I had a couple huge sativa's growing there and the smell was getting heavy. By chance there was a road kill skunk not far away. I stuck it in a box (*gag) and dropped it on the edge of the trail close to my plants. Worked like a charm. lol

That reminds me, I'll have to ask the wife to sew up a few fake pelts I can dirty up and drop close to my grows. Hope I can find Skunk Spray for it to give it that "je-ne-sais-quoi".

This has always been a method of mine that I have not brought up in this specific thread, specifically. But I have in other guerilla threads here on IC back in the day, years. Lol.

But we always used to go "skunk poaching" late at night, either we popped em with a .22 rifle or we ran over them. Sometimes even trapped them. We would place them around areas that had activity when the stench of the bud got out of control. We also used them in and near driveways outside of outlaw indoor grows when the dank started over powering the classic cheapo carbon filters. Lol the things we dedicated guerillas do to get by! I love it!

And most of all, I love how we all share the bond. Like I was telling Hamstring, we all think alike in some form or way, we are a rare breed!

Shit, I'm over here worried about how the smell from one, two, or heaven forbid three plants might be carried by the wind and be smelled from 150 yards away... (there's a very popular trail about that far away at its closest point).

That scares me enough to almost make me not want to plant there. But I've also got some C99 seeds for stealth purposes (apparently they're pretty mild on the smell front). I've got one spot where I want to put just one that someone will pass by a few times while mowing their fields. On one side it's about 50 yards' distance, about 35 yards' distance on two more sides. I'm debating not planting there at all.

Then again, perhaps I can only hope that the C99 doesn't stink much.

This reminds me of a stunted Revolver we had a couple years ago. It was only about 12" tall so I stuck it in the veggie garden, and I tell ya, it was the stinkiest weed we ever grew.

We had family over for a dinner and were eating on the deck and a very strong skunk smell hit us in waves. "That frigging skunk is back" I said. My wife chuckled because a few people bent over the railing to look for it in the bush. lol

have you added the topographic maps to google earth? would give you a better idea of the real layout of plots, i believe the us army has the us mapped pretty well, if not local university, forestry, geology, hunting/fishing or realestate agents would be able to provide you with links to better made local topo maps pluggins or link to a standalone map site.


google earth/bing to find places, local ordinance sites to fine tune.

I use GE, but I also use this I got from Troutman. It's only for Ontario Canada, but if we have it, sure as hell you have it in your state.
https://www.gisapplication.lrc.gov.o...M&locale=en-US

For a couple good local KML files, Google OntarioGeophysics.kml and OntarioGroundwater.kml

Btw, OntarioGeophysics one is for those who are into the magnetic field effects on seedlings

On that note, look at this:

Hey all first post here. Just read through this thread and wanted to say thanks to all who shared. It’s been a good read and takes me back to being a child reading adventure books if you will and my days in cub scouts now I think about it. Fuck our leader (arkaila) we called him put us on some serious self navigated adventures. I’m forever in his debt. anyway moving on.

I’ve done a far few guerrilla grows over the years mostly all sheight (i may be a little harsh on myself here) anyway none the less really beneficial to my well being both physical and mental.Anyway i’ve learned allot but not enough to keep fucking it up but i’m still keen at heart, body hmm...

Last grow i used led lights/ solar panels,12v battery, Just one hour of light at night to veg.

Grown in 50 to 200 litre pots. fuel drums for on site res and pump from a river 150 odd meters away.I hand watered , vegged them to a size and moved them or dragged a few meters away to flower. Motion cams in patch etc.

anyway this was about a mile away. Guerrilla grow ? to close to really feel like it tbh. Anyway i’m a paranoid cnut. So caught some dudes on camera and had to pull. wasn’t a big grow nor was it in the planning for one but served me a few lb. The one thing it was was a perpetual grow with the veg light thing. Tropics here more or less 12/12 all year and just one hour a night (led) to keep your greens in veg. Was allot of work to set up and all for sweet fuck all in the end.(all that fucking organic high brix method soil i mixed and carted in by hand ffs!)

Anyway that was the latest mehfuck over and done with and i’ve moved away from there.

Good thing about a GG is that even a city dweller if he knows his shit can sling on a backpack jump on a motorbike and do the mission whist regenerating his batteries (health) at the same time. Coming back to the city is fresh again as well with a clear head.

Hope to have an adventure to share but I might talk some shit here for some time whilst i get organised in the head and prep up again.

Further thoughts.....coming from recent self affirmations and ones i’ve always known to be true.

Grow in the ground.
It’s all about the leg work finding the ideal spot.
Ideal spot has ground moisture all year. Good stealth and sunlight (rocking horse shit yes).

I still have allot to learn though.

ok

I love the hard work you guys put into these gorilla patches. Reminds me of the good ol' days around here. Reeeespect!

Careful on too wet a spot, in some wet years I had root rot in a heavy clay soil. I dug it out real good and put in peat and compost mix but left the hole in the clay without a drain ditch. It sat soggy for too long and looked dry on top. After that year I went indoors with a 1k. This will be my first try outdoors in 6 years, I'm diggin in the side of a south slope and leaving good drainage. I know most worry about being too dry but I never lost a crop to dry weather. Stunted yes but not a total loss.
The other factor I experienced was choosing between early sun or afternoon sun. I had two good fertile spots one with morning sun and one with sun after noon. The morning site had less sun hours 5-6 than the western site 7-8. The eastern slope with same soil and clone did very much better.

#1 Good point and totally agree that was one of my first rookie mistakes lol. The good thing about a slope is you can shape up your dirt or trench away around your plant/plot to either conserve or give up moisture to some extent anyway.

#2 More good advice.Morning sun’s good for drying off any over night dew as well. Eastern slopes are best.
