Outdoor Tropical Winter Guerilla Grow Ideas!

[islandgrower]

It would be a perfect place to scatter sow a bunch of regular photo seeds, all around the local river bank gardens.
Wish I had like 1000s of seeds to do that.

I just have maybe ... 50 of my two Mandala Safari crosses, most are Afghani/Indica pheno, fewer are more hybrid types.

I may just do this, actually. Hanging on to these seeds is a bit pointless otherwise.

Use them.

You should do that . You may even find some live through to maturity.

Do you leave them in the little pots or do you transplant into the soil? Sounds like an interesting experiment. Couldn't do that in my world though. Temps would be about the same but the rain would be a bit less. Big problem is there are hunters everywhere this time of year. Not to mention the hunted critters would love some fresh foliage. Plus I wouldn't be able to stay away. There would be a beaten path to each of the girls by harvest time.

Would like your thoughts on my latest idea --
Tropical Winter Guerilla Grow!!

I'm in the city, have to keep it real easy and low key.

4 or 5 pots x 1.2 L = 1/3 gal.
I soak and germ the seeds first, then into the pots.
Each pot gets 2 auto fem seeds, plus 2 photo reg seeds.
Will be from same stock as last time:
Sweet Seeds -- Auto Dark Devil, Auto Cream Mandarine XL, Auto Jack 47
Fast Buds -- Auto Green Crack, Auto G14, Auto C4-matic
Dutch Passion -- Auto Mazar
Ministry of Cannabis -- Auto Blue Amnesia
Mandala -- photo reg Safari Mix hybrids, from my faster Afghani / Indica pheno

Pots are just straight potting mix, maybe some crushed egg shells for Ca.
They sit on the south facing window box until they get a couple of sets of leaves.
Maybe when they throw the 3rd set, 5 pointer leaves, maybe 10cm = 4" tall.

Then I take them down by the river, and find a place to put them.
Put each pot in a different place, minimize losses.
Visit very seldom, only if long period of no rain.

Grow through Nov / Dec / Jan, light hours minimum of 10/14.
Temps, low of maybe 10-12 C, high of maybe 20+ C.
Should be okay. It's winter, but this is sub/tropical location.
Rainfall, maybe about 100mm / month = 4".
Can be fairly humid, but not as crazy as my last location (OMG)
If I can, drop in some high PK pellet slow release nutes when they go out to the river.

Because 4 seeds / pot, if one or two die / fail, no prob.
If 3 or 4 all okay, can cull out the smallest, pref the photos, cos they're reg.
Leave 1 or maybe 2 plants / pot.

Little pots, little plants, maybe get a couple of plants through to maturity, if lucky.
1/2 oz on a nice top bud should be possible.

What do you all think? Any ideas?

Love and hugs,

Cheers to you and the new grow! When you go down by the river you should be able to tell if there is any foot traffic in the area. Plant in an area that is hard for you to get to and I'm betting it will be safe, safer anyway.

I want more than maturity, I was to propagate and start a wild self perpetuating strain.
Come back in a couple of years, and glean colas from the wild fields, hombre.

Yeah, I've thought about that.
Leaving in pots means I can just drop them wherever is good, in some long grass or short bushes.
Planting in soil will mean clearing space, which draws attention, and can't move them at all.
Though of course, in soil means bigger space, bigger space means bigger roots, bigger roots means bigger buds.
Critters always an issue. But, in winter, far, far less than the summer.
They'll nibble and chew, but seldom enough to take a plant down.
My biggest problem too -- me visiting too much...................

Yeah. I've been scouting the area a lot lately. Sometimes on foot, sometimes on a bike.
There is foot traffic around the established local urban gardens.
But still much other space.
One area in particular is fairly big and open, with grass about a foot or so tall. Perfect.
Best security is close to the river, but then risk of too wet.
But that place I just mentioned is not too close to the water, either.

I'm going to try to find a slightly different place for each pot.
Spread them around, that's the way to go guerilla.

Thanks, @archie gemmill -- would love to grow some outdoor plants like the ones at your garden.

Dropping las semillas in el agua in a couple of horas.

Just waiting for house mate to leave for work soon.

12-24 hr soak, hopefully some will pop, then straight into the little pots with soil.
