That's like saying, I've never been an electrician before but i'm going to wire up a block of flats using a three phase system. :spew:

Yeah I was only kidding about the going home thing.

but i do think your expectations are ...well....high lets say.

Some peeps think that all you gotta do is go out find some good locations and drop and bunch of seeds.

To get anything worthwhile take a lot of effort so you would be better off cutting that down to AT LEAST half but being a beginner I would only start with 25 max.

I did 50 one year and it worked out great BUT it was a LOT of tremedous hard work. I was just fortunate to have rain every single weekend that year.

will some one please tell me what I am getting myself into and not just tell me how stupid I am. Other than watering, weeding, sexing and harvesting, what else does it take to have a successful guerrilla farm?

how about someone who isnt off their meds? Bro, you have NO IDEA what you are getting yourself into, not only is that damn near impossible for MOST people, but the reprocussions of that kind of grow are outrageous, that is an easy federal offense with a min of ten years, not only that, 100 plants outdoors is just stupid, deer, passerbys, and millions of other things can murder your crop. A SOG indoors would be more recommended, but you will definitely need more experience than a first time grower. Did I mention, that successfully growing 100 cannabis plants will provide MASS yeilds which considering, that you are making such a bold and retarded statement as doing it, I cannot see you having ANY idea of what to do with 100 plants worth of pot. And on a final note, you definitely didn't give yourself ANY kind of reputation coming ont he site as a FIRSTTIMER and saying some dumb crap like that. My advice to you is to chill out on the ritalin and red bull and sit back, smoke a blunt and then read your ass off to learn a little bit and start your first grow small. Like, 1 plant kind of small.

Booo...booo to all you nay sayers.....they laughed at Galileo, they laughed at Columbus....they laughed at the Wright brothers! I say go for it, what's the worst that can happen?....you fall flat on your face and learn a lesson?.....like you can't grow dope at 11,000 ft because of the intense UV rays. And you can't hide 100 plants no matter where you are on this planet. Or you get busted and go to jail.......big deal...the US (I'm assuming you're from the US) has the highest per capita rate of incarceration in the world. With some luck you'll be hob nobbing with politicians and business men.
On the other hand you may grow the finest weed in history and become the "POT KING OF THE WORLD".(That's sort of like the "GREAT PUMPKIN".)


I better go to sleep, I'm kinda high....................

I have no idea about growing weed that high up and don't know if you could do 100 plants or not. I just know I have done approx. 50 plants and it was gruelling labour. But most of my plants were grown in foresty type areas where there were plenty of roots and the soil had to be ammended.

Each place I search for was hidden away, got plenty of sunlight and had a water source close by. I took all my gear in there for months and had to start months ahead of time when most of the ground was still frozen. Maybe this is where the difference lies. PLUS I had never grown any type of known strain, so if you have a good strain that is perfect for your area perhaps it could be done. I don't know.

Here is what I had to do.
Start finding locations and digging holes. I dug them at least 2 feet deep for great root growth and then when i replaced the soil added some things like perlite, bonemeal, organice nutes, that stuff that makes the soil fluffy...my mind is stuck here)
Anyway i couldn't add things like bloodmeal or many other organic nutes because then you get animals digging up your plants.

I just made sure they had a lot of depth and that the soil was loose enough for the roots to grow eaily.

Sorry to sound so negaive on the idea but it really is a lot of work and perhaps a lot of peeps here just know the effort that has to be put forth.

Good luck all the same.

Oh the males will show their sex before the females BUT you really need to be on top of that. The difference in sexes is in the F.A.Q.'s.(with pics)

I've had time to think this over and concluded that you cannot grow at 11,000 feet.
That's pretty much timberline and NOTHING grows above that except maybe lichen. Virtually all plants are perennials there. Look around in the warmest month, no leafy annuals (like pot) mostly pine trees. The temperature swings are too great. It can freeze any month of the year. One freeze and your crop is history. If it doesn't freeze, the temperature range overall will be way below parameters for cannabis. Severely stunted plants at best.
Sorry.

Just use a plant that originates from the Himalayas in the first place as it will adapt more quickly to its environment.
If you want a decent yield though you will have to find a way to increase the oxygen supply to the plants:blsmoke:

-sigh- I find it terrifyingly hilarious when people encourage stupid and/or dangerous activities. We all laugh when the shit hits the fan for the person that did it, but we should be protecting fellow growers from idiocy not encouraging it no?

Stop shaking your head thinking you know it all and do some real reading:roll:
The guy said he would do it anyway,even if it is dumb and crazy so we should help him in his adventures as best as we can instead of laughing at him and laughing at the advice that people give.:blsmoke:

The Colorado Life Zones or Transition Garden depicts five of the major bioregions in Colorado. This garden was planted with the support of the Broadmoor Garden Club and the Colorado Tree Coalition and includes signage that asks “Where did all the trees go?” From left to right, the hillside progresses from grasslands to Alpine Tundra. In Colorado, the Grasslands are classified as the ecosystems generally found under 6,000 feet in elevation, while the Shrublands are 6,000 to 8,000 feet, the Montane Forest from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, the Subalpine Forest from 10,000 to 11,400 feet, and the Alpine region above 11,400 feet
