Darwin's 2010-2011 Guerrilla Grow

[darwinsbulldog]

i have a little battery operated grinder that looks sort of like a torch. you put the weed into it and it has little blades that chop it up, the hash settles on the mesh screen at the bottom (some even finer stuff goes through the mesh) but it gets clogged really quick and most rests on the mesh itself. i then just used a sharp knife to scrap it off the mesh and parts of the grinder and then out of the bottom plastic catching bit too. hope that helps mate

i just collected it all in cling wrap, put it into a ball and just kept putting pressure on it and shaped it. you can do the same but put it in your shoe and go for a walk too i hear

think it's time for some UPDATES!

went out to Jay's and Sat Patches today to have a look at the plants! they seem to be growing pretty healthy considering the cold weather we've had recently, and sunlight hours of daytime only just above 12/12 now i think.

Jay's Patch - all white widow, of 2 different cuttings.

none of these girls have shown any sign of damage from animals, they've grown pretty quickly and haven't started flowering at all considering the close to 12/12 sun light exposure at the moment which is good.

think they're showing a little bit of nitrogen def, we've had rain almost each day and because the medium here is rather sandy i think a lot of the nutes have been leeched away. i'll have to put some more 5in1 nutes around each plant this week to give them a bit of a boost.

Sat Patch - all sativa

Sam Skunkman's Original Haze X Skunk #1

Pure Power Plant - Nirvana

looks like nitrogen def to me... i'm gonna have to put some nutes around these guys too

we deciding to go scouting elsewhere to find some more places for potential growing. we found a few beauty's on a North West facing hill that will get a lot of light during the day and have water flow down it whenever it rains, there is a creek at the bottom i believe too.

here are 2 locations we found within a few 100 metres of each other on the hillside.

there was a very old 4wd track adjacent to the patches which will be a great help finding them at night as we can walk along it with ease. it's been heavily eroded away from rains over the past few years and has many fallen trees across it so it definitely hasn't been used in a very long time.

lots of small ferns/bracken at these new potential sites.

looks like there are echidna everywhere, though we saw none, we saw a heap of these little dug out holes with echidna nose size holes in the base of them where they've been probing for ants and other arthropods.

when walking back, we startled a wedge tailed eagle that was on the ground having a meal of something hehe he was HUGE, gave us a bit of a startle! just love the sound of their wings wooshing through the air as they take off beautiful birds... just got the camera out quick enough to snap this amateur shot.

really nice D

but aren't those widows real close to one another?

cheers mate, yeah we underestimated a little how close to put them together. i might do some serious LST with the outer WW bending their stems down to the ground outwards with some tent pegs so that they grow horizontally.

nice man

Great work mate I went for a walk at my old patch where everything got ripped last year this morning and was a little surprised when I went to my water source to find my trusty spade that I used to dig my holes last year.. SCORE.......

Was a bit weird carrying it back to the house many kms away as ppl were giving me the dirty looks left right and centre but that might have been due to the shirt I had on saying "IF you dont like it then fuck off"

 

[dread]

that' s good vibe man, finding your trusty spade back!!!
D.

ahahahaha nice one mate good to hear you got the spade back hehe. lol i'd say it would be the shirt more than the spade mate haha, reminds me of going to a concert last year where a few kids where wearing some Cradle Of Filth (death metal band) hoodies with "Jesus Is A C*NT" on the back of them. needless to say they got kicked out... lol

glad the plants are still vegging strong, personally i wouldn't add any fert, they look very healthy to me, great colors, dark fans on most and just a bit lighter color on the new top growth. how long have they been out there now?

the white widows have been out a month or so now, whereas the other sat patch sativa have only been out 2 weeks if that. they were dark green all over before hand so i think they're in need of a little nutes.

 

[gaiusmarius]

i guess it will do no harm this early in veg, lol. just messing with ya, being on site you obviously have a better general understanding of the situation, strain etc. i'll be watching carefully for burnt tips though, so i can say i told you so roflmao. ok enough with the jokes.

speaking of bracken, i have some plants growing in a spot that has lots of bracken around it. it seems it's already pretty good soil for our purposes. i just added some old coco coir and amendments and the plants really seemed to like it.

 

[darwinsbulldog]

ah sweet, yeah those sites above don't have any bracken growing around it, it's nearby 50m away or so, but the new potential guerrilla sites have a lot, so i'll probably just clear a few metres squared so light gets in and amend the soil there then plant some more girls in the near future they should hide the plants well from above

Nice start DB I love watching the sothern Hemi growers when the snow is on the ground here. Are any of the lady's starting to flower? seems as though they went out to early to me. I used to always try to get em out as early as I could because I thought it would be better. Well I have learned through the years it's not it's way better to wait till theright time to put em out. Some plants come out of the flowering quick but some just never seem to come out of the funk at all. Here's a great thread to read about early flowering https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=56985.

I am also a little concerned about the manure's you are spreading in your plot are they already composted for awhile or is it fresh shit? If it's pretty fresh you should wait a month + to let it start breaking down. Manure can be to hot when fresh.

 

[darwinsbulldog]

hey mate, cheers for the advice, the girls haven't started to flower from what i've seen as i put the first ones out just as we were back to about 12/12 and gaining more sunlight each day. it was more that i needed to get them out to make room for other stuff i wanted to flower inside, so had no choice really as if i'd kept them inside they would've started to flower anyway. so had nothing to lose.

most of the manure used sat for at least 1-2 weeks before anything was added, though i sprinkled a bit of fresh chicken manure around the white widows when i first planted them, that was probably 2-3 weeks back and they don't seem to have copped any burn so i think they're doing ok. i'll compost it from now on if i can though cheers mate

what's bracken?

 

[gaiusmarius]

you see that stuff behind the small cannabis plants, that's bracken, it's dieing off now.

 

[darwinsbulldog]

what's bracken?

small ferns that grow together in patches in the bush.
