2007 Oregon Guerrilla Outdoor, with BACKCOUNTRY
- Thread starter BACKCOUNTRY
- Start date
The #1 reason my plants are as large as they are is because I started them on Febuary 14th, and got most of them in their holes in late April/early May. That means these plants are nearly 5 months old! After looking at your grow thread Barf, I see that your plants are only 2 months old, thats your reason, its really not fair to compare them.
The #2 and #3 reason these plants have some size is because the soil texture was evaluated and conditioned as needed, and equally important was sunshine availability.
My challenge now is to make sure these plants stay healthy by giving them plenty of water, and keeping the Deer and Rats off them.

I have only twice found old garden sites, one was at least 2-4 years old when I found it, and I didn't really find the plot(s), I think it was the "camp". There was some old clothing, some Alaska fish emulshion jugs, buckets, food wrappers, etc.
The second one had some fencing laying in the grass, and some old buckets, and was also several years old at least.

Back Country, looking good farmer. You remind me of the old mountain men of a century back or two. I wish I could do it, but I am too old to start a life like that and besides, I am totally intwined in living close to the city. It sucks.
I read that you will be worried about rain in October. When do you harvest? I thought you would be cutting in late September? I have never finished anything outdoors, so that seems like an awful long time. February until October? I can take a seed to bud indoors in 4 months, but then it will never taste as good as the great outdoors.

Backcountry...your plants are looking great!! I grow in an old sand pit.I have to bring in ALL my soil.I was trying to think of something to line my holes with.The liquid nutes I give them drain so quickly!!. This yr I lined them well with shredded pine bark mulch.It should help...we'll see ....BL
Hey stoner! Hows it been going?
newRandude- High there! If you grew up in or near the city, thats probably why you don't want to leave it, its a common problem.
All of my strains harvest in October here, I usually start pulling plants around October 10, and the latest I've left stuff out is Oct 25th I believe. I don't have a strain that harvests in September, all of my stuff would be pretty immature that early.
budluver- Take a gander at my thread labeled "Is your soil texture right?".

So then after October is the best time for a person to go to California or Oregon to score outdoor weed. I plan on trying to get some this season.

im a little behind u on that 5 footer, mine are 3-4. Can't wait to see them in another few months
newRandude-Yeah, they actually harvest even into November in parts of Nor-Cal, and into December in SoCal, they have longer seasons and can pick potentially more potent(or exotic), later strains. People to the north of me, in Washington and Canada might be forced to pick strains that finish in September because of their shorter season, I fall in the middle of the finish scale.
filimagno-Thankyou!
The Dancing Man-I'll be lovin' it in September when the buds start swelling, and stinking good!

This sounds like a Mexican grow, huge plantation grows are springing up all around Oregon lately. One which was suspected to be maffia conected was found in the coastal mountains of SW Oregon recently, 2,800 plants were seized. The Narcotic teams around here are getting all hot and bothered about these huge grows, which could be good and bad for a small grower like me. They could draw them away from me, or they could get them more funding, guess we will see.SoylentGreen said:

Damn I would have never thought the Mexicans did that in the USA. But it makes sense, as they do not have to travel across the border to sell it to us. Seems by and large the Latins do not consume as much of it as we Americans.
Actually newRandude, "Sinsemillia" and "Marijuana" are both Spanish words, and it is likely that Cannabis was mostly introduced into American culture through Mexico(and the Carribean). I think Cannabis consumption amoung Latinos is just as likely as it is for Caucasians, north or south of the boarder, do you live in a Western state with a significant Mexican population?
Mexican organized crime has been growing super large plantations in California for decades, slowly moving north and displacing large scale American growers in areas that have been traditional hotbeds of commercial growing, like Humbolt county in California, and expanding inot other areas not previously used much, like the Blue mountains of NE Oregon.

BC,
Just noticed my OD thread is in your signature. Thank you kindly, sir.
The mexican cartels are here in the 4 corners area growing, too. The upside for me is that they take the heat off of me with their 1000-plant grows. That's what the Feds end up looking for... people camped out, big plots of plants, irrigation, trash, etc. I betcha they'd walk right past my little buckets without even noticing. And from a helicopter, fageddaboudit.

No problem Dignan, I like to help promote the grows of fellow Guerrilla growers! And thankyou Cornerstone!
I went to check HM#1 yesterday, she looks about the same, wilty but no really that close to death. I wish i could visit her more often to see if she actually perks up after I give her water, cuz she always looks thirsty when I get there, and none of my other plots have shown this.
The problem could be do to several things-
1.Underwatering(even though this plant gets nearly double the water of my other plants)
2.Overwatering(earlier on, resulting in root rot, which now that the weather is warm would cause the plant to be unable to uptake enough water to sustain its health)
3.Overferilisation(basicly the soil may contain poisionous ammounts of fertiliser)
I can't really do anything about overfertilisation, but for the other problems my only option is to try and increase the water available, cuz it is now pretty clear that she is pretty thirsty.
I don't have any pics of the build yet, but I took a 2 gallon bucket and drilled a hole near the bottom, I ran a 2', 1/2" vinyl tube into the hole and placed a piece of cut sponge into the other end, not real tight, just enough to slow the flow to a drip.
I burried the sponge end into the soil about 6", and poured 2 gallons of water into the bucket, 2 more gallons went directly on the hole. My hope is that the slow drip from the bucket will help slow the drying of the hole(which tested very dry with my moisture meter).
I'll put up a how-to on the bucket if it seems to ba sucess, eventually I will be placing a totally automated system on this grow, as time allows.
HM#4 looks great, I watered them about the same time I did HM#1 last, but they tested about 50-75% on the moisture meter after the same ammount of time between waterings. I am assuming this is due to the fact that their soil contains the highest levels of clay of any of my plots this year, this may be something for me to look for next year.
Here is my attempt at a group shot, I'm too lazy to use Photoshp to meld the pictures, so use your imagination-

everything seems to be doing well so far BackCountry, other than that drooping plant they all seem pretty content. Hopefully it is only a water problem and not the soil you are in that is the problem with her. Best wishes going out to you again for this season and to many more to come
