First grow, a little overwhlemed! (PICS)

[ink13jr]

Hello! I started my first grow, I started a little late, and wanted to get them into the ground asap. I germinated 5 seeds, and 4 sprouted. I put them under a cfl for now (14w or something like that lol) and they actually started out pretty good, let them sit in there for a few days, but them put them in my window (i am on the third floor, which is one of the highest out of all the condos here, and they got somewhat sun there) but I did it, because I didn't have a fan in where the cfl was (in a unfinished cabinet i started and never finished) and after a few days, they were growing pretty good, got the second nodes, so i decided to finally plant them in the ground. The place I wanted to put them in, was a far place, and at the moment, i don't have a good means of transportation to there, and it would be a little awkward carrying things to the spot, since it was in a place where there are trails, so me and my friend set out to find the closest, best place. so we found this place...(first three pictures) and we planted them, not really prepping, really wanted to get them in. the day after we got them in, it rained for probably 12 hours straight. I was scared, and checked out the plants right after, and they were pretty bad.. I did what I could, and propped them up, and cleaned off the mud from the leaves, and they look pretty good today besides one of them, doesn't look like itll survive but I still propped it up. (last 4 pics) I also just happened to get some goodies, (purple, unknown strain, really nice) and a seed fell out of it, and i was pretty happy. Its sitting in a cup of water with a few drops of bleach to get the water in there. Should I bring them back in, and let them mature a little more, and also try to prep the site a little more? If so, what should I do? it is a wetter area, which is what I wanted so I didnt have to take trips all the time to water and just let it do its thing, and also wanted to lst to maximize yield, and also for stealth. I want to make it as less as conspicuous as possible.

Also, those whitish spots you see, was some mud i didn't get off.

Good luck with it! I plan a guerilla grow myself at some point, so I will watch this thread with interest! Please do keep it updated.

Thank you, yeah I wouldn't consider this a guerrilla grow, just a few plants.

They r seriously small for such a transplant but good luck

I say depending on where you live you probably have no chance of frost so the seedlings should be fine. Can't guarantee that animals won't eat them but aside from that you should be ok.

Yeah there's not gonna be another frost, east coast. Ive been urinating around the spot, and also put dead pricker bush branches around them to stop animals from eating. I need to get some mothballs, and fishing line. There seemed to be no animals interested in the spot, right next to it is a pass thru for them, but I didnt see any tracks leading to the grow spot

As will be mine, I mean guerilla in the sense it's on some public land somewhere in a stealthy place

I've done four harvests, guerrilla style, in the late 90's, and it's kinda frustrating, not easy at all. I had the best luck with growing up in the trees (nobody ever saw them) painted camouflage buckets using wick-style irrigation, with cotton ropes into another bucket full of water. Get some cross-linked polymer crystals to help with water retention, You won't get great results, but it'll work, just gotta figure out how dry it'll be.
and it's a bitch to climb the trees with a plant in your hands, not to mention dangerous, it's a "buddy-system" and pulleys work well, just cover the tracks and check every 10-14 days, depending on the dryness. For me, the more sativa, the better, they were less obvious, just don't get like a 90 day plant.
I'm always partial to the blue dream where they'll be growing under less than optimal conditions, it's really resilent. And it's not quite so "bushy" as the indicas.
If possible amend the soil pretty well, but not too much.
BUT the bright side (pun-intended) is that the tops of trees get a lot of un-interrupted light.
course it doesn't look like there are any big trees in your photos...or containers for that matter.

That seems like a decent idea, but I dont have the resources to do that right now or time, so maybe next year, but the opposite end (behind me from pic of building on hill there are a shit ton of trees I could possibly do it on.

ohh okay, yeah, haha good luck! Whats your setup?

honestly I don't recommend it, but it did get me the best results under the conditions, they did get some chunkiness to them up in the trees, but I think i'm spoiled now, I just have to go out to my shed/barn and there they are. I think we got around a KG total off 6 plants, 5 healthy and one kinda stunted. That was a lot for back then, now days you might even be able to rig up a solar panel to an aquarium pump/reservoir and feed it daily, that is out of my expertise, but solar panels are getting more and more efficient. I've always kinda fantasized about digging an underground indoor growing compound and putting solar panels to keep them off the panel, but I've kinda looked into it, and the batteries/panels to support the 115v and roughly 30 amps would be insane, and the cost alone would be well into six figures, but hey, a guy can dream, maybe in 5-10 years when we get better at solar technology
