Hello
I am hoping to have a semi succesfull grow this season (expect less and hope for more). I would love to go GONZO size but some of my obstacles are free roaming cattle and water. While I cant really say its a guerilla grow because its my land. I have 40 acres in the montains of the desert southwest at 5200 feet. So while the low desert sees temps of 117 in the summer my property averages 87 for a high, leaving the early fall for some cool nights and hopefully purple color before harvest. My tentaive plan is to do 7 nice sized plants in 100 gallon holes, I allready have those 7 as teens this early in the year, they are in a tent getting only 16 hours a day so that there is less stress when they go out June 6. I know alot of growers do 18 on and then scale back to 16 as June approaches. The strain is sour grapes from a reliable patient, it reaks in veg, so Im hoping for some good meds come september. I also was gifted 5000 or so sour diesel cross cinderella 99 beans from a agent grower for a dispencary here in the desert. I went last week to check on the property but there was snow at 3500 feet that came in unexpectly, my truck was slip slidding all over the road so I turned around and went back down the hill, leaving me with 300 seedlings that I put out in seven different spots at lower elevation. I was not overtly concerned with the planting of them, I took only the first 5 inchs of dirt out and placed the rockwool seedlings into the void and backfilled it with happyfrog. Alot of the seedlings got covered up with soil which is fine because its still cold, those 7 sites along with all of the future plants will and have been gps locked. This leaves me with the best 80 seedlings from that batch that I still have at home. Those seedlings are currently seeing low day temps of 40 at 730 am when I put them out in the morning then they see highs in the 70s during the day, but right before the sun goes down, I bring them in and put them under a t8 flouro. I know thats a lil cold for them in the morning but I want them to get nice and hardened because they will be planted April 15 in holes just big enough to hold the rootball with minmal soil amendment. Along with those plants going in the ground April 15, Im going to pop another 100 or so beans and take them while still in the paper towel and plant those in shallow graves of happy frog just to see what I get out of them. Now last year I planted 8 inch plants mid April, as you would expect they started to flower in May and then revegged, even in doing so I had a jack Herer f1 plant finish at 2 pounds and only in a 7 gal hole of amended soil! Again, Im throwing alot of these out there with no expectations, while my bread and butter is the 100 gal plants that I allready have cooking as teens. Those 7 plants Im going to top and lst so that they can be nice and bushy when they go out in June, they are currently in 1 gal but will see 5 gal before going out this summer. So I guess you could say I have seedlings out allready, juveniells getting hardened now for mid April planting, teens for June, and then sprouts that will go out in between all of this. I mentioned cattle and water being enemies, well I have alot of brush on the property that Im going to surround the juvenilles and sprouts with and my 100 gal plants will be chicken wired. Water, well there is a creek bed that goes thru the property that fills when it rains, and there are natural springs along with free use wells all over the mountain range. Im going to be doing alot of water hauling this season. If the season bears good fruit, I will go ahead and have my own well installed for which I have allready have an estimate for. I have quads and a rv so its going to make for an awesome summer.
Not doing anything special for feed except floranova, humic acid, silicate, and some overdrive with bud candy in bloom. Dont forget the industry standard of superthrive, 1 ml per gal how can u not use it.
I am hoping for input from anyone, good or bad in hopes to help me with this seasons run. I have attached some pics, one of which is a group of seedlings from beans that never popped but got a shallow grave anyways. I know they are way overcrowded but the best will make the top and choke out the others, besides Im not to concerned with them, my chief interest is the 80 juves that will be teens going out mid April and the big ones going out in June, everything else is hash oil.
I have one season outdoors for experience but I would be very appreciative for any input of things right or wrong. Especially from well versed guerillas. Wish me luck and I hope you follow!
