The Guerrilla Handbook - A future documentary in the making

[DuskrayTroubador]

I'm going to bring in some perlite or peat moss this year (just a little bit for if the soil requires a little more air) but I try not to overdo it.

Clay based soils, though some air is necessary, do a great job of water retention. So for plots you don't plan on visiting all the time, go a little lighter than usual with the peat.

Someone on here (either D.S. Toker MD or moondawg IIRC) did an experiment where they grew in native, clay-based soil and their very airy organic mix. The plants grown in native soil yielded more every time (I believe he did it for three consecutive seasons); his theory was that the plants never went through heat stress because they always had water. On the other hand, the plants in his organic mix required him to haul in water all the time, and they dried out pretty quickly.

Now for your swamp spots this probably won't be an issue due to the swamp tubes, but it's something to keep in mind for planting in dry land.

i remember reading that as well bro,but not sure which one it was that did the test..both moondawg and DsToker is from same area as i am so i took alot of their advice in old posts and picked up a few strains they ran..i wonder what ever happened to them? they always had some great advice for the guerilla for sure..i would like to see them back on these boards.. im also gonna be trying a few things out this year with the native soil..i do know that in some places the top 2-3 inches of soil is solid black..i found a earth worm in one my plots hole that i dug..hope when i get my soil fixed on the plots they will dive into my holes and start eating the organic stuff i will have in there

That's a great side by side to conduct! Do you know if his organic plants were in the ground or in pots?

My guess is it's either due to the minerals available in the clay that he was planting in, or he didn't have enough organic matter in his organic mix to retain water like the natural earth would. If he was in pots then that also brings in another factor - root limitations.

Can you link the thread below for everyone here? That's a really interesting experiment

They sure will, worms are a great sign brother! That and lush, green, native foliage

im pretty sure they was in the ground..the threads i seen on both those guys was they used FFOF soil and would put 1-2 plants per plot..moondawg kc33,spotnica,and blue widow doing awesome guerilla style..i will try and find the threads and link in here..

 

[PrimalHaze]

great thread and idea Team Microbe. Transporting transplants and transporting payloads can be extremely stressful.

A grower's lot by KOG is a classic :

[YOUTUBEIF]0nbrCEQZVnM[/YOUTUBEIF]

How about taking a Fukuoka style approach to it and make some seed balls too...

[Team Microbe]

I love that first video man, I remember watching that a few years back and him complaining about someone who comes along every year and grabs mad colas from his biggest plants hahaha... poor guy. He grows some serious heady flower though... you gotta respect that. Idk if seed balls would be ideal for guerrilla growing per-say, but they are a great idea nonetheless. I'm strategic with my planting sites, and try my best to camo plant in with the surroundings while spreading them out and never planting in patches for aerial purposes

Are there any iMovie experts out there?


I'm having trouble figuring out how to do voice overs for this movie - it doesn't give me the option to select voice over, and when I press "V" it doesn't do anything either. I have a MacBook Pro btw, will this require a usb microphone do you think? I can't wait to start this guys, I've limited the chapters down to 20 so far. I plan on spending about 2-3 minutes on each one, depending on what it is really. I'm going to begin filming the beginning sequences with starting seeds in prep for the spring, as well as site selection and tools of the trade this month. It should be fun, I still need to put together a script though so I've gotta tackle that tonight. Stay tuned!

I'm very interested in seeing what you're going to come up with!! (especially since I'm in the same climate (42n NE))


As for voice overs,
I'm not too familiar with iMovie. But I have edited a lot of videos.
Why dont you just watch the clip you want to voice over and record audio as you watch the clip. Then save the audio file and insert it into the timeline just like you would music.

If im not mistaken your macbookpro should have a built in microphone which should work just fine.

If you run into any other problems with editing let me know! I'm more than glad to help contribute to this wonderful creation

Anytime, I'll be following this thread and keeping it alive as possible.

