Pre-watering holes?

Helloo,
My guerilla grow was found this year, but I wanna try again, go deeper this time into the woods. But i wanna eliminate ANY avoidable risks - one of which is people seeing you hiking up to your patch. So my basic idea is to dig holes and then pour a good 12 litres of nutrient solution. Im going with autos so i would repeat the process three weeks later with bloom nutes.
The idea is that this would eliminate the need to make countless trips to the plot for watering. In an ideal world id make only 4/5 trips.
Autos being pretty small wont have massive h2o needs. Also you have to factor in natural rainfall as well.
So...would this work do you think?
Cheers!

I think that would be a waste of nutrients as most of it would leach into the ground before the plant was able to make use of it.

You are better off just giving your plants a good 6inch mulch layer to increase water retention and reduce evaporation.
You can also look into hugelkultur mounds which basically you dig a small trench and bury a bunch of branches and sticks and cover it with soil. The decaying branches will provide moisture and nutrients as they get broken down by microbes. I havent tried this for a guerilla grow but had good success growing corn and other vegetables in my yard using this method...dont see why it would work any differently in the wild.

I too had a patch found this year. {That is why you do several patches} I have drawn up plans for a steel trashcan raincatcher rigged up with a spigot so I can use soaker hoses. I want to be able to hike the AT and grow at the same time.

Cheers the hugelkultur sounds interesting. Nice eco-friendly idea, thanks for the tip!

I've been using creek soil . where all the leaves and branches wash to and break down. That soil holds a lot of moisture. I have a lot of patches so if one gets stolen I still have plenty left .I have about 80 autos growing out bush now .

80 plants? Cripes. That must be a ton of work? How many sites do you have and how many plants per site?

I would recommend Osmocote Plus, a guerrilla's best friend. Just follow the directions. You may also want to consider some water retaining crystals. I still feel you will need to make at least 1 trip per week, perhaps two during heat waves.
