Close call's with Authority-Gorilla Growing

W

Aww why'd you delete your posts I didn't get to even see?

Is someone saying it's impossible to gorilla grow in a urban city because I do it every year. Hundreds if not thousands of people drive within 50 meters of my crops on a daily and I have never, ever been ripped from my urban spots except an urban corn field which I pretty much knew it would be ripped it was more of a test

I have grown 120 plants in an industrial area behind a plant with 500 plus employees. There is zero reason for any of those factory workers to step into the wasteland behind the factories, zero chance of hunters or outdoor enthusiasts to stumble upon them and and also no chance that scum bag rippers are going to think the wide open acres of grass surrounded by roads on all sides is going to house a patch of weed unless one of them literally sees you planting there which obviously I go in the dead of night dressed in all black. These spots are so close to civilization one year a 1/4 of my crop didn't flower because the street lights on the street shined on them enough to prevent flowering!

I never plant before July in these places because if the plants tower over the native grass they would be visible as fuck. to make up for the plants small size I put out a very high number of them. I dnot haul in soil because it's not even possible to do in these spots. I haul in perlite, water crystals and sometimes coco as well, a. Trowel and sometimes drill auger. I dig about a 1 or 2 gallon hole loosen up the dirt as best I can, mix in perlite, water crystals and the coco and it comes out looking like potting soil (good quality native soil for most part) and pop the plant in throw some time release fertz on top ( I use heavy harvest cause it works way better then any other chemical time release)

I get a minimum of 2 ounces a plant and pull down at least 50 of them per patch. No dealing with hiking bales of soil miles through thick brush, no watering and carrying for plants that get over 10 feet tall that you've put so much time and money into growinf your not sleeping cause your soo excited and on edge to harvest and you show up cut it down and its ripped.

Takes me about an hour to plant 50 clones or seedlings. I put the veg time release on when they are planted, go back one time just as flowering is starting or about to start and put the flowering fertz on and then go back to harvest them so a total of 3 trips including planting and harvest. It's cost me less then 10 bucks per 50 plants ( I didn't have to pay for seeds this year) and because it's only a couple hours of work at the most, if I were to loose a patch by getting ripped it wouldn't even sting that bag not like I put hours upon hours of blood sweat and tears in and it was a small investment as well. I throw amendments down on top of the holes at the end of each year so the soil just keeps getting better and better.

Most people would probably not even believe me if I pointed to one of my patches. i have gotten crazy creative with them and yes featherfoot I have grown in vacant lots but I get the impression your thinking of a vacant lot literally in the middle of a city surrounded by buildings but that's not at all what I mean.

Saying I grow in urban spots does not mean I go to some friggin hiking trail and walk 10 meters off like like what featherfoot seems to do. That is just unbelievaby reckless and dumb in my opinion. I have found so many grows off of urban hiking trails well what I should say is I find a lot of attempted grows very, very rarely are their actually plants in the holes because they get ripped so quick even if they are 3 inch tall seedlings kids will rip them. Think about it, some city kids with no vehicle want to try an outdoor grow, what's the only area of "wilderness" that they could possibly think of? If someone sees or hears you fucking around in thick brush off the trail it's gonna be pretty fucking obvious your doing something you shouldn't. If someone saw me walking by my patch I promise you the last thing that would pop in their head is that I'm tending to a grow.

To grow in an urban area you have to pick a location this No one would ever think to house a patch and most importantly a spot that people aren't going to be walking close too picking an urban hiking trail is the exact opposite of that.

Your gonna end up in trouble featherfoot. Leaving the tray of seedlings when your positive the site was compromised? Cmon man theirs a difference between a freak close call and just being dumb.

Most of your stories sound like your just paranoid. I have read so many stories from you where you say you know your under Leo surveillance. I think you need to lay off the sativa. I bet it was some kids with a radio not a cop. If I was in the middle of the woods and all of a sudden smelled cig smoke I would make a comment too...

Edit- wanted to add that the incident I posted about in my original post was not at one of my urban spots. i do put out full season trees every year but it only makes up about 10% of my total harvest (if I were to harvest each patch that is)

I will get pictures. Their wont be a shit load considering I only visit 3 times but I have many patches so there will be a lot more then 3 haha

Nice stories. Ill have to share some of mine later on when I get a chance for time. So you pull a ccouple ounces per gallon hole on late seasons? Ive never dug small holes always about 15 to 100 gallon hole but this year im going to try small holes for late plants. Check out my most recent post about late planting, I need some help over there. No one else but like one person has even made sense thats posted and Featherfoot has just been an ass. Like I dont know wtf im doing lol. The way he is telling me to grow is the way ive always growed,larger plants and all starting early but I guess he doesn't realize shit happens and sometimes you have no other choice but to start late. Thats why im stressing because this planting late thing is new to me and I need all the info I can get.

Hey brother, I thought I already posted in your thread but I could be thinking of another one. It was titled something like "Planting in July?" Madtrapper and I commented in it he is another Canadian who keeps putting trays of "semi autos" (light sensitive) strains until their is absolutely no time to do so anymore. I'll look through your posts now and comment in detail about it don't want the thread getting off topic but yes I pull a MINIMUM of 2 ounces a plant from my maximum 2 gallon holes. I love my methods of growing. I do way less work, invest way less money and time, and pull down higher quality weed. The one and only downside is the added risk of have 50 plants instead of one or two but with risk comes reward :)

I have more close call stories that I will post soon!