I've been searching all over for guerrilla information. I'm probably going to do my first outdoor run this year. I have to order the beans asap, so ill be having a late start. Maybe i'll pickup some autos too. Would you recommend anything in particular available on seedbay, seedboutique, or the tude? (I know you like Blue Widow, is that Dinafem?)

And, shoot me a pm if you need any help editing.
From experience, I would edit chapter by chapter. Save each chapter as a seperate movie and then compile all the finished chapters into the final documentary.

Cant wait to see the final product!

Thanks brother, I appreciate all the help here. That will be a lot easier if I make it by the chapter rather than the whole enchilada, you're right. I remember making a few snowboard edits and it was stressful when it compiled to more than 20 mins of footage because there's so much to look at and work with. I'll def hit you up when I run into walls, and I'm sure there will be more than one lol. I know exactly what I want to do, it's just a matter of being comfortable enough with iMovie in order to express it properly


This is the list of strains that I chose to run this year, they're all mold resistant and suitable for finishing at lats below 46N:

Pineapple Chunk

Church

Spontanica

KC-33 & KC-36

Serious 6

Blueberry Headband (most Blue varieties are mold resistant)

Timewarp

Church - Greenhouse Seeds?
Blueberry Headband - Emerald Triangle?
Pineapple Chunk - Barneys Farm?

I'm going to pick those three up ASAP. I just wanna make sure I get the right beans.

Thank you very much!


A few tips for editing:

Documentary Folder -> SubChapters -> Clips for each chapter
After you take the clips organize them in folders chapter by chapter. Then go back and watch them. Make / organize the voice overs. This will make editing all of it breeze.

IF you get all the clips first, I would suggest using a program like Adobe After Effects (I say get all the clips first because the program is a RIDICULOUS PRICE, but Adobe offers a 30 day free trial). So if you could edit the whole documentary within a month, that would be your best bet (theres just a bunch of little features that save a lot of time, plus theres some pretty neat features). Just watch a quick beginner video on youtube and it'll be a breeze!

Do you mind me asking what you do for soil/teas?

Yep, correct on the breeders. Great tips on the editing man, everything you suggest makes a lot of sense and it's gonna save me some time/headaches during the making of this. I appreciate it! Is Adobe After Effects a better editing program than iMOVIE or something?

Do you mind me asking what you do for soil/teas?

Not at all -

Veg Tea (10 gal)
-4 cups Compost
-6 tbsp Kelp
-12 tbsp Molasses

Brew for 36-48 hrs (typically the lower the temps surrounding the brewer, the longer it'll take to finish)



Bloom Tea (10 gal)
-4 cups Compost
-5 tbsp Fish Hydrolysate
-6.5 tbsp Alfalfa Meal
-8 tbsp Molasses
-handful of peat moss (for microbial diversity)

Brew for 18-20 hours

*Without owning a microscope, we don't really know what's going on inside the tea. This is why I rely on those that do like Microbe Man, because it's very easy to throw everything out of balance and start to see those not-so favorable organisms develop. I used to throw a little bit of everything into my tea, and no wonder problems arose like they did. Ever since I've been following these recipes I've had much success, so I hope typing this out helps anyone looking for a reliable recipe to water or brew with



Soil Mix:

1 pt. Peat Moss

1 pt. Rice Hull

1 pt. High quality compost


Mixed with:

Acadian Kelp Meal @ 1/2 Cup per cubic foot

Neem Cake and Karanja Cake 50/50 Mix @ 1/2 cup per cubic foot

Crustacean Meal @ 1/2 cub per cubic foot

Gypsum Dust @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot

Brix Blend Basalt @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot

Glacial Rock Dust @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot

Oyster Flour @ 1 Cup Per Cubic Foot


You can see the results I get with these 2 recipes over at Team Microbe's Living Soil Lab

I'll be running KC-33 and Spontanica as well. Looking forward to comparing results.

