Damn. Yeah it's nice when people cooperate and don't feel the need to snitch out, but like you said...there's some pretty heavy incentive not to. That's hard as hell man. You don't have to worry about fly overs and all that?

Nope caged up with shadecloth
Would not be able to see thru the shadecloth from a fly over
Even someone operating a remote control drone wouldnt be able to see what's in there
I sacrificed a little bit of available sunlight to keep it stealthy but I'm still able to push 1lb to almost 2lb plants if they are in ground and im more than happy with that as I do a few other strains at a friend's farm which we split

Well that could work right? That sounds like it would be much better than drying under tarps anyway. Does anyone ever go in them or?

Since a couple of my patches got found, I have been worried about being watched. I think I will be alright, but not wanting to risk a whole harvest in a known structure. But like I always do, I will make a game time decision. I still have a couple of stealth camps that will do in a tight.

Well... Bud rot is on a rampage.

I was trying to wait until they were done but this rain and cold weather came out if nowhere. So much for finished plants. Looks like I'll be chopping early. I'll have a more in depth update later if I can swing it. I have to finish situating my drying location. Not 100% finished with it yet.

I think I'll be lucky if I get over an oz at this rate but at least I don't have PM...

But I changed my jocks after that lol

I feel my sphincter clench every time I see a cop. Especially if they're doing laps up the street. Even more still when they come knocking on my door, while I was just out the back repotting some of my ladies.

You just about heard the brick hit the deck when I spotted those fuckers at the door.

Man that fuckin sucks. I haven't seen any of those problems yet. And hoping I never do. Though. I won't be surprised if I get fucked up the ass by it with how the weather has been this year. Gotta keep the fans on to stop the rh climbing in the cab.

Well I have what looks like a reveg/wack pheno situation on my favorite plant, I have critters stomping my crop, I have bud rot out the ass, slugs trying to make a comeback...

Dude, fuck Guerilla growing. Too many uncontrollable variables for this ocd fool. I'm going indoor until I can get to a more "accepting" location.

Lol. Let me rephrase. If I was in an "green" grow zone, I would totally grow outdoors. I would be able to have them nearby, train them how I want, brew teas, have a systematic IPM, and in general be able to learn on a daily basis. Growing like this only allows you to do the bare minimum to hopefully not get shafted by nature, or nature, or thieves or nature.

I am not, by any means, saying that all guerilla growers do the bare minimum but there are tricks to the trade and I can tell that it takes trials and misfortune before you can get as good as the Veterans on here. Even still, catastrophe can strike and all you can really do is roll with the punches.

I gave it a the good ol college try and I have learned that this style growing is not for me. There's my silver lining!

On that note, I'm still going to see this to the end and try to get some smoke out of this so stick with me if you want to see some larf porn later!:dunce:

@getawaymountain @too larry @ruby fruit @MiddlerGuerrilla @thumper60 You guys have any uplifting words/pointers for a first time grower getting dumped on?

There's half the uplifting words bro getaway is a veteran of outdoor guerilla and also has need strains suitable that flower fast with semi automatic traits that don't mold etc.
You would do yourself a favour to get hold of some of his strains if your gonna give it another crack guerilla style.
I've only ever done one guerilla plant got nearly not enough for the effort I put in but it taught me one thing...guerrilla growing is a hard gig and I got plenty of respect for those guys

We have all been through it. Never feels good when your season goes off the rails. If it is any solace, mine is not much better this year. Of the 3 shit/skunk crosses I have left, 2 of them have rot already. 2 of my patches were found, which is not a big deal as far as the loss of the plants. But it takes 2 of my best spots out of the rotation for a few years.

Like GM said, strain is the key. My Jack Carlos Cross strain {CP1, CPDA, Slo2, etc} is tall and lanky, and doesn't get ripe until November, but doesn't have the problems all my bought seeds have had. I do need to cross some early genetics with it, but it looks like I will have to lean on it pretty heavy unless I want to spend all my time cutting out rot.

Thanks man. I know being all negative and pissy isn't going to fix a damn thing so I might as well be happy that I'll get anything at all. I'll definitely be running Getaway's genetics next time if there is one. Might be changing location by the next outdoor season though so I'm crossing my fingers for not needing to do this whole song and dance. Either way. Good hardy genetics are good Hardy genetics. Outdoors or not, so I'll be getting a hold of some for sure.

Well i still think it's a shame your spots got pinched. On the bright side, that Florida warmth will keep your girls happy for a good while. Plus you have a pretty solid plan of action it seems like so I look forward to the updates.
