Natural camo is small plots and thick brush.

Whats up buddy?how ya feelin'? Now that the bitchin' is done,u gonna update us?lol

Been just resting and smoking some buds the last few days. Everything went good with the surgery no complications. I'm gonna work on it tonight, will update as soon as its done.

Good stuff balzac- taker ez!

Plot preparation is a key step to the development of any guerilla plot. When preparing a plot it is important to have the correct tools at your disposal. Lack of equipment will make the job tedious and exhausting. I recommend having at least a folding shovel to do the work that is required to prepare a plot. I usually use a standard shovel and as far as equipment goes if you have a shovel it will make the preparation far easier. I would like to stress now the importance of stealth at this point of plot preparation. The guerilla grower must avoid detection at all costs. People will be extremely suspicious of a person walking into a wooded area with a shovel. I recommended using night to your advantage. You do not even need to carry your equipment all the way to your grow at night. The cover of night will allow you to drop equipment just a few yards into a wooded area, than during the day you can return and move the equipment to plot. Every step taken is very important and will result in a successful guerilla plot.

The purpose of the shovel is obvious and not extremely complicated. The best plan of attack when preparing a plot is to prepare soil at least two weeks in advance. You should turn the native soil and add additives before planting any plants in a plot. The soil needs to be tilled and aerated. The easiest way to do so is with a shovel. The tilling of the soil is basically flipping the soil upside down and chopping it into a loose material. When the soil is flipped it will put vegetation and thus nitrogen in the soil. Aerated soil also promotes root growth which is key to growing monster plants outdoors. For each plant that you intended to place in the ground I recommend digging a two foot by two foot hole minimum. The holes need to be at least four feet apart from stalk to stalk and staggered. The reason behind staggering is to break up any lines in a plot. Plants planted in line plots are the easiest to spot from the air. The correct spacing will create a canopy of foliage that will be harder to spot from the air. Soil amendments and additives are very important to the growing process.

These amendments you will be adding to the soil will nourish growth and provide lush and healthy cannabis plants. I recommend getting a premixed soil for plot preparation. Every grower has their own secret when it comes to soil amendments. I am a cheap bastard so I use miracle grow potting soil. If you want to blow some money you can invest in a few bags of fox farms. I usually take my premixed soil and mix it with the native soil that was removed from the holes. The premixed soil should be able to provide the plants with enough nitrogen for at least the first couple of weeks after which you will need to start alternative nitrogen based fertilizer. Depending on the makeup of the native soil I also add sand and or peralite. The main reasons behind adding sand and or peralite are to promote soil leeching to prevent the plants from being flooded out. In the Northern hemisphere we tend to have a lot of rain. Sand also promotes healthy strong branching. The silica in sand can be used by the plants to help make sturdy robust branches which can survive storms and wind. I usually add a phosphorous additive near the bottom of the two by two hole and add some in the soil mix to promote flowering growth in the later months.

If you complete all of these necessary steps for plot preparation I can guarantee you will have a far more successful grow than past grows which may have been haphazardly thrown together late in the season. Preparation is key to a successful outdoor grow. Ask any farmer in the world without preparation failure is the outcome. Remember you want to prepare your plot at least two weeks in advance just one last reminder.

Got a bug up my ass and did the next chapter. kinda rough draft let me kno what u think.
[/FONT]

oh and the phosphorous addative i use is usually bat guano which is cheap.

im doing my first outdoor guirrilla grow soon with some auto ak47. they stay very short from what i was told.
i had a Q. since i wont be able to go water them every day is their a way or a product that will hold water till the plant needs it and then release it by its self.

Good shit man! Is there a way that when ur done,u can put this all bak together w/out the bullsh*t arguing?

I plan on doing it I have it saved on a seperate drive. Gonna compile it and add pictures after this years guerilla grow. So it won't be completely done till Fall.

yes it will, running water however will not. outdoor doesnt need to be watered, its a weed it takes water from other plants and the roots will be so far into the ground water wont ever need be worried about unless your in nevada.

