rangerdanger's Guide To Guerilla Growing

Yeah you can "bury" containers but imo if you go at least half deep go the rest of the way (ideally 3' deep) and don't use a container at all.

Marijuana requires water a min of 2x/week. If it doesn't rain you must bring water to them.

 

if your only goin 3" deep, why do u make it sound like such a chore to dig holes?

if u just leave a good shovel at the site that seems like it would do the job easy


[not bashing u or trying to insult u, just questiong the work of dragging lots of pots into a site rather then 1 shovel]

 

First of all, it's not 3" (inches) deep, it's 3' (feet) deep. That's up past your knees.
Second, digging holes out in the woods ain't like digging a hole in your backyard.
It can be extremely hard work, and sometimes you may need a pick.
A good place to grow is about 15'--30' from a stream. Bring a piece of rebar or similar and poke it in the ground to find a place that's easy to dig.

 

A dose of THE REAL WORLD:
Seed sales are protected by UN treaty
Conspiracy to grow marijuana is illegal; seeds, per se, are not.

I'm bitting my tongue...!?!?

 

shut up.

k so 3 feet deep, now i understand


what do u say about building in an area which is "swampish" with lots of peat moss etc. on the ground wich seems to stay naturally damp

 

"Swampy" area's, or places where the ground is usually moist (like next to a stream or water source) are bad choices for planting in the ground.

Marijuana thrives in area's where the soil dries out occasionally.
If you choose to plant there, use a plastic or other non-pourous container, elevated on rocks/bricks/etc. so the container has adequate drainage.

 

this question is a little forward but probably my main concern with this whole growing setup, all i'm looking for is a yes or no answer and then i can wait till u get there but, is it possible to cure and dry the weed outside as well?

 

"is it possible to cure and dry the weed outside as well?"

Probably not in the way you mean it.
It depends on the ambient hujmidity of where you live. In rare instances I suppose the humidity would be just at the right level (I wouldn't know what that is) that hung upside-down under trees it might dry slow enough to avoid that harsh "hay" taste.
And curing almost certainly has to be done inside. Someplace where the jars could be stored for a few weeks (with daily visits to vent) and be protected from sunlight and tempeture extremes. A shed might work, the corner opf a garage/basement/attic would be ideal.

NOTE:
In Columbia and parts of Mexico, marijuana is dried and partially cured outside, in piles.
The buds are placed in piles in full sunlight, and "turned" (like compost) frequently (at least once/day).
But this is very tricky and require humidity be low enough to keep the buds from drying to fast yet not moist enough to cause mold.

Be inventive. I've heard of pot being dried in the trunk of an abandoned car sitting out in a field. And tool sheds, and chicken coops.
Be aware though--pot has a very strong odor when drying.
Not until you container them for the cure can you control the smell.

 

bah...and those ways doing it outside sound sketchy, obviously if i was gonna take the time to do all this i would want to do it right..

gonna have to find a good place to do all these after-steps

 

TTT

are u going to get into like planting the seads, how to tell male/female etc.???

sorry for being so impaticent but my planting time is coming up on myself very quickly and my main source for info is this thread

 

Calm down.

I'm taking this step-by-step. I will post everything you need to know to turn seeds into pounds of dank, when you need to know it.
It's not time to plant seeds yet (unless your starting inside).
Unless you're growing from clones, you're not gonna be able to tell sex until late-Aug.
So patience mi amigo, I'll be here when you need me.

Early on I recommended reading a grow guide, that will give you a good grasp on growing.

 

recomend any certain books?

 

the marijuanan bible, this is his site so you can just click on the flashy thing above. or get it at amazon.

 

I posted several sites in this thread that are good resources.

 

I took out 12 grizley bears with one shotgun shell once! I was walkin threw the woods one time when I suddenly found myself surrounded by a PACK of wild snarlin grizleys. I didnt have a gun or NOTHIN! Then I spoted an old rusty shotgun shell sombody musta dropeed a while back or somethin. The bears were closin in on me and tightinin theyr circil so I grabed the shotgun shell off the ground, tore it open, dumped the bukshott down my throat and chugged my beer on toppa it. I shook my belly like a madman and PEED THE BUKKSHOTT OUT at such a great force that it took out 12 of the closest bears and the rest ofem ran like cowards! -so Dont tell me ya cant take out a bear with a 22, I took 12 out with nothin but a shottgunn shell and my dick !

 

Im sorry Folks. I couldnt control myself. It really didnt have so much to do with my dick, it was more the bukkshott and the Budweiser! Blessins

 

Peeps, it's almost here.
The Vernal Eqinox (days & nights of equal length) in Mar 20 this year.
It's not time to plant outside yet but will be soon.
Do you have all your stuff?

SEEDS
For someone who has never grown anything I recommend whatever seeds you can get your paws on. Obviously you want seeds from the best pot you can.

For those who HAVE grown stuff before (tomatoes, etc.) consider buying Northern Lights (NL) seeds from a seed bacnk.
NL is imo the best strain to grow whether experienced or beginner.
It's very hardy, very forgiving of mistakes.

 

Can all NLs be used outdoors so?

 

Spring has finally sprung.
There may still be snow on the ground where you are (like here), but it won't last long.
Winter, which began just before x-mas, is finally over and what a looong freaking 3 months it was!

Now it's time to start getting this show on the road. The road to marijuana independence.
Hope you've got all your shit together.
Starting within the next few days I'll begin making posts re: beginning for reals.

 

The most critical factor in outdoor growing.
If you can't grow in your backyard safely, you're gonna have to choose a remote place.
The more remote the better.
Because even if you have a dozen plants with branches sagging with pounds of bud, it's all wasted time & effort if you go out to water (or worse go out to harvest) and find all your shit gone. It's happened to me 8 or 9 times, even in moderately remote places.

General
Ideally you want to choose someplace where you can park without being seen from passing cars.
Cause leo's and rippers aren't stupid.
If they see a car frequently at the same place they will be pretty certain that you may have a grow nearby and start looking for it. And some leo's and rippers are excellent trackers.
If there's no place like that, you'll have to park someplace where there are lots of cars (like a popular trailhead) so your car won't stand out.
A love of the outdoors, a desire to have pounds of weed for pennies, and an MP3 player all help tremendously on a long hike.
On any trail there are usually lots of side paths.
YOU NEED A TRAIL GUIDE AND COLORED STRING FOR THIS NEXT PART (GPS's are good too but not necassary). Hiking guides are especially important because they show streams/lakes, etc and tell you whether they are seasonal or year-round.
Walk about a mile or 2 in and start looking for side trails. Take the path less traveled (and mark the junction with a bit of colored string). Try to take as many side paths as possible.

What To Look For
You want a clearing that has a full view of the southern, eastern and western sky (for sunlight). There can be lots of tree's to the west. That's ok because they don't block the sun. Old cabin site's are usually excellent choices because there's already a clearing.
You want to be close (but not next to) a water source. You don't want to be right next to water source because water atrracts both 2 and 4-legged animals.
Unless it rains you will have to bring water to the plants. A 6' tall plant in full veg will drink up to a gallon of water every few days, and water weighs over 8 pounds per gal.
The best way to transport it from a nearby water source is in a green or brown 5-gal plastic bucket. Scoop up water and lug it back.

You also want a way to get in and out of your grow area without leaving a path. Rockhopping or walking on gravel is a good way to not leave a path. Avoid area 's that have you walking through grass.

A clearing does not always mean completely clear. There can be bushes. In fact, bushes are an excellent cover.
