Hi Folks, Greetings from the not as green as I would like it to be Isle.

Obviously I'm new to this site, and just looking around at the moment. Hopefully I will become more active as the days become weeks and so on.

I've been a pot lover and part time psyconaught for some 20 years and have seen the detrimental effects of prohibition over the years.

I'm interested in hearing from other Irish members, esp those with an interest in activism, which is something I want to get more involved with, but sadly we seem to be very fragmented at the moment.

I'm planning on going out doors for 09, so I'd like to hear from those with experience of growing in climates similar to my own.

Well thats the intro done.

Peace

Stu

High riskofwater and Bongoie. I am waiting on 100 Guerilla Gold seeds, for this years outdoor season. I have been using google earth to scout some good secure spots to grow. "Thank you Google"

It's gonna be a fun year. Gotta get myself to a gym or start working out as the fitness levels ain't great at the moment, and the outdoors ain't no place for the unfit :D

The GG is an early harvest strain, and I hope to plant a seed crop as well and send as many seeds to as many people as possible.

Just thinking about it brings a big smile to my face.

Cheers mate, some great advice there. Going to start them indoors and then move them out doors once sexed. Just praying that the seeds arrive as the first bacth was a no show, which was a shame as that batch contained purple dojo, and EWS. Which are great for out shitty climate, and bread with damp climates in mind. Got some pics from a friend in the sates who grew them on bog land in a very wet climate and the dojo produced a pould per plant. and the EWS produced about 4 oz per plant fininshing off at about 3 feet tall, ideal for stealth.

I think the GG will be similar to the EWS so im gonna plant in groups of 4 or 5, so the eye in the sky wont be able to spot them so easily.

I had some Guerilla Gold just last year from a friend. Unfortunately, as the outdoor standard, we played a numbers game with nature. The ONE surviving female that I seeded was damn near shredded by a flock of wintering magpies. Such is life. I grabbed what I could and here we grow again! Either way, the smoke was lovely despite everything it had been through.

thanks STU + M.E. and for the info TS sorry to hear that tale , but it's a gamble an u gotta b in it to win it , damm magpies :mad: i woulde'nt hold ma breath hoping for a pound a plant in ireland . topping , supercropping or attempting FIM r other options to reduce height . would like a purple myself but ere's always next year . for stealth plant amoungst ferns , i had 6 in a row roughly a foot apart amoungst ferns , i walked right past them when i was looking for them , but will increse the distance from each other this year . they went to roughly 5 foot in height , with an ounce each ish . not the best result but a good attempt none the less . once u find a plot it's a good idea to turn the ground over adding fert like fish blood and bone powder several months before planting out , to let it break down . i have a stealth ex army spade with a folding blade . it's a handy hardy tool thats only 2 foot long . wishing all the guerilla growers a fruitfull season cheers bongo
