Guerrilla Grow Guide

Your first step in a successful guerrilla attempt is to find your locations. I like to do alot of my scouting in the fall as this gives me a idea of where the sun is and how tall the vegetation will be surrounding my plants. The more remote your location the better. I plant females so i don't do big holes with a bunch of plant's these types of grows are always busted by the chopper's it seems like.

Try to give your female at least a 2x2x2 but if you can go bigger go bigger, remember the bigger the roots the bigger the plant. You will want plenty of direct light for your girl's this very important. I see people all the time on here planting in indirect light and wondering what's wrong with their plants. I usually won't plant in a spot that i can't get at least six hours of direct sunlight, and i would prefer more. I have found in my twenty years of growing guerrilla that Marijuana plants love the morning sun if you can get them in the morning sun they will thank you for it.

Next is your soil additives, in my experience most organic fertilizer's are your enemy in a guerrilla grow. Blood meal and bone meal mainly, The animal's love these fertilizer's and will destroy your plants trying to get to them. I use a good time release fertilizer mainly because in your ideal guerrilla grow you will not be visiting your plants very often. I have had good luck with osmocote in the years past, and this year i used the Heavy Harvest line from Advanced Nutrients with great results. I also like to add some perlite and compost to my native soil. Peat moss is a great additive to add to your site. Aot of people like guano's for their Mj plants this is a good idea if you can get your hands on some. If you feel the need you can pack in your own dirt if your native soil is not good enough.

Another great additive in a guerrilla grow is water polymer's. These will drastically cut down on your watering needs i advise you to swell them up with water before you take them to your hole, a couple handful's of these will add alot of weight to your harvest. Dolomite is also a great additive in your holes, if your using a hole consecutively i suggest turning your hole after you harvest and adding some dolomite lime and a handful of fertilizer, even compost if you wish to.Your plants will thank you next year for it.

Your next worry will be protecting your plant's in their wild and aggressive environment. Fence is a good idea but is also visible sometimes. If you do use fence remember to hide it or take it home when your done so that hunter's will not see it in the fall and winter. There's a product called Liquid Fence that i have used with great success without fencing. Apply every two- three weeks or every time you visit. You will also need a pest control i use liquid seven spray.

Past few years i have been dealing with leaf spot disease outside in my area. Liquid copper is a great way to treat and prevent this, it also helps with many issues your plant may have in the wild, powdery mildew..etc...I have talked to people that like to spread rose food with sulfur in it at the beginning's of the season to help eliminate any problem's down the road.

There's another product called Eagle 20 that grower's are having success with that work's as a systematic.I have not used this product yet and as with anything read all you can on it before you decide to use it. Your plant will encounter many nasty things in the wild that will try try to destroy her. Preparation and prevention is the key to success.

One of the most important factor's to a successful grow is to tell no one your growing. I can't stress this enough, many grower's have lost their harvest to so called friends.

Well, guy's i could go on for hours but im not going to. Feel free to add any of your experiences and tips. This is not set in stone this is just one man's style of growing. Let's make this a open discussion to learn from each other.

Hi my friend im very into guerilla growing and im gonna give it a shot.

I would like to know more details on how to choose the right spot that is my main concern along watering in the hot and dry summer so access to water is also important. Whats your advice on location and on watering? Do you carry yourself the water to the plants from home or you gather water from a nearby source? where i live is quite dry theres no water around in the wild.

Then you would be left with carrying from home, which i do quite often because water is not readily available in my area either. For nice plants you will want a minimum of six hours direct light hopefully more. Invest in the water polymer's and it will save you alot of work next summer and increase your yield dramatically.Your plants need water to grow and thrive. In a 3x3x2 hole i would use a few handfuls of pre soaked polymer's. Maybe a half gallon or so. I never measure anything it's all done in handfuls and pinches...lol

Let's get back to growing. My ideal time to start putting my plants out is mid May. But it's possible to get a good harvest planting up into early july. I have some clones i put out on july fourth this year that will easily a QP. Which for the amount of time i have in them i think is a good return on my work.

Thanx for the info tristy. Im new around here, and i wonder why there isn't a guerilla section or sub-section on the forum. It would be great to make the ultimate guide for guerilla growing. I think this is the most challenging and difficult way of growing but also one of the most rewarding. I wanna give it a shot next season i will give it a small go to begin with something like 5-6 females in 2-3 locations. I will begin in february to scope my surroundings and look for potential sites. There are so many things to consider it's a very challenging task (getting everything right to the harvest point).

In Feb, the surroundings will look much different than the times when your plant is out there.
Not to discourage you from looking at this time, but keep it in mind.

Next year I am bringing my supplies out while there is still snow, or just before it snows again to cover my tracks.
I will toboggan, sled, or quad all soil to the area and hide well. Backpacking it all in through the thorns, wet and soggy woods is a bitch.

Yea im turning and getting ready for next year as soon as i harvest, i have found a couple more spots already this year. Right now is the best time to scout IMO. Your sun has already made it's move southward and you can see where it will be for next year.

Are you digging holes now? I agree on the best time to scout.

This year I think I hid my plants a little to well in some cases. It is sometimes hard to imagine what the surrounding vegetation will look like in Aug. when you are planting in May.

Others might want to make sure when they head out, they need to consider how it looks to anybody who happens to see you or the vehicle.
I always dress like I should be out in the woods and have a story in case I run across somebody who wants to talk.
I am looking for Morel mushrooms in the spring, or maybe bird hunting, complete with small binocs and a bird book.
Depending on the area, I might also be trying to find my "lost" dog.

No Haven't bothered yet, i will turn over my current holes before winter though and any other's i can manage to find. Afterwards you always want to make sure and hide any trace of your grow. Because hunter's and hiker's will stumble upon these and return next fall. Been to busy lately to turn any holes. I plan on getting it all done though before winter hits and freezes. It's nice going to your spot in the spring and the ground breaks up nice and easy with no rocks and roots to deal with, I plan on adding a handful of lime and 19-19-19 (mainly because i have this on hand) and some composted manure. Then covering up the ground and making it look as natural as possible.

I know we got more guerrilla grower's in here i'd like to hear from you all and see how we can learn from each other.

If your preparing your sites in winter or prior ,make sure you mulch,and thick mulch, dont leave worked holes exposed to cold weather,snow etc.

if you can put a real fence in with post holes ,wired to posts and wired up and pegged down ,do it. If someone is close enough to see your fence they are already on to your patch anyway.(found tracks, saw you. saw your car etc.)