Glad im not the only one to think like this.

Outside the city is not urban guerilla; urban is INSIDE the city.



And when do you get cornfields in a city?

You guys need to look up the definition of URBAN.



I have pulled one winter grow and two summer grows from that spot and guess what, never got ripped or found by leo.
The proof is in the pudding.
To get to those spots you have to crawl on hands and knees and even elbows and knees, no-one can just stumble upon them.
This is the art of the urban guerilla.

LOL you are a fucking asshat man I can't stand your attitude I would be willing to bet you don't have many friends in real life.

I grow in the city and all around it.

I have been documenting lots of things with pictures I will be posting pictures when I get back in the evening. Your gonna eat your words when you watch a guy that takes a public bus to his a lot of his spots pull down some weight.

8 iranian auto flower clones (not actually autos just real light sensitive)
I'm curious where you sourced the genetics. I ran across descriptions by Dr Greenthumb of some of his Iranian crosses and was quite intrigued :biggrin: Seems like a relatively unexplored genepool.

I am so looking forward to the pics :) Just keep in mind making some internet clown eat his words isn't your first priority, and make sure to edit out anything identifiable.

lol it isn't one of my priority's at all in fact I don't care if he ever looks at my pictures. He seems to think he is a genius that does not take any advice just preaches his which has many flaws. I don't like smug people with seem to think they are perfect.

just want to show him that their are TONS of other places are then obvious ass hiking trails to grow weed in the city. You just have to get creative.

I wish I could show pictures that show just how close to "urban" things some of my spots are but as you said I cannot show anything identifiable. I will be able to get a picture of my plants with street lights not far away one of these nights in the futute. I learned a lot of my style of growing from an old member on here named "Julian" I think he is still around actually. Lots of folks didnt seem to like his attitude as he had a bit of an ego but man did I learn a shit load from his posts...

:) I spent like 2 days wading through Julian's big outdoor thread. Good stuff, lots of great tips.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to say you wouldn't be careful with pics, it seems like you know what you're doing :)

More stories!!
 
i greww up in southern new england which is crazy populated and i grew right in the middle of town.those are soem of the best spots.you put an early short growing strain.and DONT make a trail to it.ive got some planted right next to the liabrary and post office.i even told a few freinds but i know their all to shit scared to even try and look for them .they all think im crazy but im on my third year doing it.you can def grow in the city.somewhere over in kazahkstan or one of those countries someone grew pot in an island inbetween lanes on a busy city street.a city like boston.big.the shit got 2 feet tall before the millions of motorist driving by everyday or the city realized what it was.if someone sees you with a shovel in an urban area you can make an excuse.if someone catches your hippie ass way out in the woods in early summer with a shovel whats the chances they will believe your digging wild roots
 
i would post my story its ten timers crazier than any ive read here but im to scared the fuzz will read it and be like thats the dude we missed a few years back

A patch the size of two football fields was discovered on Chicago's south side fall of 2012.

I wouldn't be counting on harvesting the plants brought in with the gym bag just yet.

Reminds me of the only time a partner entered a patch during daylight hours. Got spotted by farmer, ( with gym bag of clones), few months later DEA helicopter is on news hauling out same plants.

Ok guys sorry I've been CRAZY busy lately. I have kept true to my word and been taking pictures but it is very hard for me to get pictures that show how urban the spot is without completely giving the location away but I have some that will give u an idea of what I'm trying to say.

First of all featherfoot, why do you NEED to grow right in the heart of the city? When a poster told you her grows right outside the city you just rudely said he needs to look up the definition of urban (I think you actually should because urban doesn't equal city. if I posted the definition you'd kinda look even more like an asshat) but if you got access to public transit and a mountain bike why wouldn't you grow outside the city...you make it sound like it's impossible for you. When I say outside the city I still mean in very urban areas just where it's literally not all concrete except hiking trals.

I have already given you examples of my industrial and roadside patches...I don't want to get very specific for obvious reason. I already went back and edited my post cause I felt it gave away too much. If you weren't such an ass hat I'd PM you but I have no interest.

I'm gonna start a thread when things get a little more exciting.

wegobigupnorth

Featherfoot, all I can say is you really need to get more creative with your spots if you are finding teenagers smoking forts and homeless people...Sure, you will find those types of things in the most obvious, easiest to get to forests that are in subdivisions and shit that kids have access too. I grew succesfully in a forest like that by a main river that kids always played at when I was 12 and then the next year when going to plant again I found some other kids had dug holes and we're going to plant like 30 feet away from my holes.

The idea is to pick a spot, ideally on private land, that not only has nothing appealing to people like say, a river, that is off a road with no sidewalk and is to busy for kids to be playing on. My urban spots are so wide open no kids are gonna be building forts considering traffic and see them on all 4 sides and no homeless people are gonna be building a camp where their is zerp shade and is in the middle of busy roads or factories.

I am not gonna bother with this thread anymore but wi be starting a journal soon about my gorilla grow.
