Big Girls Go Wild!
Okay, they're not that big, but they're going wild anyway.
Actually, I think I saw a couple of tiny flowers on the main 4th node of the AK47.
Puberty has arrived! So, perfect time to send them out on their big adventure.
Pity I didn't get any pics of the tiny flowers, but they're just girls, really, so kind of shy...
I went with the Auto AK47 and Auto White Widow Max both to site A.
After double and triple checking security, and putting on my black ninja suit, it was a dusk mission.
Just enough light to see by, but not enough to be seen by.
After checking out that Outdoor Guerrilla Strategies thread,
I downloaded a cool app that can do a sun movement path from your phone (based on location).
I already knew that the site was nice, gets dawn's first rays, right through until near dusk,
though not really dusk, before it's a south-east facing slope, so about 5am to 5:30pm.
So 12+ hrs of direct sunlight if all is ideal.
Originally I thought to dig holes there, and put in soil, but that slope is partly human constructed,
so it's very, very rocky. So I'm just using those 8L = 2gal pots instead.
But the rocks mean that there is little other vegetation, it's sparse and not overgrown.
The whole slope has several levels, and I'm down a couple of levels from the top.
But the levels above have some small trees that block seeing them from above,
while they themselves have a great view of all below. Excellent spot, I'm hoping.
Enough already, where are the photos? y'all asking...

Can see a couple of the bottom leaves missing from that grasshopper this afternoon....

Facing east, can see the town down the bottom of the mountains far below.

A-AK47 (front) and A-WWM (back)
Both of them fairly close together. Could have spread out more, but this is really the best spot.
The leaves are dropping a bit, just because it's night time.
They pick right up in the sun, but drop to sleep during the evening.
The vegetation looks a bit mediterranean in these shots.
That is due to this area only. The rest of this environment is not like this at all.
Much more lush and green and overgrown with every crazy plant and creature.
The spiders, snakes and monkeys around here are all insane, plus other things too....
Hope everyone can send out their best marijuana karma vibes to these two big girls.
Hoping that their first night out in the wilds will go well.
Love and hugs,
Maria
