Water Table Underground Issues?

It will layer like this:

Organic Matter (top)
Clay
Silt
Sand (bottom)

If it's high in clay and silt + low in organic matter you'll have drainage problems. Should help with figuring out how much compost + perlite to add.

I'd skip the bags and just plant straight in the 10 gal holes.
Not sure if I will need any compost, the soil seems pretty close to the texture and color of compost to me, I guess I'll see by your homemade test. The spot will get about 10 hours of direct light at the summer solstice, any idea how big they will get? Strains I'm using are White Widow x Northern Lights, Jack Herer, and Super Skunk. Also any training techniques I should use for better yield or no?

Thanks for your input, do you recommend any training techniques for outdoor? strains I am using are super skunk, White widow x Northern Lights, and Jack Herer. I've also never grown outside so I have no clue how big they are gonna get, the spot i chose will get about 10 hours of direct light at the summer solstice.
You'll lose some light by fall/harvest, but 10 hours is a good start.
As far as training, yes, I dont like to climb a ladder to check for pests/mold/mildew lol. Supercrop/tying down will keep them a little more low profile and easier to do maintenance on. Being a guerilla grow, you may not want tall plants.

Haha nice, always a good sign when you see predators like that. Hopefully he scares away /eats any pests before they even come close to the plot. If a rabbit or any small animal steps foot in my backyard, my husky is on it quicker than you can chug a cold beer on a hot day!! Lol
Always wanted a husky or a Doberman man. I wanted to ask if you implement any training techniques for growing outdoor, as well as how big I can expect the plants to get. the spot I got should get about 10 hours of direct light at the summer solstice. Strains I'm using are Northern Lights x White Widow, Jack Herer, and Super Skunk.

There's really a lot of factors that can go into the size. Mostly if your thumb is green and the weather is good :D. Do they need to stay low?

When I was guerilla growing I topped early and often to keep them bushy.
The forest has many oaks and bushes, as well as some maples. I'm just trying to get them as big as possible since it's realistic to expect some of the branches or plants won't make it to the end.

Yeah, dogs really are a guerilla growers best friend. Especially if you give them some meat to eat and lots to drink, then bring him with you to the grow. Have him do his duties all around the plot and will help deter animals, saves cost on repellent

The size of the plant all depends on what you put into it. Genetics, planting date, sun exposure, and many other components all play a part in the equation. All depends on how big you want them.

Some solid strains, I would start them now if you haven't already. That's part of the secret to monster plants. Hopefully they legalize it soon where you're at, so you can just throw some 4 footers in the backyard mid May and call it a day.

I'm probably not gonna until two weeks before may when the weather won't get below 55 F at night since I dont wanna be carrying each plant out one by one and instead carry a bunch of 1.5 week old seedlings in a smaller container.

Sounds like a plan. Wish you the best in your grow, you should do a journal on it. If you put them in one gallon pots it wouldn't be that bad to pack em out 2 at a time and just stagger the planting dates. Best bet is to have a few different plots, to help stack the odds in your favour.

If you haven't grown jack herer before I must warn you that it may not finish in time. I've grown it and smoked a ton of it, one of my favourite strains. I heard there's an indica pheno but I've never seen it, one I grew was like pure sativa in growth and effect, stretched like it was doing yoga lmao and took a good 10-11 weeks. The other strains will be done in time though.

Hope the Ganja God's rain big fat juicy buds on you come October.

How far above the ground should the mound be? I was gonna start seedlings about 1.5 weeks indoor before transplanting out there. Not sure if the dolomite lime is necessary since the pH rests about 6.5 and rich soil contains lots of Ca and Mg
Do not worry about soil pH. You say waterbed underlies this topsoil. WTH is waterbed? Clay? If it’s clay you might as well use a grow bag sitting on the ground. Come rainy season that beautiful black dirt will be gumbo. Only horsetail or cottonwoods can grow under those conditions

Never bring a dog to a guerilla grow,one snap or crackle its off running or worse barking I always used lots of dog hair an shit just carry it out an spread.

Hi guys, I am trying to start a guerrilla grow this year out in the woods. The spot is probably a quarter mile off of a horse trail and the area is completely surrounded with sticker bushes. I dug a few holes underneath hay that has been laying there for decades (used to be where my dad and his friends got messed up lol) and found pretty black soil that had many worms in it and crumbled apart pretty easily (pic below). It is slightly acidic. However, there seems to be a waterbed about a foot down into the soil, and I am wondering if this will cause problems for me. Also, can anyone tell me if the soil is good? I figured I could mix in perlite and top dress with all purpose.

Get some 18 gal totes cut the bottoms out bring them to your spot dig holes deep enough to bury half the tote fill with what ever you got an away you go. This will protect from most flooding if your lucky may never need to water just a topdress every 10 days works here in maine we get steady rains most summers.

It's not for everyone, but we all have our own methods. My dog seldom barks. I'd rather bring him more times than not. He's well trained, and his ability to alert me to any potential threats is a valuable asset. If some shit went down, he's got my back. The best part? He'll never tell anyone. For him, it's take it to the grave.

He definitely loves his cbd dog treats!! :bigjoint:
