Grant Oregon Outdoor 2010

[Grant]

Welcome to my grow diary. I will be/am guerrilla growing in NW Oregon.

Due to 5+ weeks of constant rain and clouds my first 3 plants, which were full moon, died.

This leaves me with a decent amount of seeds: All of the seeds are from Nirvana.

- Kaya Gold Feminized - X5
- Short Rider Autoflower Feminized - X5
- Master Kush Feminized - X5
- Full Moon Feminized - X2

- Total Feminized Seeds - 17

However 17 is simply too many for me, so I am giving 5 to my friend. This Leaving me with 12 seeds and 4 strains.

Please stay tuned and bare with me as i try to have my first successful outdoor guerrilla grow.

Here are some photos of the seeds.

Please click on the photos to view the high quality versions, Thankyou.

Just starting now from seed? I was thinking it might be too late..maybe just get smaller plants? Hmm I might have to toss a few out there.

It is late to start, but my first one I started around the 15th of may, and they died due to lack of sun and the cold temperatures Oregon has received over the past 5 weeks. I decided to hold off on starting these till late because of the weather. Yes this does mean the plants will be small, but its not like i need much.

Here are some pictures of the beginning of the germination:

How large were they when you put them out in may? I put one out at the end of april and it is loving life now. A stronger plant will survive if you treat it right. I am just glad the rest of the week is supposed to be sunny

 

[progump]

Well ?

Well ?

hows it going with all this weather I cant belive this rain still going in june grrrrr.

K i just got back from 5 hours of scouting, I found a few useable and nice locations. I took a couple hundred photos which i will be uploading soon. It was amazing where i went, and i believe my plants will love the area.
for reading my journal.

I did not start them inside, i don't have a growlight setup. They had popped in paper towels and been placed just under the fertilizer in some pots. I believe i did everything right. But the area i got now has full sunlight all day long, so they should be fine.


Forecast where i am is still clouds all week, but its sunny atm, for some reason.

I just decided that I probably should go back this afternoon and start the work on the plot, there are alot of reeds to chop and roots to dig up from the little areas. Also I will bring all my tools in and a small load of soil.

 

[crossouttheiis]

I feel so glad to be done. I packed in two yards of soil for ten plants at about a mile from where I could park. Good luck and stay safe

You can get a shop light at fred meyer for like 15 bucks and just get a cool blue and a warm something bulb... for like 20 bucks total perfect for veg in a closet or anywhere if you are on a budget

Shop light? You mean like the bulb? Cause i need a socket too and stuff.



Edit: I just realized I have some work lights that are those really powerful yellow ones that you use when working like under a house or in crawl spaces. I will see how hot it gets and see if i can't get a little setup.

Ok, so i actually started work on the plot today, but i didn't take photos of the work. Instead I only took photos when i was looking at areas. So here are some of the photos. Sorry, but most have nothing to do with cannabis, just some nice photos. Most future pictures will hopefully be on plants.

Here is the field/marsh area that the plot is in, the reeds are around 8 feet tall.

Here is a nice photo of a dead tree and the sky:

Here is a photo of the creek near the plot, the creek/stream will be my water source. The water is about 2 feet deep and the creek is usually around 5 feet wide.

Here is a photo of some weed that was purple, and looked cool. No i am not talking about the cannabis version of weed.

Here is a photo of a snake that was just hanging out. I actually found 6 of them.

Here is a photo of one of the thorny reeds of death, that surround the area.

for reading my diary.

Cant see the pics is that just me or can no one see um? and a cheap florecent ballast with some t5 bulbs would be worth the trouble to get. the better they are before u plant the faster they will grow later. so u around portland area ? I am

IDK why you can't see them. They are very high quality pictures and are too big for the page, I will see if other people can see them. Please reply if you can/can't see them.
not going to answer that question atm. , but send me PM with your msn or something.

EDIT: ok i just had my friend look at the page on his comp and it worked, he says he saw the pics.

The thorny weed of death is called teasel, the purple one is a thistle.

You'll have a lot better luck if you can start the plants indoors under a fluorescent light and move them outdoors when they're 6-12" tall. You can expect 90 percent loss when planting seeds outdoors.

I'm in the same area, the plants I put outside in May are 4' tall and growing great but they were a foot tall when they went out.

The bright yellow lights you have are halogens, they're no good for growing. They put out lots of heat but little light. Go to the hardware store and get a basic "shop light" with a couple of 4' fluorescent bulbs, less than $20 and your plants will love them.

Good Luck you are gonna need it. Fall rains in that area suck ass

Ima run to home depot and see if i can get some today, I just have a very limited budget atm. the t5 setup i found cost $90, and at the moment i don't have that to spend on a light setup.

 

[Grant]

HAHA, ok so i just planted all the seeds besides 3 short rider. I bought 1 t5 light thats only
23" for $20 then came home and found a 4' t8 double light ballast and lights soo i got 9 plants planted under t8s and a small t5. However they are in a cold area and i might have to add a heater.
tried to take photos but camera low on battery.