This isn't entirely true. Regardless of whether or not cannabis is indeed a "weed" is irrelevant. It needs a lot of water actually. I mean, I guess it can merely survive on low water levels, but to produce large plants with lots of resin covered buds, proper hydration is a must.

For example, last season where I live in the Northeast (not a desert) it literally did not rain from mid June til mid July with average temps in the 90's. I was out there bucket bombing at least once a week during that time period. One time, as a matter of fact, I got there just in time as one of my best plants was starting to wilt. During that time, my plants were just surviving, not exactly thriving.

Now I know to take the water situation much more seriously. I suggest anyone looking to do a serious outdoor grow does so as well.

wooooorrd! Keep it up tho -this is good stuff! Until next time brah! L8r

I have an early revision of the first three selections don't know if i'm gonna repost it except maybe it will be good for new people visiting the thread and having to read all the BS. Working on the next section.

[FONT=&quot]So you want to grow some weed? Well, there are some steps that need to be taken in order to be successful at any venture that involves cultivating Cannabis. When cultivating Cannabis one must always recognize that it is illegal under the current Federal Laws to cultivate Cannabis. Even in states that harbor medical marijuana users it is illegal to possess, sell and or manufacture Cannabis. A medicinal user approved by state government is still violating Federal Laws. The first step when growing Cannabis illegally in the United States or any other country is to accept what you are doing is illegal. Society is slowly evolving and one day in the future Cannabis will be legally consumed by all adults as a choice of freedom. Cannabis cultivators are the Mahatma Gandhi’s of the drug culture of the world. We as a group must stand up and represent ourselves as a peaceful group of resistors. We are resisting using civil disobedience as our tool in our arsenal. The consumption of Cannabis in one’s own home is a victimless crime and such is cultivating Cannabis. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]To circumvent such laws Cannabis cultivators must be resourceful to avoid detection. We must take a chapter from history and the founders of the United States during the Revolutionary War. The states we confounded with the overwhelming power of the British Empire. The Revolutionaries had to be resourceful to take on the power that was the British Empire. Guerilla tactics were used against the British Empire to turn the tide of the Revolutionary War. We as cannabis cultivators must use these tactics to our own advantage when peacefully protesting Federal and State law. I propose that all Cannabis Cultivators take Cannabis back to its rightful place under the open skies. Guerilla cultivation has been used for many years, but as of recently fewer cultivators has moved indoor to avoid further detection and to produce the highest quality Cannabis under strictly controlled environments. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The production of Cannabis in an indoor environment is seen as the only way to produce the highest quality and most valuable Cannabis in today’s underground market. The legal liabilities involved with cultivating Cannabis indoors are astronomical. In the majority of the United States cultivating even one cannabis plant is a felony. Not all Cannabis cultivators can afford the equipment and risk involved with indoor cultivation. The factors that need to be controlled are numerous and will keep a cultivator on the edge constantly. The factors that play a large role in detection are odor, light leak, electricity consumption and supply movement. When a cultivator decides to conduct cultivation outdoors the liabilities are limited. When deciding to guerilla cultivate one must avoid liabilities by choosing a plot of land that is not by any means is associated with the cultivator or persons relating to the cultivator. The most necessary step to successful Guerilla cultivation is to avoid liability if the plot is discovered.[/FONT]





