Hello everyone! I'm BACKCOUNTRY, you may remember me and my 2005 season from Overgrow.com. It was a pretty good season for me, and I hope to repeat and better this year.
A little about my area, I live in southwest Oregon. My area is pretty dry and hot through most of the growing season. Last summer we had over 80 days over 90F, and 11 of those were over 100F. Rainfall is almost non-existant from Ealy July to early September, this is one of the main problems I deal with, along with Deer, large numbers of Deer hunters, wood rats, loggers, surveyors, etc etc.
I grow mostly in the bush, under wild conditions, using natural cover and difficult terrain to protect my plots.
I prefer to use Organic methods to feed my plants, and I use water crystals to help retain moisture.
I have a wide range of different grows going on this year, all of them experimental in some way.
The type I have been waiting on all winter is what I call a Guerilla Auto-grow, for more info on it check my sig.I will be doing 2 of them this season, I would be doing 3 but had to abandon a 200 gallon water resivour I built for it after 2 ajacent properties sold, and heavy activity started showing up in this pretty isolated location, for more info on that check my sig.
Basicly the auto-grow system is designed to irrigate my plots without consatnt supervision, allowing me to plant in areas that provide great security, but no water. Also, it will allow me to stay away from my plants through most of the blooming season, which is also the bow and then rifle Deer seasons here. Huters are my main security concern here, especially since there are hundreds if not thousands of them tromping through most of the public and commercial timber lands here.
I also will be testing a product known as Dri-water, it is supposed to create water in the soil chemically as it decomposes. The company that manufactures it claims it can sustain many types of plants through the season when used right. Previous tests on OG by the Clone stranger show that it does seem to work, but is probably not cost effective for intensive cultivation. I intend to see how much it takes to take 2 plants through the season, I am sure it will be spendy, but damn it anyways.
I will be planting the bulk of my plants as low matinence grows. Basicly I will hike down into a rugged remote creek valley with as many plants as I can carry. I will look for out of the way places where water is obviously present throughout the season and the cover is good, I will also add a minimum of organic or non-organic fertilisers. Before I leave I will mark the spot with my GPS, I will return to check up on the plots atleast once through the season to pull males and confirm number of plants that survive the early season.
Also I will be putting a plant up in a tree, one way or another I will grow and harvest(I hope) at least one plant growing in a tree. Check for more info in my sig.
Anyways, welcome to my grow!
