Although relativly rural, the neighbors are not friendly so what do I do, go 1 mile or 10 or 50? Any spot may be owned by a cop or agent so how do you gorilla growers do IT? Maybe not ape enough but would love to find out and hope this is really a thread to help those left behind knowledge wise! I look forward to reading the rest but damn have a huge head start on me don't know if I will ever catch up!

it's a gamble and a 1/2 if you don't own the land..(i do not own the land)...the amount of time and work put in will be reflected at the end of the season w/your harvest...direct correlation...i'm not young anymore and "this" stuff is work

hello, i would like to ask a few questions for the experienced guerilla growers please, i didn't prepare my soil yet, i need to test the ph of my soil to know if i must add some dolomite lime and i would like to add some organic fertilizer too, a 7-6-12+4Mgo, is it too late to do that ? i want to plant in 3 or 4 weeks

i have a second question, i read the greatness of mulching and i would like to know if its possible to mulch with dried bramble as my guerilla patch is a jungle of 3 meters brambles and i cut lots of them. thank you

I have never been too concerned about soil pH outdoors in the ground.
Look at all the weeds, plants and trees growing around your grow spot.
If they all look like they're lush and doing well, you're good to go!

When you say "brambles", you're not talking about sticker bushes are you?
That would be pretty hard on your hands.
Otherwise, YES, if they are all dried out, try to break or chop (with a machete) them up into small (2 or 3 inch) pieces if you can..
It would make a suitable, but probably not the best, mulch.

Have some 90's in the forecast. Gonna have to water this weekend. Its a challenge. I hope they look better soon. Hauling water is not easy!

yep gonna be hauling out water myself but i did a few things different this year.. i added a bunch of water polymers large size to my holes and i also used a 2 inche black pipe and i stuck it into the ground in my hole and then filled the hole in..it waters st8 to the roots and i have already noticed a differnce in how effective it is..i suggest it to anyone..

hello Bud Green Sr, well i took a sample of the soil yesterday and tomorrow i will test the ph with a ph kit, you are probably right but i want to be sure and im curious to know too, all the brambles are in flower right now it must be the blackberry bramble and they are fuckin huge, 3 meters and some have a diameter larger than a shovel handle, i will post some pictures soon to show the jungle of bramble it is, its one acre of brambles. ok so its cool for the mulch i will try to use what i have and break them in small pieces, i will have to play with the hedge trimer again lol

have you any idea about the preparation of my soil ? im late i know

I'm questioning the results and practicality of it. It seems to me that it would be much easier to maintain/ hide 60 small plants than to care for 10/20 monsters? Also the smaller profiles would really seem to be more efficient in blending in. And the potential for an early harvest around August seems like it would be a no brainer for guerilla growers. Idk I'm a little new to this site and may have missed the examples where people actually did it. Thanks for any info I really appreciate it

Yes it works very well. I have tried and succeeded a few times actually. Really if you start seedlings indoor right now under a 18/6, 20/4, 24/0 light cycle and veg until mid July or even the beginning of July and place outside they usually go straight into flower as well. A good tip is to hit them with a good dose of a high P fertilizer/nute for flowering as soon as you plant them in!

They were growing so fast and now they have funny cupped/ twisted growth and a couple burnt leaves. I watered them twice after seeing them and we got a thunderstorm the next morning. I think they'll be ok... New growth looks good. I will get some shots this weekend.

liking this thread. Yawnnnn out of time once again... Have a good one!

Heat is on the way! 90's coming soon here!

Definitely sounds like too much water bro and maybe not enough drainage or possibly just a large amount of water at one time. Have they recovered well wet? I agree, where I am at we have had plenty enough rain but i'll say that now and then it will stop raining and i'll be fighting a drought! Lol... Just curious, did you lime your plot? Ever checked the ph of your soil? (Even though I have never once used a ph test in any indoor or outdoor grow in my entire life, I learn by feel, not instruments) it could possibly be a ph problem?

Sound perfect Santa! I do this as well, holes and containers of all sizes! Smaller are better in very open fields and along visible planting areas, light lst or simply just tying a large competing plant to the side really helps as well at keeping things on the DL. I am actually gonna try one or two 100 gallon container grows for my first time, haha California style in the good ole Appalachia!
