    Anyone who's read some of my posts knows I like to give people info to get killer bud for a few bux/oz.

    It's less than 3 weeks to the longest daylight of the year.
    Starting June 22, the daylight will be getting shorter all the way to x-mas.
    If you want a full harvest, it's important to get the seeds in the ground asap, otherwise you'll have to wait a year to get almost free buds.

    90% of people live within a hours drive of a nat'l forest or wilderness/abandoned area, and 90% of people either have a car or know someone who does.

    I would NEVER advocate selling (which is a whole different ball game). However, let's talk simple economics.

    Costs:
    $10.00 for a sack of quality potting soil.
    Free--$8.00 for a container.

    Figure you'd get 4 oz. of killer bud off a single female plant.
    Buds that would sell for approx. $300.00/oz. in the U.S.

    So for an investment of $18.00 or less you can grow $1,200.00 of weed.
    10 plants = $12,000.00.
    Could you use an extra $12,000.00 this fall?

    Now is someone lives off mommie and daddy who will buy them anything they want, and never runs out of kick-ass buds, wouldn't be interested.

    But for $18.00 cash and a little sweat equity, a person is paying less than $5.00 per oz. and could sell them each oz. for $300.00.
    Not a bad investment.

    If you wanna learn how, check out my Guerilla Grow Guide in the outdoor growing forum.

    Ranger, in your OP you are wrong about one thing. "Figure you'd get 4 oz. of killer bud off a single female plant.
    Buds that would sell for approx. $300.00/oz. in the U.S."

    I EASILY could sell a gram for 15$..so i did 28 X 15..and yano what i got? 420!!!. But ya i could make $420.00 off an ounce of that shit. now thats alot of money bro..

    i think he means if somebody buys a full ounce it would be for 300.

    Sure.
    I would recommend a 7 gal. or more pulp pot, but a plastic one will do.
    Even your standard 5 gal. plastic container will do.
    You need to drill lots of holes on the sides near the bottom and fill the bottom 4" with gravel or rocks (to keep the soil from clogging the holes) for drainage.

    Duke Of Prunes: right you are, I'm talking oz. price. Sell in smaller amt's make even more cash.
    In fact, there are lots of people here (teens mainly) that have never smoked pot as good as they can grow for a few bux.

    It all depends on the quality, and also factor in how dry it is.
    I had some pot I was selling for $450.00/oz. late one summer a bout 10 years ago. True kick-your-dick-in-the-dirt make you forget how to talk weed.
    I heard that it was dry dry dry 400 miles away in the Silicon Valley (near San Francisco). I took a pound of bagged oz.'s up there and I was getting as much as $750.00/oz for it, from rich people who wanted the best of the best and nothing else would do.

    Around here, I could sell grams of good shit for $25 easily. 25x28 = $700. $700x28 = $19,600. I could grow some bomb-ass weed nearly free and make $19,600 off of 1 POUND!!!

    Maybe I'll try to grow a couple in the field behind my grandparents' house.

    Not too late to start.
    Read my guerilla grow guide in the outdoor growing section to get off to a good start.

    Sounds great, but you forgot one thing: the risks involved in growing $12,000 worth of an illegal substance (in a national forest, no less).

    Nope, didn't forget.
    I worked for The Forest Service for decades, and one of my duties was leo ride-alongs, as well as helping to find gardens that people had reported.
    The fact is that virtually no one gets busted for small outdoor gardens.
    To bust Billy for cultivation the man has to see Billy cultivating, which means either watering or harvesting them.
    In other words, the cops have to stake out the garden.
    If the grow is discovered and reported to the cops, here's what happens:
    -If it's a large garden (over 100 plants) they will 1st use aerial observation and go in with a task force, because large grows like that are commercial ops, and often have live-in guards. If the guards flee they'll usually let 'em. They're after the pot.
    -If it's a smaller grow they'll go in with like 3 guys to rip it up.
    -If it's a small (let's say a dozen or less plants) grow in a remote area, they may send in a coupla guys to rip it up, but sometimes they won't, they ma just ignore it.

    Except for booby-trapped grows, the cops are only interested in the weed, not the growers.
    If a grower is careful, has a dog as a grow buddy, and looks and listens as he approiaches the garden, there's no chance of getting busted.
    I never worried about cops. If there were any around, I'd know about it before getting to the garden. A 2-lb. test piece of fishing line stretched between 2 bush's flanking the path would tell me that either a person a deer had passed that way.

    A friend of mine went out to water his plants one day in a city wilderness park (Griffith Park, L.A.). When he got to the clearing he stopped and just admired his plants for a moment. Then his dog started barking and suddenly 2 park rangers appear and arrested him.
    But when my friend went to his prelim, the case was thrown out because he (acting as his own att'y) correctly stated to hizzoner that looking at a pot plant is not a crime. He said he had just been out for a hike and stumbled upon some pot plants and stopped to look at them before continuing on his hike. If the rangers had waited until he had started watering the plants that would have been a different story.

    If Billy robs a bank, the cops are interested in catching Billy and recovering the $$. But if they find a garden way out in the woods, they are interested in the weed, not Billy. They don't have the manpower to stake out a garden, which takes at least 3 cops round-the-clock for up to 3--4 days (longer if it rains and the grower doesn't have to go out and water them). That repesents up to 200 or more hours of police time and camping out. I've participated in 2 stake-outs (booby-trapped grows) and it's a job no one wants, just sitting there hour after hour after hour for days.

    If you're seen hauling in containers/potting soil, it would be foolish to continue but there's no law against hiking with containers and soil.

    The 2 most dangerous time for pot growers are
    -transporting the plants out to the site, but if one properly prepares the site, they can plant seeds so that danger is eliminated.
    -Hauling the harvested plants out.
    I would do this at pre-dawn, like at 5--6 a.m. I'd work with a headlamp (or, if I was lucky, by the light of the silvery moon).
    I'd chop the branches off the plants (leaving the stalks) and triple-trash bag them. Ideally they would go in my backpack, but there were times I grew so much that I was dragging out bag fulls.
    I'd take these to an area near my car and stash them in the bushes. Then I'd go to my car and sit and smoke a cig, casually observing and listening. Forests are quiet at that time. Cops like to keep in touch with each other and drive cars. If I saw any cars parked nearby, or heard voices, or my dog smelled them, I'd leave the pot where it was. I'd check back later. If I sensed anything out of the ordinary, I wouldn't retrieve the weed. There were 2 times I wasn't 100% sure so I left the weed. Once I went back days later but by them the weed was ruined (if you leave fresh-cut pot packed tightly in garbage bags it will start to turn into a nasty slime within a day). The other time the bag I left behind was gone the next day.

    So when you go out to tend your garden stop, look and listen on the way, especially when you get close.

    Believe me Infinate Sky, I'm not gonna tell people to do something that is likely to get them busted.

    I have harvested close to 2 pounds of buds (driend & cured weight) off a single plant.

    This was an anomoly, but it's possible.
    One guy I know got 3.5 pounds off a single plant.

    If you follow my instructions such as digging a 3' x 3' hole and refilling it with quality potting soil in full sun and supply it with water & nutrients, it's a snap to get 8 oz. per plant if you start in April, or 4 oz. per plant if you start today.
