A few questions about this years Guerilla

[MountainBudz]

First off I would like to mention that i'm getting a late start this year on ground prep and plant prep. I've been running some indoors recently and that coming to an end until I get moved away into my new home hopefully in August or September. So its going to be a very busy start/finish this season.

Here in eastern Ky security is crucial, meaning more time dedicated into security and stealth than into just going into the backyard and building the 300 gallon cannagarden lol. You just cant do that here, unfortunately. So instead I will be venturing miles into the forest and thickets secluded in these here mountains, looking for a place to plant a single or two pot of gold here and there then venture another 1,000 feet or so and do it again.

Last year I lost my crop due to LEO's flying in the air and spotting my ridiculously stupid 100 plus plant grow in an area that i've had success in for ages until I thought I could go out and cram them into one spot. Very stupid! And that compromised me of one of my best guerilla lands of all my life!... NEVER will I do that again. My backup crop just molded to pieces and I ended up with hardly anything at all. However year before last, alone by myself I ended up with between 15-20 lbs, working alone as always, only spacing my shit out and putting the effort into digging throughout the previous winter.

Now my questions arise. First, I will be doing mostly seed grows this year, few feminized and very many regulars. The regulars I am planning on vegging for about 2-3 weeks on 18/6 then flipping to 12/12 for about 5-6 days then back to 18/6 for an early sex. Hopefully I wont have to deal with much reveg with that method. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated! I've put plants outdoors before "during my good year" in middle march from regular seeds in 2 and 3 gallon pots and they pre flowered so come mid april and early may I put them into they're holes and they revegged fine and I had no problems with them flowering. Thats what gave me this idea, however if I try that specific method this year i'm afraid they wont flower in time because the days are longer now.

My second question, is close but not at the location of my compromised grow last year that was brutally eradicated, what would my chances be to put them in a separate thicket about like the other one only about a little less than an 8th of an mile away? I was planning on spreading them throughout this time. The thicket is about 5 acres in size and very thick with numerous types of thorns, vines and small saplings growing throughout. The reason I choose this area is the easy access to it.

My motivation is failing me this year, I feel like its too late, I sit and ponder without making any movements for success! I hate it, one bad year can screw your mind up so much. I'm also planning to do silver backs method of taking clones from mothers and putting plants in 12/12 and sitting them outside after a week or two in two gallon containers buried in the ground for an extra booster crop. I have a feeling I could get by with many of these with this method (thanks silverback and RIP buddy!), that Ky blood in us has its similarities in thought and action. Thanks for taking time to hear me blab lol.

In response to question 1, you can take a snip and put in a cup of water with 12/12 lighting to determine sex. That way you dont have to reveg.

I think I might give that method a shot. Someone also told me to do get quicker results to take cuttings and place in water and leave in the dark for 3 or 4 days then put under 12/12. Heard this is an old school method around these parts, anyone ever tried it? Think that it might work or speed up the process?

I'd like to make a good thorough guerilla journal this year for you guys and maybe it will teach you alot in the means of using stealth and methods that have been used around these parts forever so long. I would have to say that that the East Ky method of growing is in a league of its own, different than many other grows i've followed in other states and so forth. Maybe you can also share your methods with me also, theirs always new things to learn.

I know here I have techniques that can get me by with growing a 6 to 8 oz plant no more than 3 ft tall which blends in well with surrounding wild vines, brush and even soybeans. Cornfield growers may want to consider hitting up soybean fields as they are less flown over and blend in much much better than with corn. The secret is keeping them low. I've also read were silverback mentioned planting the plant sideways on the ground and then scraping some bark from the plant, adding rooting hormone and rooting the plant several times to create a monster yielder, that method I have used for years and it does work and is not complicating by any means (depending on how dry, how much sun you can keep on your plant) this method is susceptible to mold if not careful. You dont want much surrounding vegetation touching your plant or buds.

I have a friend here one time that used this method in a circular layout in about a 10 x 10 area in his back yard. The chopper spotted it and landed near by in a field and accused him of having 20 + plants. He beat it in court proving that it was only one plant that been rooted several times and before he was caught he was pulling a good 3-4lbs if not more off that one plant.

In a hurry this afternoon, so my explanations aren't as deep and descriptive as they should be but when I get time later I will go into further explanation.
