Backcountry: In my opinion some sort of microblast is essential. Most natural soil have some ammount of mycorrizae and microbes, but not enough to quickly colonize some packed in soil. The microblast I used was made by Espoma (east coast big brand, great green sand btw), which is not the best for your area because it is based on blood meal. The mix is spores and dormant microbes in a powdered blood meal.
There are other ways to spike your holes.... a well composted soil would work in a a solution. Mix up a super thick sludge, and mix it in.
just something to think about, you obviously know what you are doing.
i think that the idea of "feed to soil not the plant" applies more to guerrilla grows than anything else.
a dry climate could definitely use some extra mycorrizae and bacteria.
best of luck.
Oh and on the subject of polymers, they are not "organic". they are simply a silica based water absoption polymer. absolutely no part of the polymer will enter your plant. a water holding polymer, by nature, is NOT soluble in water. It can retain water, but does not become a mobile compound in aqueous solution.
Thus the use of water polymer does not compromise the organic status of a grow.

pineappaloupe -I understand the concept of the micro-blast, the thing is I put alot of manure in these holes, manure I just collected out of the fields a few days ago. Some of it is older and well composted, and some is realitively green(squeezed hot out of the llamas ass a few days back), this mixture of manure at various states of decomposition contains hoards of freindly micro-organisms(kind of a all natural version of this micro-blast).
I think thats the thing to understand here, I am not using (all) dry organics off the grow shop shelf, I'm using living manure fresh off the land. Down the road I will add solutions of Molassas to help boost the "micro-herd".
The word "Organic" is a funny one. The definition of the word "Organic" simply describes a chemical compound based on Carbon and Hydrogen, by definition Petroleum is a "Organic" compound, considering it is a "Hydro-carbon".
Link to Wikpedia-- Organic compound
But this thread isn't so much about organics, as it is about hard-core guerilla growing.

Hey pineappaloupe, I'm trying Espoma's Bio-tone this yr, I think it might be a new product, never seen it before. It contains mycorrhizae & beneficial bacteria, along w/ feather meal, dehydrated manure, bone meal, alfalfa meal, greensand, humates, crab meal, cocoa meal & sulfate of potash magnesia. I'm using this primarily in old holes to refresh, mixing in w/ water crystals using a compost prong.
I'm using local chicken & cow manures w/ half the Bio-tone dose in the new holes, pre-mixing @ home using MetroMix 560 w/ coir.
Don't mind digging holes, but sure hate the backpacking new soil in @ night.
Sorry to hijack, BC, you may continue now! :wink:

This should be a good one...
Good luck! But from the looks of it you're not going to need luck. All about skills here

Backcountry,
I have a question for ya... How are you getting to and from your spot? I am assuming that your not just parking your car along the side of the road while you hike back into someone else's property. So what do you do? I like to be dropped off, with a cell phone, which works some times in my area and a two way radio.
In case the cell does not work I set a pick up time for my buddy to come drive by the spot, at which point when he drives by and I am still back in the bush I can tell him I am ready for evac or to come back in another hour or what not depending on how my work goes.

Hey everybody! Thanks for dropping by, all my old and new freinds, I should have some new stuff up tomarrow...........
Timber companys usually mark their property corners, so this is how I know it belongs to a corporation.
Thats exactly what I do! But you should know that my plots are about 5 miles from the nearest home, and the next home is 1 mile down from that, its way out in the sticks! So I'm not too concerned about people being suspicious.bushmaster113 said:

This sounds like a great plan, as long as you are sure you trust you buddy, thats your call of course.bushmaster113 said:

I think I may actually use a 12 volt Shurflow pump insted of the Homelite this year, it doesn't look like any of my plots will require the power of the gas powered pump. A matter of fact, a few of them look like gravity flow will be enough.
I won't need to water until sometime in June probably, since its still raining at the moment, but I'll start setting up my resivours by the end of May.
Are you going to have a grow thread this year?
