Pictures of guerilla grows, and pictures of Monster outdoor plants begs the question...

Are you better off growing 50 gorilla style with minimal babysitting, or 5 in well prepared holes and tended to regularly?

Yield?
Taste?

The theory of growing in my mind is don't invest much in soil. The soil around here is pretty darn good. Why haul in peat moss?

From a profit perspective or net gain, the fact is very little can yield a lot.

Unless you will reuse the soil there is not much point in putting all that work and cash into it. There simply isn't enough gain to justify all of that work and money.

It makes the most sense to scatter plants around and not in any one area. Just keep them healthy and they do really well. If ya lose some than that is a security issue, not a profit issue. It's already so gainful.

Minerals are already in the earth/soil. They take a lot of time to become depleted. There may be a lot of NPK there as well. Spots I've tested are usually extremely high in potassium. So you can check that off your list of money to waste thinking it will magically be better bud. The market doesn't even work on who's got the greatest bud. It's not the key point. The key point of sales is ego and hustle, it's a game. A game I don't get involved in but was a consumer.

Also you don't really want people talking about how great your smoke is. That's a security issue. Or how horrible it is. Just general smoke that isn't much to get everyone all wet in the panties.

It depends a heck of a lot on the water situation.

And on the visibility from the air situation.

Also whether it's flat or on a hill-side.

Good forest cover. It's in a flat watershed bordering wetlands (but not swampy) so it should water on it's own.

I personally prefer growing fewer larger plants, I grow about 6-7 large plants but i don't grow large plants like cali I like 1-2lb plants or really a 10lb goal.

Where i live if someone finds a plant they will tear up the place for miles so its better to have fewer spots however the choppers seem to look in cornfields instead of openings in the woods full of thorn brambles. We have more cornfields than anything else and people often just run out and plant on the edges and hope for the best but it keeps them busy in the cornfields so I risk growing larger plants out in the bramble patches.

I think corn fields are stupid. They stick out like a sore thumb. If the cops don't find it, it turns out to be silage so it gets cut down by the farmer mid august. Only a seed crop is spared. Out here, everyone has a drone so there goes another patch. The only place left is the forest.

where i am if you prepare the holes there is some animals that come and dig up the whole hole.

I can live with that as long as plants aren't in it. I can leave them a shirasha surprise. lol

What size holes does everyone dig in respect to how long they veg for and the plant size they're going for?

This year I plan on using a 3x12 inch bulb auger with a cordless drill to dig 7x7 inch holes. I'm just trying to get a lot of holes dug with minimal work.
