on every side by eight foot tall black berries for a hundred feet or so. I figure if someone can burrow through that shit and find my plants they earned em. I'm going to need about 50-100 feet of tubing for irrigation, half a dozen blocks of coir, gallon zip of dolomite lime, and another gallon bag or two of dry nutes. All organic of course, I don't shit(chemicals) where I grow. My Plan is recover a 10-12 foot plank from a near by dilapidated house and use it to "leap frog" to the middle of the patch or 35 feet, whichever comes first. From there I'll unwind the tube and burrow under the patch with it until I get close to the edge. From there I'll use a stick to feed the end of the tube out to my partner who will be keeping an eye out during the whole process. He'll attach the tube to a three gallon bucket with a hole close to the bottom and make runs to a near by water source to feed me water as I need it to expand the coir bricks. while they're expanding in a bucket or tarp pond I'll be busy cursing and clearing out an 8x6 patch or so. Don't want it too large, greed gets you caught in these parts. Once that's done I'll get to work digging the roots out of the ground and plowing it up. Mind you this is a flood plain with black soil about 16 inches down so I don't have to worry about getting compost. I'll mix everything in and put the girls in the ground. About six Bluebonic Guerrillas. I'll then take the end of the tube and stake that fucker down secure right in the middle of the patch. After that if i don't pass the fuck out from exhaustion I'll use the plank to leap frog out from a different side so as not to crush the plants down too much. When all is said and done there will be no trail and the plants will be surrounded on every side with 8 foot tall 35 foot deep blackberries on every side. All we have to do is come back once every two weeks or so and dig the end of that tube out of the bush, plug it in the bucket and feed nutes and water through it in a bastardized flatland browndirt method.

Like I said, this is going to fucking hurt. A LOT. Ahh the ambition of youth.

Yup... it will hurt... I use Rosebuhes and blackberries... ouch! but soooooooooooo worth it!

Holly fuck man for real? We already invented the wheel... you need "swamp tube 101"

sorry I dont have time to copy the whole thread, if your serious about getting out in da swamp/wet area this is how to role...

here is a preview...

 

[Mr Piggy]

This isn't a swamp. The flood plain goes quite dry during the summer season (think oak savanna) and the water level drops down quite a bit. I know we're at the same lat cres (45.5) but i don't know if it's the same area. I'm west coast and we have massive, and I mean MASSIVE blackberry patches out here. They're the perfect size, thornyness, leaf shape and intimidation factor to plant in. Not to mention around the end of flowering season for bluebonic guerrilla all the berries ripen and start to rot, couldn't think of a better mask for scent.

There is a swamp a few miles from here though and I'm going to have to try that out as well. Looks like some no hassle magic and I am about to have my hands full with BBxGG3 seeds......

Thanks for the tip!

Last year was a record wet year...first the most snow in 20 years then the Hurricane Irene... hurt me.

The more good organics you put in the soil, the less water you need. What it dont rain where you are? Watering is never a good stealth thing and is a shitload of work. If you do get rain and your soil may have plenty of natural moisture. Get your organics in early.
