Whats up?!

Let me start by introducing you to my dog, this is Bruno.



This photo is taken from a small urban plot in early January. It was taken right after I topped them and took clones of each plant for the second time. As a guerilla you risk losing every plant to a variety of challenges and to increase my odds of harvesting particular strains I am cloning and putting out in different locations.
Perhaps like this...



This area has direct line of sight from housing about 1km away. Im thinking about doing a 'few' mini's in this grassed area, open and sunny, any thoughts?




Most exposure comes from getting them in and out. Especially if I need to cage against rabbits which im 80% sure live in this area, Ive already lost a few uncaged minis but not these HeavyWeightFastNVast autos

Anyway...

Like I said, that first photo was from 3 weeks ago. This morning I went to see how the girls were doing.



All doing pretty well thanks to some regular rains, a couple of deficiency issues and few bugs around, mostly passion vine hoppers who seem to be all over the blackberry bushes.
I will most probably go back to take one last set of clones and prune lower growth to aide air circulation and promote mainlining.

Tangerine dream - growing a little slower than the rest but still green and healthy.



Pineapple chunk looking pretty good but some discoloured leaves.



Any thoughts on what this is?

Frisian Dew looking like it wants to take off.



Last but not least...
Money Maker after being this years candidate for supercropping.
If you notice from the 1st photo, she has recovered well after being manhandled last visit.



These plots are all within 50m of a public walkway, this will be a risk once flowering begins. Hopefully we can get as many of these girls in as possible.

More adventures to come... peace

Took me a while but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Just about gave up the journal...

looks great mate keep up the good work

So I thought I'd talk a little bit about a couple of plans I have for the grow this year.

Firstly, spots. I have a few different spots but they are all testers, first time growing there. I have done some scouting to find 5+ areas that can take 3-4 mid size plants. All spots are less than an hour drive and 15-30 minute walk. I have 0 dream spots at they moment but I'm always on the lookout - latest idea is "minis".

Secondly, genetics and seeds. There are no official seedbanks where I live so sourcing seeds or clones isnt easy and usually done by mail-order, with some paranoia involved, unless you know someone. I opted for mail, I could've asked around maybe but then people would know I'm growing.

This style of growing requires good strain selection. Long story Short, I made an order and got a few beans that I like for one reason or another. These include the ones above as well as Black Russian and Chronic Haze. I only got a couple FEMS of each and due to a late-ish start and expected losses I popped them all, and have taken a couple of batches of clones to ensure I can get as many across the finish line as possible.

With no seeds left I have plans to use CS to reverse some clones and make a few beans from the plants that impress me. If I had room to grow at my home I'd keep mothers.

With all the plots being within 50m of public walkways it's a good thing you took cuts when you did because those outside plots are all completely unsuitable for growing cannabis in the long term. They might be good for keeping some mothers outside in an emergency or something but a cannabis plant in full bloom unmistakably announces it's presence to the world and everyone around them will hunt them down given the faintest of whiffs on the wind.

I wish for your sake I'm wrong and you get a great harvest but if human nature is as predictable as I expect send me a PM and you won't have to worry about genetics for a while.

any not natural stands out...do you really need the cages?

i would also add more leaf matter around the plants...and use local sticks as stakes if needed

other tricks i used was never ever plant in a pattern...always random...usually up next to the north face of a bush,using the bush for protection, something to tie off too and is an excellent way to hide plants...

good luck
