growing on other people property...far away from stupid cunts..
If u intend to setup operations on someone elses land, 1) make sure your not growing on another growers property, cause if they find out and bust you, they could teach u a nasty lesson for growing on their property and potentially getting them busted. 2) if you intend to grow on someone elses property dont steal their water from any of their tanks, troughs etc, why? cause u could get busted doing it or they mite notice water levels in their tanks/troughs going down.
3) know the entire surroundings for about 15-20kms, use google earth to learn where all the dirt roads are and where they lead, you may need to make an emergency exit from the area one day!
4) carry a two-way radio or mobile phone with you, and a backpack & first aid kit that contains an emergency reaction card. You dont want to get caught out in the bush with a broken ankle or snake bit, miles from your car.
5) Backpack used to carry upto 8 litres of water per run, as well as your medical kit & some food, also bring a map of the area you are working in. Use google earth to print a map of your area. Carry this at all times in your kit, this can be used as a valid excuse such as being a bushwalker if u ever have to explain yourself, carry some binoculars too, this can also be used for cover, but most importantly use the bino's to scout your paths, tree lines, tops of hills and anything else you need too look at from a distance before proceeding any further to your operational site. Get used to using your binoculars every 2-3 mintues to scan your surroundings.
6) Listen for motorbikes & cars all the time. This cannot be stressed enough. It is surprising that from the time you hear a dirt bike in the distance, to the time is going past you can take 10 seconds. Not good if your loaded down and caught out in the open.
7) Wear camo clothing when out in the field. by this i mean real camo, NOT urban (black/white), safari flage, or artic camo - it looks like shit and u stick out a mile. Use tiger stripe, auscam, kahki, U.S desert camo or U.S multi-cam.
Carry on your utility belt: a large 2 litre water canteen, for your own personal use, and a decent sized army knife. You may need this to cut tree branches, string etc.
9) Grow in large pots, bigger pots require less trips to re-hydrate your interests. large = 2-3 feet in diameter to 1-2 feet deep.
10) Saturate soil in grow pots with anywhere up to 30 litres of water 1 week prior to transplanting seedlings into pots.
11) Use medium duty mesh to make a 'tree ring' to put around the grow pot and mesh on top of the tree ring to stop animals from reaching over and eating the heads/head off. Also helps keep birds and small tree branches from landing on your plants while growing.
12) Use minimal amout of natural foilage with maximum effectiveness when camouflaging your grow pot/tree ring. You should use a commando wire saw or small wood saw to selectively cut certain branches to carefully weave into the tree ring around your plant to provide a visual barrier. Dont over do it with the camo, too much will draw attention to your grow pot/tree ring, too much and it sticks out from a mile away.
13) Use different paths to ur site of operations
14) Limit 2 plants per site. Putting all plants in one spot means ur they get found u loose them all. Having multiple grows sites also increases the chances of being caught. Way up the options
15) Grow late in the season, lessens the chance of being caught. You can harvest 4 ounces from a plant grown in 14 weeks in a 12" pot if u keep the water up to it along with the correct nutrients given at the correct time, all organic, no need for hydro fertilisers.
16) Utilize scrim or hessian to help camo your grow pot/tree ring
17) Operate when no one is around, either at dusk, early morning or if u have too, at night. Instead of making weekend trips, try mid week.

Be carefully not to venture too deep into unknown bush, its easily to get lost if ur not trained.
19) Be carefull not to get busted by hunters, these guys go everwhere.
20) leave some a few dollars in coins somewhere right next to ur grow pot, if someone finds it they may take it, hence letting u know ur site is now in serious threat. Place a stick or rock in such a position that if someone comes along and finds your site of operations, you will know by the disturbance.
21) If your site does get found, cut your losses and run. Thats what gorilla farming is about. Dont be a fool or some hero and try and get the plants back, or protect them by going out there with guns or weapons, this will only cause more problems you dont need. The only people who use guns and man traps are hardcore bikies that are prepaired to kill people to stay outta jail. You dont want to go down that path.
If ur plants doo get found, the cops could already be on their way, you going back to move them too another spot before the cops arrive is a very risky mission, the people who found them could be still watching from a distance.
22) Have a very safe and secure location for drying the plants in. Warm air (around 24oC) and a slight breeze. Make sure rats & mice are not present in your drying facility. Lay some rat bait 2 weeks proir in necessary.
23) Smell is an issue when drying plants, make sure the smell does not escape from your facility that other people notice.
24) Dont give ur plants any fertilizer for 1 month before your expected harvest, and DONT EVER use any water soluble fertilizer to foliar feed your plants once they start to flower! Using water soluble fertiliser and then pouring it all over your plants will destroy the smoothness and herb taste of the buds when u smoke it. The fertilizer will stick to the resin sacks on the buds. Always water at the base of the plant when using fertilisers.