Hell yeah brother, Silverback ranted and raved about KC-33 so I've gotta give it a run this year. Have heard great things about Spontanica as well, what lat are you on? Anywhere near 43N?

Thank you very much! I highly appreciate it. I'll take a look at that thread right now.

In response:
I find after effects more professional and it is extremely simple to navigate!

I would compare iMovie to Windows Movie Maker. Just generic. Don't get me wrong, it'll work... But, After Effects blows it away, you'll end up saving time and having a better final product.

If you run across any issues just let me know. Everything is very simple! If you want me to walk you through a chapter or two there is a program called Teamviewer, we can remote assist each other and I can walk you through the basics (we'd just have to plan according to our time schedules). Goodluck buddy!

delahaze,biddy early,blue hashplant and belladonna are great guerilla plants to..i have only grew the delahaze but am growing all these this year except the blue hashplant and i will be doing that next year for sure..i also read alot of great reports on critical 2.0 and silver bubble..ive seed some really great reports and grows on here and another fourm about Ghs Trainwreck being resistant and a knockout stone..just google "dankohzee outdoor grow" and u can see the threads on here and GC about his results..read the links in my sig and learn we can help to prevent mold all the way around with a few simple things we can add to the soil or foliage
here are some other strains i have seen great reviews on in terms great mold resistance..
1. world of seeds NLxBB 2. delicious critical yumboldt 3. female seeds easy sativa 4. Female seeds purple maroc 5. paradise sweet purple 6. sensi early skunk 7. dutch passion frisien dew 8. s a n n i e Heribei
i have just found some new strains that i will be testing out for 2016 if they are anything like the blueberry headband..its cheesy headband and cotton candy cane..i may order me 1 seed of both these from pick-n-mix just to toss them in with the blue berry headband by emerald triangle seeds..Also in July Ace will have a feminized form of Bangi haze its a well known super hardy strain
Cotton Candy Cane- We have crossed our own Blueberry Headband with Sweet Tooth to produce this super high yielding and very sweet smelling tasty lady, the plant still carries the vigorous veg growth and tight internal stacking of the Blueberry Headband but with the addition of the Sweet Tooth it brings out the sweet berry undertones that were underlying in the original Blueberry Headband making this plant a veritable smell and taste sensation. Also highly resistant to mold and powdery mildew makes her excellent for outdoor use if you have the space, if not then she thrives just as well indoors.

Genetics - Blueberry Headband x Sweet Tooth

Indica/Sativa - 50/50

Yield - High

Harvest - Early October

Stature - Medium and heavy


Cheesy Headband- The Headband within this cross is super high yielder, known for its vigorous veg growth and tight internodal stacking that will produce long, large colas. Headband crossed with the Cheese produces the best from both the USA and the UK, both big yielders but now with that unmistakable smell and taste that only that one strain produces, the original Cheese. This strain is highly resistant to mold, mildew and PM, she may take a week longer than some strains but boy is it worth the wait, once tasted never forgotten!Genetics - Headband x Cheese

Indica/Sativa - 50/50

Yield - HIGH

Harvest - 9 weeks / October

Stature - TALL

here is my delahaze last year grown under the shitty conditions we had last year with miracle grow soil and nutes..i cant imagine how well the delahaze will do this year with organic soil and nutes..the delahaze is only plant i have grown for last 3 years that always finish with zero mold

 

[NickMode]

It'll be the new Go Pro, it has decent audio recording on it so it should be fine. I realize that the legalization wave is sweeping over the States right now but I know there are still a ton of guerrillas out there in the other states still doing their thing, you don't think it's not too late to make a video like this is it?

Woth legalization sweeping over the states, there might not be many more opportunities to film a truly undercover guerrilla grow.

Woth legalization sweeping over the states, there might not be many more opportunities to film a truly undercover guerrilla grow.

i cant wait till the day i can grow some in my back yard and water them with a water hose,building a greenhouse etcetc..i will be able to grow those elusive strains then and not worry about no rot
