Long term guerilla growing?

Okay well first let me start off by saying apologize for the extensive thread, it is all relevant. Please refrain from any inappropriate comments and/or suggestions pertaining to this thread. I am not some teenager looking to score for my personal stash, nor am I inexperienced with the art of "guerilla growing". I have a few seasons under my belt scoring multiple p's and have been through what it takes to have a successful season; from the hard work required late into the night... managing a split lifestyle to get the job done without any extra induced risk factors... to hauling bags and bags out of the bush to secure locations.... (I have skipped a season or two due to a lifestyle change..will get into that shortly... and feel like I am being pulled back into this addiction) The reason why I came here to receive some type of wisdom about going on and chasing my dream (one which I have constantly been thinking about during the last year or two off of growing) to at least provide myself with a large amount of capital $ to fuel some type of self sufficient business that I enjoy, might possibly be purchasing a bunch of tangible assests with "dirty money" and flipping as my own business... now I never said I'd like to stop growing just being that as something on the side in addition.......... Now this is where I come to a mental standstill....... The reason why I took a season off is because I was going through a rough time at home going through a very long relationship breakup that messed me up for a bit, I wanted to get away from my problems so I hastily joined one of the services..(won't get into any details) but I didn't think I would be pulled back into the growing lifestyle so fast mentally.. I have no freedom because I am in an active contract that won't be completed until about 3 years from now.. I constantly think to myself I would be so much happier living my life the way I want and going back to my old lifestyle. I am doing great regarding my current job, but find myself up every night studying everything there is to know about growing. Before I left I spent 3-4k purchasing the supplies and stock to fuel putting out 200 spread out over 10-15 spots..never got around to starting the season....I have built some small type of capital $ from the last year and the thought is constantly stuck in my head that I would easily be able to put out 800-1000 in a single season, putting me over the top of anything I've ever expected..... so say I purchase some more stock and supplies with this capital I've made and end up successfully putting out 800 early to mid season... leaving my rough lowest estimate to lose 200 to whatever problems and coming out with around 600 to like 3 z's a piece at the lowest as well.... that's 112 p's "At the least" from those 800 put out.... leaving me at a 300k+ capital to start whatever in the world I'd like.... see where the problems in my head are arising from? being stuck in a controlled environment for 3+ years earning slim to nothing with basically no freedom to live how I want, or to receive some type of discharge from the service and go out to accomplish the goal I've just deemed completely feasible considering the locations and climate I'm most accustomed to......

If it's that worrisome, then you are not ready for guerilla...not being mean...just being being real. Sort out chaos in your life, THEN plant. You've got way too much on your mind.

And start small...it's those who think they are bigger than life that seem to point the way to their project and then it's great TV news footage. Don't want that for you.

However, I wish you success. Others are better to speak.

Seen it, nearly experienced it (LEO), so going big outdoors....others have tales to tell, I'm sure.

Well I forgot to mention all the chaos and troubles that I went through I am all completely past that.. that's what is making me resort back to my original plan of putting out those 200. Because of the troubles between ex-gf and what-not I didn't have enough confidence to do it back then(a year ago)... main struggle is being stuck in this position I am in without the ability to let my full potential unleash and put out the amount I wanted to do +more... I've already experienced small scale growing and it's just not for me at all.

Didnt u say u were active duty military with a few years left on ur contract?
Unless u can get out of that contract? Or ur cool with going awol..
Then id buck up n do ur service.. Like i said in my earlier post. Military prison prob isnt fun.
Its a cool daydream tho. Enjoy the dream, plan it n practice it as much as possible.
N mayb when ur no longer the
Property of the govt u can pull
It off.
Good
Luck

 

[stoned-trout]

good luck your gonna need it ....what you are planning would be hard for even an experienced grower...trying to do massive guerilla grows is a bitch ....

 

[amannamedtruth]

unless you have great soil and a nearby water source...you're in for a lot of work. Hauling soil amendments, water pumps, constantly going back to the patch to check on watering...making trails, irrigation lines, attracting hunting prey, its a lot to deal with...Guerrilla grows are best done with multiple 5-10 plant patches, so maybe think of a 30-40 plant grow, account for losses.

With guerrilla, you don't want to have to visit except for once a month until the rains come.

 

[MelloYello]

At harvest/drying/trimming, 112 lbs are going to permeate you and everything you own. You will be walking around military installation smelling like a giant bud.