[FONT=&quot]Plot selection is above all else the most important step that is going to be taken by an individual when Guerilla cultivating. It cannot be stressed enough that the plot is going to be what makes or breaks the back of the cultivator. Any plot must be meticulously dissected to make the choice of whether it is or is not a place suitable for Cannabis cultivation. There are multiple variables that need to be addressed when deciding whether or not a plot is suitable. The location, direct sunlight, human presence and pest control. These variables must be studied to successfully find a location in which Cannabis will thrive and will be free of threats to its ability to produce.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] The first recommendation is to place the plot at the least a half hour walk from any kind of trail or road. The greater the distance between the plot and civilization will decrease the chances of it being discovered. The cultivator must also address the issue of transpiration of supplies when choosing a suitable plot. When looking for a suitable location to cultivate Cannabis one must spend hours scouting and mapping multiple locations. I recommend when traversing land that is posted to have a back story. I usually take my dog for a walk in the woods when I am scouting. You could also take a pair of binoculars and a bird book. Most people do not tolerate the presence of unwanted people on their private property. If you have a back story you can ease tension with an explanation and most likely will be able to head out on foot and not under arrest for trespassing. The use of a back story is highly recommended to anyone when guerilla cultivating. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] These locations must be scrutinized in every detail. Visualize walking down a trail or down a back road. Remember that it is always best to follow the path least traveled. When scouting the first thing to recognize is how often these trails and or road are traveled. Take a look around the area and the usual sign of the presence of people is garbage. Take into consideration the volume of garbage in the area and the age of it. It is easy to tell how old garbage is just by physical examination. When choosing a final plot one must make sure that there is no garbage within at least a half mile radius of the plot. If there is no garbage in an area than it is less likely that people will wander through the area. The half mile marker will also increase stealth of a cultivation plot. The odor produced by a plot is of less concern when cultivating outdoors. The trees, vegetation and wind will dissolve and mask the scent of the plot. The plot must also be scrutinized for the amount of direct sunlight that it receives on a daily basis. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The plot must receive in a minimum of at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. The best recommendation is for the plot to receive on average more than twelve hours of direct sun light. Success has been obtained by guerilla growers in areas that receive six hours of direct light a day, but yields will most likely suffer in decreased light situations. Plants will only average an Ounce of finished product in conditions that are less than optimum light. The best way to map the amount of direct sun light is to actually visit each possible grow site at three separate parts of the day these are sunrise, noon and sunset. If you record the position of these times of day than a sun map can be created. The time between the allotted sunrise and set will determine the number of hours of direct sun light a plant receives. Variables that must be taken into account are objects that may block sunlight during the sunrise and set. Time must be subtracted for any object that receives indirect sunlight during these times. The location of water is another important factor when choosing the location of a Cannabis plot. [/FONT]

Lack of equipment will make the job tedious and exhausting. Having at least a folding shovel to do the work that is required to prepare a plot is important. I usually use a standard shovel and as far as equipment goes if you have a shovel it will make the preparation far easier. A knife is the guerilla growers’ best friend when far out in the wilderness. It is single handedly the most important tool of a grower. What needs to be stressed now is the importance of stealth at this point of plot preparation.

Kinda dragging my feet going much further ahead. Anyone finding this of use in preperation for the upcoming season?

this is a very common way of getting busted, from the air. best to stagger like you said, also helpful to not do too many in one place. the fewer the better, really. multiple plots helps too.

had no idea about the sand. i would advise using A LOT of perlite, although seepage can make it less necessary outdoors than in a pot indoors.

no, i wasn't trying to put you down, hence why i said "nevermind".

i was actually pointing out the irony.

want another example?

some noob probably already read what he wrote and is further spreading misinformation...iv grown hydro by the river back

Click to expand...

he complains about bad information but then talks about growing 'hydro' outdoors, guerilla-style.

hydro is a method of growing, not a type of strain.

This is good stuff man. Some of it is basic and if someone doesn't realize it they probably shouldn't be growing, but its a good reminder to keep. Maybe touch on watering options/nute feeding...the hardest part of it all seems to be preparing the plots because of all the work put into just 1, especially carrying in bags of soil. I think its pretty good so far though, keep it up.

The point of this guide is to teach newbs how to do it right the first time and not get caught. Which is good for everyone. lol

im also a noreaster lol. really? it didnt rain? lol. coulda sworn there was a flash flood near the end of summer. among other precipitations. i used to grow outdoors. a small creek flooded and killed my crops in may of 97. dont water ur plants in a forest people. even if it doesnt rain for a while dont water. just trust me. a forest is always gonna be a forest. where theres treeas theres roots and where theres roots theres water. and if ur growing in a barren pine desert ur probably stupid anyways and it wont matter

yo expand on that tarp and garbage can idea
u can always dig a nice 4x4 foot hole or bigger and line it with a tarp and then bury the tarp so its not visible and it will act like a barrier and catch all the water and it will become like a lil pond and it would just look like a little watering hole from the air if done correctly
