Guerilla Yeilds

You know outsiders, i been growing guerilla a long long time and when i see threads such as the one posted here "strains that produce 5- 10lbs" Ha ha ah! He aint no gueriilla grower is he.


Im here to announce that the average guerill yeild is 5-7 ozs. Getting 4ozs is not uncommon in a bad year. It is rare rare rare indeed and requires the right strain and lots of rain and sun to ever ever get a lb of smoke. I know of 3 mayber 4 strains that even have the capacity to produce a lb of smoke in the wild.

Its almost laughable to suggest a guerilla can get a lb from a plant in my enviroment. Its not california here.

True words.

Please, tell me more about those 3 - 4 strains? What do you think about Dutch Passion´s Frisian Dew?

I agree, however if the holes, soil and weather are right, I guess you could get a pound per plant with many strains.

I did a guerilla first time this year and got around 320grams out of 4 plants, but knoiw exactly the reasons for this relatively poor result.
Next year will be a lot better.

I'd also like to know more about these guerilla-suited strains.
Thinking of KC33 for 2013.

Any better suggestions?

I beg to differ all my research points to 3-4foot clone and put out early as possible some time in may with a cfl light into june20th.. Trained right, treated right, and the right strain for ur climate and 5+lbs is very possible.. Now 10lbs is unlikely but I believe it depends on the skill of the grower...
 
I don't live in Cali ... I'm in the northeast and my average on years that make it to harvest is about 6-8oz per plant ... I did have a few that went 1# ... S a n n i e s jack herer f5 went 14oz plus 3oz of fluffy popcorn that got turned into 60grams of dry sift kief

But I plant in ground ... If your planting in containers I guess 4oz or less is likely but I hit 4oz in 3gal pots outside.

Strains play a huge role! A nice sativa hybrid will pull Serious weight with adequate light (8+hrs).

Greencrack does well outside, maple leaf Indica, jack herer (zero mold), blueberry ... I've put chems and diesels in a secluded field with decent results of 5-10% loss due to mold but wouldn't recommend those unless your in a dry climate. Check out mazar-I-sharif ... It'll yield well and can take cold weather and even will handle a small snow storm just shake her off in the morning or next day.

My 2013 guerrilla grow should be a good one with the strains I'll be running and with 3x3 mounds of coco/peat in semi swamp conditions. I'll post it up when I start the winter prep.

Yeah except you can't hang a CFL over your guerrilla patch, and getting a 4 foot plant from your house to the woods unnoticed might be tricky

I think your right in some aspects here ... But do you really think what you described would be considered guerrilla growing or back yard growing cause idk about you but I can't get away with transporting clones bigger than 1' without it looking odd plus where would you plug a cfl into out in the woods .. A tree?!

But put your clones out memorial weekend and you won't(strain dependent/if you veg at 16hrs) deal with revegging plants.


Oh ... And anyone looking for a great outdoor plant ... Dutch passions Durban poison ... 6-8oz per plant in 10gal container, finished Sept 25th at 40*N with ZERO mold, mildew and the bugs never bothered any of the durbans I had. Nice citrus/licorice aroma, mild day time buzz and every Durban I had was the same as the last .... Dutch passion has the best representation of Durban out of the companies I've tested and witnessed ... Most other durbans are very poorly made hybrids IMHO.

Also check out white widow and Trainwreck, Manitoba medicine(if it's around anymore) or sweet tooth#3

:yeahthats
Not that its never been done, it has, but its a trippy trick. :peacock:

As far as the lighting goes
1 marine battery. (plus 1 spare)
2 VW solar dash chargers mounted between sheets of plexiglass with silicon.
1 12vdc to 120vac power inverter ...and...
1 cfl (hoping to upgrade to led lighting, as soon as my rich uncle gets out of the poorhouse)
Everything besides the solar chargers go inside a teepee that comes down each morning.
I just hate lugging the spare full charged battery there and the one in need of full slow charging back with me once a week.
Smokey might think im stealing batteries or something.

Or you can just be extra crafty and bend and shape your large plant to fit into a smallish looking box and place the box into your backpack.. hoping that smokey dont get nosy about the contents of your pack.

i started my golden tigers in march, transplanted the 18" seedlings od in a metro guerrilla grow may 15 and just finished harvesting the secondary and final buds. looks to be about 1 lb. trimmed weight. very high yield for me. i average qp/plant without transplanting.

Lol sounds crazy

Come to think about lighting up a guerrilla grow does sound (and is) crazy.
And it still doesnt change moondawgs point about real deal guerrilla grow conditions and yields in this part of the country.
In fact, the teepee with a light should be considered more of a remote grow, not true guerrilla conditions.

Climb 30 foot up a rock face and line a crevice of loose stone with some leafs plus 5 or so gallons of soil full of water retaining polymer crystals, hope it dont wash away when it pours the rain for days at a time.. transplant your clone into that disaster waiting to happen, and check on it once or twice a month, mostly by looking through binoculars.. except when you have to scale the rock and water during a drought.
and that is a lot of work for a few ounces.
Fill a hollow tree stump waist high full of soil and plant there, if the mites/coons/slugs dont get it, you get a few more ounces.
Train it to vine around a tree and you got bug problems, but you might get a few more ounces and most people will think its Virginia Creeper and walk right past it without giving it a second thought.

But since everyone is showing pictures of christmas trees in the middle of a classic lollipop pattern, grow it that way.
You might get a half pound without getting ripped or busted by the helicopter.

Here's the problem. You see, NO GUERILLA PLANT EVER EVER EVER EVER RECIEVES "TREATED RIGHT"!

They get treated once a week if theyre close enough to civilization for that to be practicle but more likely, you get 10minutes every 2 weeks.

Unless youre area recieves 1+ " of rain per week which is what is required so that one doesnt have to carry water, the plants are always short on moisture. Big plants have to have big moisture.


Plenty of times ive gotten a lb or more. Theyre exceptions and not the rule. Drought, deer, wind, hail ,storms beetles, leafhoppers,caterpillars, leaf cutters, grasshoppers, cut worms, boreres. Nope, it dont happen much in guerilla.

I see ur point moondawg was thinking about yeild and not on gg's per say. Shit if I did a gg I would plant a thousand clones set it and forget it and hope for the best:tumbleweed: I know everyone can't grow monsters in their backyard but that's what I would if I had a choice between the 2. Both are hard work but being legal is safer to an extent.. I guess it really depends on the state and if it's police or feds

Some of the worst weed you will ever smoke is true guerrilla weed. Outdoor weed for some reason or another is never as good as the dialed-in indoor stuff. It's better than nothing at all, but not primo. Outdoor where I live you have heavy constant rains that ruin a crop or force an early harvest. I am sure some guy will say the best weed he has ever had was some guerrilla weed, but that has to be the exception. With guerrilla weed you have to plant a lot of plants in a lot of locations. It is a numbers game.

saying outdoors weed is worse than indoor is like saying outdoor tomato is worse than indoor. but I'm sure any indoor tomato will be better than outdoor in Greenland. I prefer not to eat indoor tomatos and all the best weed I smoked was outdoor. indoor weed might be as potent as outdoor but just like tomato it doesn't feel and taste like it has grown under the sun.

I dont think there are any. Competing plants overfert underfert drought flood storm pests low light animal damage human damage fucked up light schedule; regardless of what i threw at it; KC33 was the first to bounce back and the most vigorous grower.
If anybody knows something comparable or better i would like to know and give it a try.