 

[stoned-trout]

its nice to have a dream......for it to come true it needs to be realistic....I nearly killed myself years ago doing half of what you want to do ..and I had good spots/soil and climate... then you got to have a spot to dry /and manicure it....even I wouldn't try it again....my friend who I helped was overwhelmed from his crop ...the pile was stacked taller than him come trimming time....he almost cried he was so overwhelmed...it was so funny seeing him covered in leaves and all sticky from the resin....yeehaw... transporting van loads of weed is nerve wracking too

Big dirty!

Hey brother I agree with stoned-trout and amannamedtruth.

I am a one man show with a full time job and a family. My largest grow was around 70 plants and I can assure I didn't bring all of those in. More like 35-37. Lost some to rippers and some to mold etc. Its hard to take care of all those plants.

You would have to pick lowlands or swamps so you wouldn't have to water. Again as previously mentioned you DO NOT want to be out at multiple spots every week. You are asking to be seen. I didn't say caught but seen which means loss of plants at the very least.
I spent days and days trimming this year with my 8lbs it would be well over a month to PROPERLY trim 112 lbs. Trust me my trims are nothing to brag about.

A operation the scale you are talking about takes multiple people and loose lips sink ships. You want that type of grow I would look to move to a med state where help is easier to find. Otherwise your asking other people to put their freedom on the line for something they are not as passionate about as your are. That never works ask any small business owner.

I think one man can pull off 100 plants but not with a full time job. Otherwise you are looking at larger plant losses than you have accounted for.

Good luck to you and keep dreaming I know how addicting growing can be. I've always wanted to put my job on-hold for a year and see what i was capable of too. I wish you the best.

What i think is
Get you about 5 spots with 5 plants each spot alot of sun
but hidden well
Try and grow monster plants 5 plants 5 pnds each 25 pnds x 4
water should be no issue dig holes cover with plastic hold water
need do during winter to have water incase no spring rain


I agree with alot of what some have said that many plants
youll loose alot animals bud rot rippers like me Th my fucking dog chew them in half
In half

It is difficult very difficult

I say this with 100percent experience

But hey you may be tougher then me though
Ive got nerve problems with my neck
but i do what i gotta do

From all i been told and know never do more then 99 in one spot

 

[Saltlife]

5 spots x 5 i said 4he's my bad

Like others have quipped....invisioning and reality are far inbetween. But do what you do what you do....

Nothing wrong with small scale....

Tended a plot long ago of 350...massive undertaking....

Sounds like loose ends, but time will tell....

o god.. here we go again with the greed.. first things first.. didnt we all learn from snype? your like 5 years too late for the GET RICH GREEN RUSH.. still possible. but not nearly as easy.. 800 plants outside? really? 112 pounds? really? i know dudes hitting 3-6 lbs a PLANT.. u could do 30 big fuckers.. and hit that all fucking day long.. why waste all the time doing almost 1000 plants? go to jail forever instead of making bank?

good luck.. but why not work your way up . its a lot of money to play wit the big boys outside.. thats why my outdoors arent 1000s . lol rather do 20 big guys and hit 30-90 lbs depending strain and season .

until you cna prove yourself in this business.. even if you do get 100 lbs.. if its horrible you make 100,000.. instead.. when u could grow 25-30 lbs of FIRE. and make the same

you can tell from post 1 . that you will fail if you try..

most dont need to ask shit. if they are putting out that many plants.. they been doing it for a while. and have plots ready to go . and genetics that do great outdoors.

put it this way.. go grab a bale of soil. and pick that up. 10 times from spot to spot.. and see if you can even handle bringing 10 plants out nevermind 1000.

not trying to put you down.. but reality is.. that if ur a small scale grower.. your in for a rude awakening.. trying to do a huge guerilla..

3 years ago. i put out over 500 clones... within 2 months. i had neglected half.. and by the end i came out with nothing. because one day i went out to check on the last 60 plants.. and guess what.. each spot.. chopped at about halfway.. and gone.. out of 60 plants i ended up with 6 pounds of LARF..

never will do big outs like that.. not plant numbers.. those numbers are prison terms.. wen u can hit 100lbs with 20-50 plants. why ever go above 100 and get hte feds involved.

From your post, You sound like you are "100percent experience(d)" Lmao...... good luck with this kinda advice

 

[noobynubert]

good luck selling it without getting caught , that's how i see it

 

[stoned-trout]

be prepared to do nothing but tend plants 24/7... you will find yourself falling asleep at the grows...stash some food and supplies..get some good camo...be prepared for failure...
