I doubt chicken wire fence will stop them if ther're really hungry/thirsty. steel wool sounds promising but it doesn't stop rats from climbing up the plant. I've had broken branches from rats climbing up. also they can jump and climb like squirrels.

also they can jump and climb like squirrels.

Brown rats,the most likely your going to encounter are arboreal,i have seen them 10 feet up trees,chicken wire fencing wont stop them,traps or poisons will

i'd love to see a guerrilla subforum on ic!
definitly need it!

 

[Rob547]

Yeah, whatever happened to this idea and proposed subforum? (clearly nothing, but why??)

 

[idiit]

here's one great reason for a gerrilla subforum:

there are many topics specific to od guerrilla grows that intelligent focused comments could be of great value if found in one thread:

1). best strains. what criteria used to individually determine your best strain possibilities.i
2). best flowering and finishing windows in specific areas.
3). rat prevention ( actually dealing with growers who understand this is a huge issue). gets its own thread!
4) insect, pestillence, and "furry critters" proactive preventive treatments.
5). site preparation including best times to truck in those amendments.
6). avoiding aerial surveillance.
7). proactive escape plans (that work) from ground and/or areal pursuit.
8). avoiding a pattern of behavior ( multiple egress and regress that neighbors pick up on). draws heat from rippers and leo.
9.) understanding how the sun moves across the sky for optimum lumens while still keeping the patch hidden from the ground.
10). importance of fresh air ( breeze) in od grows: don't hide it so well the plant gets no air/sunlight.
11). how to build natural barriers and leave no trails that prevent rippers from easily finding the patch.
12). understanding how to work the law to your benefit ( a 5lb. plant in my area is no more illegal than a one ounce plant until it's harvested for example).
13). transplanting vs. straight from seed.
14). breeding for outdoor grows in your specific area including differentiating personal smoke strains from commercial strains.
15). essential maintenance vs. the dangers of unnecessary trips giving up your patch.
16). how a small indoor garden for transplants and breeding is valuable.

^ partial list. .

nice one idiit. feeling inspirational today ha?

probably much better that each subject has it's own thread. stickie or subforum even better.

buy the way what strains you're runnung this year?

 

[bajangreen]

16 is where i am @ right now!!!!!!!!

 

[bajangreen]

still waiting on a sticky

 

[Kygiacomo!!!]

Bump i know this is a old thread but where is all the guerillas at?

 

[DJbigbud]

good find gy

 

[BobbyIronsights]

Well this vote seems fairly conclusive.

 

[japdam]

85,92% voted for establishing a guerilla subforum!

What needs to be done to realize such a subforum?

Pigs need to fly first.

Wait a minute... Fuck. Somebody talk to Skip and get this in motion.

Don't forget cool pics.

I do envy the med state growers with their 5lb plants and pictures of the whole garden with nothing in the way to hinder the view.

BUT as a guerrilla nothing gets my attention more than seeing some really good swamp grows or pics from the bush. It feels like home.

It's like reaching an oasis.

Guerilla grow tales can be such epic thrillers. They can be so gripping and suspenseful to read/live. The locations and techniques used can be so unique and interesting. Why wouldn't there be a sub-forum dedicated to guerilla growing....

HORIZONTAL GROWING:

Quote:
is very invasive spotter plane / helicopter territory,

my dumb ass just reverse engineered the answer ^.

I grow in sandy mud when wet and just plain dirt poor soil for the most part to boot.

the large sativa bud laden plants keep falling over in the late fall ( the soil turns to quicksand when wet and the plants can actually spin some in this shit late flowering season) and any form of support is more easily seen by the aireal surveillance which is so severe it's beyond ridiculous. so my dumb ass says "idiit, trestle those puppies and they will have plenty of support horizontally ". the weight and also the profile of the plant are distributed horizontally.

then my dumb ass realizes I've also solved the aireal surveillance problem; plants interwoven into something like underlying large dead braches will not be as noticeable either.

place large dead branches under the plants and then weave them horizontally up along the horizontal length of the dead branch on the ground leaving the meristem low and supported by the length of the dead branch. trot line is black ( nearly invisible outdoors), incredibly strong and rot resistant. tie the meristem horizontally into the underlying dead branch. old school growers used to weave their plants into the fences and remark how ppl would drive right by and not notice the plants; profile gone. natural vegetation ( mostly weeds) will provide great cover for the branches as they shoot straight up towards the sun.

irrigation stakes like these are also possible. they hold real well. push the irrigation stake down into the ground, tie a piece of trot line towards the top of the meristem of the plant and gently pull the plant down and tie into the irrigation stake. these are dirt cheap at places like amazon. you don't want to place the irrigation stake over the meristem as it ( the plant's meristem) would then be too close to the ground; just tie into the embedded stake, placing something like small dead branch under the meristem for support and keep it up off the ground. as the plant grows repeat.

elegant solution me thinks.

the reason I said "my dumb ass is because I knew about this technique since 1970's but did not use it.

outdoor guerilla grow sites are hard to find. losing one once often means losing it forever as leo and rippers will come back to "found locations".

it really hurts losing an excellent outdoor grow location.

i'm losing half of my grow locations every year ( on average). the attrition from this alone is ball crushing.

i'm getting horizontal this year.
