I would get a bag of dolomite lime and calcitic lime to buffer the ph of the areas your gonna use a soil ph meter so you can get an idea of where you want to plant using the appropriate lime to bring the soil to ph 6.5 there are calculations online on how to calculate its use in larger outdoor areas where the soil surround you will be moving in by erosion and changing ph. Do that asap also bring some worm casting blood meal and bone meal and you want that to have a few weeks to cook in the soil and cool down. I have also known growers to use a mild watering of gh micro a week in advance to build up beneficial bateria in the soil to help fight off the bad bacteria that will be there and funny enough the good bacteria useually wins.Hello everyone out in IC Land. I am a long time member of the boards. I have been away from here for a while and away from growing for even longer. Since I am back and summer time is just around the corner I have decided to give Guerrilla Growing a shot on a Hill Side I have been looking at almost my whole life. I have done many indoor grows big and small with much success but have never really given an effort to doing anything outdoors. I have absolutely thrown out a clone or seeds here and there but something has always happened, lack of water, shitty spot and deer usually thwarted my efforts, well not this year!!!!!
The Spot: 46 Degrees Latitude, Northern Oregon Back Country, A hill side about 1/4 mile from a creek with decent PH. Was logged about 10 years ago and there are some prime spots where trees have fallen down and on the edges of tree lines. I Fished this area my whole life as well as hunted there and can count on one hand in 28 years the number of people I have ever run into. Plus no one crosses the creek, the game trails are on the opposite side and the creek runs fast so unless you have balls, or know the crick like I do you cant really get across.
The DNA: Ordered from Boutique, 5 Feminized Big Bang Greenhouse, 5 The Church Greenhouse Feminized, 5 Sputnik #1 from Paradise Seeds. I also have a BoggleGum Clone from a good friend and trusted IC member on here, as well as a C99 Clone I have had around for a while and has been successfully grown here before.
Preparation Purchased a 4 foot 8 bulb HO T5 Bulb to get these little girls started inside 50,000 Lu rated. I have wet betty for early feedings, Happy Frog soil for their indoor pots, rapped rooters for the beans. I have lots of other supplements from other adventurers like top max, bud candy, grow big, ect ect.
The Plan I am going to pop beans and pick up my clones on 4/1/2010 with the intention to plant them the second week of May. An old times told me he could always plant on mothers day and grow monsters so Im going to go with that
Soil Prep This is where I need the most help from you members out there. I am not trying to break the bank on this grow nor am I aiming for monster results, but I do know I don't like to smoke crappy weed, and if I don't do some sort of soil preparation I will not like the results. I have 3 sites picked out. I plan to plant 3-4 Plants per sight depending on how the seeds do during their early lives. Because of the amount of distance I have to travel on foot to get to these sites I can not pack bags and bags of soil into the forest because of my back issues ( I have the water packing issue figured out Ill get into that later). When the plants go outside they will probably be in like clear 44 OZ cups, and I am assuming around a foot tall depending on strain. After reading a lot of posts it seems that my issue is more improving the current soil rather than packing in an aftermarket soil. I am thinking, bone meal, blood meal, marine cuisine time release ferts for early life with re application of flower nutes later?? This is where I am really stumped and could use some help?? I would really appreciate any input. What of how much?? I plan on going out this Saturday to dig my holes and add my goodies to let them marinate for around a month.
Part 2 coming soon, Deer and Pest Prevention, Cages, and veg room construction.
I miss Eugene, I was back over the weekend to see the NOFX show on 4/21. Rocked my balls off, like all the way off. But I had some great times there during college, even though I am a Beaver for life, I will always love Eugene. I did a lot of shinagans there and running back and forth on 99, from Corvallis to Eugene.
