First outdoor Guerilla Run - Super Soil/Near Water Source

[keysareme]

Ok, so I thought about it, slept on it, and decided, with confidence, to do this. I am a medical patient.

I have my seedlings, and as soon as I top them and their stalks thicken up, I am going to take them out to their new home.

It is a nice area, that has a small stream/water flow through it, and has a natural water pool to source any water I will need from.

I will be keeping the healthiest and best looking/feeling plants, and the rest will go outside.

I will make sure that they have at least 2-3 inches of good living super soil/compost around them, so that their roots can for sure at least establish in the ground, but from there it's all up to how nourishing the native soil is.

I think it's pretty good, everything in the area is lush and green, and there is the water source.

Sunlight from about 7am till 8 or 9pm right now.

any fish in that stream?

any fish in that stream?

Oh yea. Always lots of life in this pond. Lots. And when the stream flows through the whole space after lots of rainfall, it's very lively along the whole waterway.

fish = fishermen..........good luck

Oh, not those kind of fish, just small ones that feed of off insects and bacteria in the water. And yes lots of people. But also lots of Forrest space. Lots of space.

If there's lots of people, your gonna need more than luck.......you need to find someplace remote.....no people.

Yes I hear you man. I've put a lot of thought into this over many years. So now I am just going to do it.

The plants won't be anywhere on or off the beaten path so to speak, I can already see where I will spread these plants out at.

Someone would have to go looking to find them. And if that's what happens, I hope they find the males.

I've been doing grows outside for a while. I pick a spot that is right off a trail, but with no trails to it if that makes sense. I literally have to endure sticker bushes and thick cover to get to some of my spots, but they are oh so close to things they shouldn't be. I plant in a bunch of spots like this and have never been robbed or caught. It's more about random/hard access then remote. My feeling is they check they most remote places first. I try not to go to the spot unless it hasn't rained all week. If it rains once a week I try to resist checking them. Don't plant them in straight lines, and try to plant them on the south side of trees or other plants. I plant them in native soil, try to check/feed them once every two weeks, and I even plant where they only get 4-6hrs of sunlight sometimes. I've had great success keeping it simple like this. My indoor grow takes priority but I plant a handful outside each year-even if 4-5 plants make it out of 20 that's a huge come up in the fall for taking a hike once every couple of weeks-and not having to lug a ton of stuff to some remote location.

I shoulda put "people aren't gonna like this but..." at the begging of that post, but there aren't really any remote location near me so instead of remote I go for nearly impossible access.

This even more. Now I am way excited.

I also should of said I went the drive an hour, super remote, lugging 50lbs bags of soil for miles, lugging equipment for miles, digging 2x2 foot holes for each plant, visiting once a week to water/feed and feed route and it's an extreme amount of work considering a plant outdoors can easily yeild close to a pound without ever visiting it. Many a grower around here 'set it and forget it' and produce quality bud. They also lose a decent amount for the conveinence. I'm getting older, a 1/4 mile through dense sticker bushes once a week is all I can handle. I just wanted to say it's totally doable with native soil and a few visits.

Yea, I just want to bring the plants with me one time, and have that be that. Check on them once a week or so, if it's really hot maybe more often until I see they are off and growing. I'm sure the native soil is dense in nutrients, all the plants in the area are lush and green. From red cup into the soil.

One big thing I've found when growing in forrests is deer,and bugs that eat your leaves and racoons dig up young seedlings.

I use thorn branches to wrap around the plants pot or around the plot to keep away critters and safer soap for bugs.

Also i transplant plants like bushes, thorn bushes, and whatever else to help cover the perimeter from prying eyes.

For reals, landscaping, something safe but still discourages any attention, I think this area has plants that already look kind of like cannabis, but are not, so some of the spots should be real interesting, as I am going to spread the plants out for sure.

Animals and insects must love cannabis plants for some reason, I mean look at all the plants they have to choose from all year round, but no, they always wait for outdoor season to start gnawing down. I am hoping to just plant these plants safely enough to be decently protected, and if they do get at one, I hope it's a male.

Dog poop/pee, ferret(ask a local pet store) poop, human hair(ask a local barber), and chicken wire work pretty good-I've used all of these. I also try to piss around the area each time I visit. I also plant with the intention of loosing up to 75% of my outdoor plants. I'm usually not that un-lucky but have been in the past. I figure there is good chance you'll loose that much no matter what you do, so I try to keep it as simple as possible.

Animals love cannabis because it's very high in good fats and the new growth tips are flavorful with an inviting texture.

If slugs/snails are a problem, a circle of lime or a square of copper piping(my buddy made a bunch of these and puts them around each clone he plants outside) and they won't cross it, or so I'm told. My buddies in the area do a lot of preventative but I've never had slugs or snails. Apparently you don't want them though.

^^^All of that, except planning on loosing plants(and pissing when I visit, lol), was too much work for me. My indoor grow takes up a lot of my time/priority.

Yeah piss and dogfur that was a big one for me, also my dogpisses back there but he's fixed so I wonder if his pee even carries testosterone

 

[keysareme]

Happy seedlings, one still has yet to show itself, but it's germinated.

13 more to the left still trying to figure out that they are seeds and supposed to sprout.

One of the seeds had two plants sprout from it, so I took them a part and gave them each their own root riot.

The smaller of the two even decided to grow, it's awesome.

Don't tell him that hah.

Put the plants outside on Sunday. Left them out over the chilly night, seemed fine on Monday. They have been in full sun for two days now. Hopefully they have hardened off, and will continue to grow. It's been a slow growth for all of them since germination. I guess that's what you get when you choose the smallest seeds of the batch you have. I might as well just throw the rest of them outside and let them sprout up. At this rate they may germinate, and be right in rhythm with the seedlings. They may even sprout up and outgrow the now nearing two week old seedlings that are still working on their first set of true leaves. Looks like 2 might not make it, either too much time on the heat pad, or too cold of water when I was re-hydrating the root riot cubes and shocked it's root, but those two may still grow, they stand on their own, and are above the soil surface. I always understood the value of planting quality seeds, and this recent planting of the smaller seeds from the batch proved that even furthur. They have been slow to grow so far.
