Ok I am a fairly expirienced grower going on 3 years now. I just have a few questions for an upcoming outdoor guerilla grow. In my area the helis fly hardcore and it is impossible to get away with patches or larger sized plots. So what I usually do is spread my girls out throughout a large area about 2 to 4 plants per plot sometimes even one. I tie all my plants down and top them a few times through theyre vegetative state however I stop during flowering but continue using lst. I usually dig about 2x2 holes and amend very little native soil with compressed bales of bacto or hydromix along with compost, water crystals, and oscomote time release ferts for a basic ammendment. I use higher nitrogen during veg and around flower till harvest i'll use bloom ferts and mollases and have been decently successful. This year in those same spots I extended my holes to 3-4ft wide and 2-3 feet deep. But my areas are always in thickets likes blackberry bushes, thick briars and very small trees. I use deep woodland to walk to the edge of these thickets and maybe enter anywhere from five to fifteen feet into the brush to avoid trails. The problem is the neighboring forest doesnt allow all day sun as to say if i were to walk deeper into the thicket but then id be more into the open. The trails isnt really a problem as i would still avoid them by crawling beneath the briars to get to my spots but then theyre in the open and would allow an easier spotting by the pot choppers. So i have a few questions. One, is it possible to grow in open thickets to allow more sun if i done many more plants and very small holes, which i figure would leave the plants shorter and smaller, yet allowing more plants? What techniques do you use to compete with the helis? I always feel the urge to go more open but the thought of getting some is better than losing all and giving my entire areas away. Please help me with this issue. Thanks!
