....:friends:...Good man, ive been killing more clones, and trucking water all day, you know the story..Julian said:
How's your world my friend?....How's everything going your way?....How's your weather...
Surely you would have a commentary about any one of many aspects involved?...(you should pen an irrigation supplement for those in areas not as forgiving as mine )
What's the story behind your main rez?...where did it come from?...already there?....
OhhhhHHhhhhhh my friend.......wtf is going on with that this year?? (clone problems?.....) Have you figured out where the problem is?? Sorry to hear........Fast_Pine said:....:friends:...Good man, ive been killing more clones, and trucking water all day, you know the story..
Well actually that is of significance to many.....(Many don't plan harvest until their sitting on top of it, and then start trying to figure out how they are going to transport, dry, cure, etc....should always be on top of it and have that worked out far before to avoid problems.....Things are well, im already starting to plan for harvest..Hope it will come soon, and be a big one....The rain has stopped!. My seedling patches are dead...Very few survivors...Scrawny little 3-4 inchers..Its hot as hell, and being 7000feet closer to the sun's intense rays sure doesent help..
Well, you gotta remember also to give everything a grain of salt.......you catch the same guy a little later in the night and he'll be lecturing on how since that z you have has 3 seeds in it, it's the male plants, and, you should grow the females because it's better bud (true story, something I heard not too long agoYou know, sometimes at parties and such youll hear some idiot talking bout how he plants seeds or clones, and harvests TONS of bud, buy surviving on rain alone..I can tell you, out here, that is damn near impossible...If the plant makes it, youll be lucky to get an ounce from it..In the desert,(New Mexico, Arizona), watering is a must...Specially if one expects to make any money..
Welll.........not exactly the case.....this year was a hard one for many......(no rain for....who knows how many weeks....(I thought was 4-5-6....others said in some areas was 8 weeks without rain....) I had a patch also get friend because of it, etc, so, not all a cake walk, ya know? Lot of people do irrigation in these regions also...(it is after all ideal..."optimal"....)After spending months setting up drip lines, tanks, and trucking and pumping water....I think of those lush rainy environments, and get Soooooooooo envious!! To grow good size plants without the task of watering is sadly something thats waaaay outta my reach, So the kinda numbers that J is talkin about cant really apply for me, or most guys out here...If yer gonna do thousands of plants in the desert, you need two things....Lots of money for supplies, and helping hands, youll need workers ya know...
I personally don't understand those guys......more get busted than come through fine because of how they do it.....you plant 20-30-50k+ in fuckin rows in the middle of nowhere, fuck, what do you expect to happen ...at least they could scatter and try and do patches of 500 staggered, etc, something like that.......I mean......destined to fail even before it's started......Most I would do is 100 (larger) ones, and, scattered, staggered, and, that's on a pretty lush background also, so......Out there,(lush NE United States) a massive commercial grow could be a coupple thousand,..... out here they rarely get that big....I consider 100, 4-5foot plants with Qp-Half per, to be pretty massive..At least for one or two people...Like I said before, If there in the 500-10,000 range, they have major funding, experience, man power, and balls...The BIG opps do happen round the southwest but they tend to be the big Mexi cartells, and those dumbasses LOVE Cali, and Arizona.....
Well, you could do the same?...(backyard, fence, irrigation, keep em small, etc....) and, don't be so jealous my friend......while your laying back in your canoe guess whose working in 100 degrees I'm basically 24/7/365 when running batches (not an exaggeration.....At harvest I am working on next one...while my own partners are celebrating the holidays and taking vacating and such I am out scouting and sometimes clearing spots....while their clean in spring I am handling larger numbers for prep.....stocking and starting and doing layouts, etc....When your done digging, I'm just getting started...(sure, use power to do it but power just makes it a little easier and quicker.....still lot of hard work to spend every weekend drilling and prepping holes for 12 hrs at a time in the sunAlotta the largest commersh grows I hear of(local)...are watered by a hose, and are next to a house..People rarely do the true guerilla aproach to commercial growing in my state...These guys are lazy,,,Some idiot fences his backyard and decides to grow 500...In pots....Suprizingly, sometimes that shit works!..We have no cover out here compared to the NE, the plants stick out like a sore thumb..HUGE numbers must be done very strategically..Which means broken patches, which means many different small drip syatems, which means Loooots of time, money, and effort..Almost too much. Considering Julian can just stick em in the ground and never water again...(can U sense the jealous tone in my voice...
Well...my bigger ones are 4+/- hrs away...and, spread out over maybe ..........50 miles of so....nothing but forest.....so....I'd be better off as I said doing irrigation and bringing in soil, but...as far as the irrigation goes.....always has made me nervous...and, I'll take the hit on yield and make it up for numbers so I don't have it all set up (and have to set it up....) Soil is half way decent......could only benefit by bringing it in, but, again....adds a lot of extra work in extreme volume so I prefer to go bare basics and make it up on numbers.....all has to do with area.......As far as my approach. Its all guerilla. I don't live any where near my plots. They are truly, in the middle of the nowhere...Any water, soil, tubing, fencing, or tanks must be packed deep into the forrest. Drip lines are run through the garden, and water is pumped from my truck through a hose running through the woods waaaay uphill to my holding tanks....
That's the one...I love it........how's it working out?...worth it's weight in gold?The main REZ..U mean the 550 gal tank covered in cammo netting?....I bought it new for like $700, it has UV proof plastic or some shit...Suposed to keep the water longer, and cooler...
It is huge, and I had to literally roll it uphill..I fuckin love that tank....It wreeeaks like fish ferililzer right now
J, If I had yer environment Id go CRAZY....Id plant alot like you..Thousands out, and taking ony the tops come harvest...U lucky mothajumpa!

GorillaGrower said:Great thread Julian.. I had a couple questions..
Could you explain what you look for when looking at aerial views. What you would consider good or bad in the 3 differnet types of plantings early(country), middle suburban, and late plantings minis..
And what do you do about smell with suburban grows say pool grow with the utiltiy company coming by?
