Guerilla In the Swamp '13

Swamp Thang

That jungle is ripening nicely, Frankenstein. As your plants near the end of their life-cycle, my swamp grow is just getting started here at the tropical equator.

When the plants in my swamp tubes start to get a bit more impressive in size, I'll start thread with some pictures, to give IC readers a glimpse of swamp grows from all over the planet, and all in different phases of development, as the seasons change.

I'll be lurking here until you harvest, Frankenstein, and hoping my efforts produce results similar to yours. Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe I hear the roar of a bull crocodile, summoning me to the watery labyrinth for consultation he he.

All the pics so far have been taken with a 14 megapixel Kodak camera. Cheap deal from walmart. Now these next few pics were taken with a Samsung smartphone that has only 5 megapixels.(no sim card in the phone and I had all the location markers set to off, even without the sim card in, lol.)Which look better?

Some of the close up's I feel like I can see more detail of the bud with the 5mp samsung. I'm not sure the focus is quite as good as the kodak when it comes to the macro shots, those look a bit blurry on the samsung.

Love that one wide shot of your entire garden from a few feet away btw. It's so dense with bud it almost hides itself in plain sight heh. I think people could see it and not realize it's cannabis.

Nope its all good. I have been watching for mold. I lost prolly half ounce all together. Which is nothing compared to what's there. Most of it has at least a week,maybe two and a few look like they have another month or so. Things are ripening faster than last year. I hope to have it all pulled by halloween.

Pics from yesterday. They are slowly starting to come down. More than likely have about a month until they are all done.

Thanks bro!!!!! Yeah I have my hands full, and I love it. The system that is in effect now is working out pretty good. I trim most of it by myself. So I like to take a couple every other day, so that while i'm trimming fresh nugs, some are half dry, ans some are ready for jars. It almost works out perfect too, when I have off days i'm not in the swamp, I catch up on trimming wet and jarring dry. Just brought home a bunch of white widow in jars today, prolly close to 8 oz's out of a seven gallon grow bag with about five gallons of medium in it. It would have been more if I would have cleaned the plant better just before the start of flowering, but oh well. I'm still happy!!

Well done brother, I dug this baby up tonight when fantasizing about a swamp grow this year. Can I ask how you recommend transporting harvests to your drying location? I did garbage bags last year but my car stank the entire drive home... trying to improve in this area this year.

Do you think you would've lost some plants if they were in the ground when the late seasons rain came along? It looks like it got a little deep at parts there...

What strains did you run out there? I'm looking for mold-resistant ones I can run at 42N, sounds like these all did very good!



Also, were these in indirect sunlight most of the time? If so, is that a security tactic you use?
