B.c. Outdoor Grow 2008

Hi all,

I reside in beautiful British columbia. And this summer, im planning to pull a grow which I have been anticipating for nearly 3 years. The Location is a semi industrial area. Beside a highway near factories, but even then, the location is large enough to set many plots. Here are the breakdowns of the grow:

STRAIN: GOLD SKUNK, THAI RAIN, NARPAL, SWISS BLISS and an amazing outdoor strain i came across named raspberry.. a relative to friezland

GROW MEDIUM: worm castings, perlite, dolomite lime, fish emulsion, local dirt, and also my secrete organic mix. Polymer crystals

The plants will all be started from seeds and I will be tending 7 plots of 60 plants each, coming to about 420 plants. A nice number to work with.
Obviously this op will not be solo. I will be working with a trusted partner.
There are many methods I will be trying out this summer such as LST, Burying entire LST'd plants so that branches act as individual plants while the main stem roots in soil.
The watering will mostly be manual watering, But I will have rain water capturing systems set up.
I have chosen these strains because of certain reasons, Skunks create uniform buds and are geneticaly stable. Thai rain offers a later harvest due to being sativa, thus allowing harvesting to be evened out. Narpal and Swiss Bliss are both early flowering thus allowing them to be harvested mid sept. While the Raspberry will be a tester.

The plants will be vegged indoors under floro's or CFL's for one month and moved outdoors in JUNE giving them 1 1/2 months of outdoor veg. My approx. Yields I am hoping will be around 2-3 Oz per plant.

Pictures will be posted soon..
This is a mother plant of the seeds I will be using..

Im getting my popcorn ready,this is right up my alley.

You better have a great area for 420 plants...that's crazy

I'm watching this one!

420 plants is fucking retarded. pure and simple let me say it one more time.....fuck-ing...weee-tarded. how are you gonna move this amount of plants? how are you going to water? how are you going harvest and transport w/o getting spotted...especially near industrial business and a highway? the smell is going to be nuts...whos land is this? is it canada's land or privately owned? that is way...way to any to deal with with just one "trusted" partner. you are setting yourself up here dude...i dont want to bash...it's just that 420 is a big number of plants. you will only be able to haul maybe 40 at a time...you do the math. you are going to be making so many tripps...for planting...tranporting your vegged seeds...picking out the males...omg dude...good luck thats all i have to say. i wanna see this...i will be watching

wow... this will be sweet.

will be watchin this one

HAHAHA you crazy fucker!!! Go for it!! you got bigger balls that I do!!!!

420 plants, thats what you call a ganja farmer. your gonna need a tractor for this one j/k good luck

make sure you can count to 400 before u start growing that many plants, clipping 420 plants will ruin u, u better give edward scissorhands a call

This will work

Thanks for the comment guys

BOOBOO:
I have thought through the entire process many many times. I have a large area to manicure, dry and cure the buds. My partner is like a brother to me and I am willing to put my life in his hands. I know this grow will be devastatingly hard, but I am willing to do this. I am not too worried about harvest time as I have mentioned before, I am growing early, medium and late bloom plants so I can even out the harvest work load. I just love growing, its not even about compensations of final product. Just the ability to look at your own babies give me a satisfied feeling. I have grown at this area before and even though it is semi sub-urban, it will definatly hold these plants. Males will be destroyed during veg cycle, plants will go out once the sex is known. Watering will be easier than most grows as my area is a little bit marshy and also has a constant stream running across the area. It will be a difficult grow for sure, but im sure it will all be worth it in the end.

I will be trying to get more strains to work with. I am very interested in growing MDZAG's masterlow or blue stout. It would be an awsome side project to work on for production of seeds and what not.

I will be trying to make fem. seeds this summer by the introduction of false herminization to the best looking plants
This is a picture of 1/4 of the seeds I will be using.
The other pic is of a Gold Skunk which i grew indoors for seed production. Very sturdy and strong genetics

Alrighty. May 1st. the season has begun!

Here are all the seeds i am currently germing:

trainwreck - GHS
lowryder 2 - joint dr.
gold skunk - doc bush seeds
mighty might - BCBD
Raspberry - Toronto420

Me and my buddy have just been visiting sites, suprisingly.... more than one of our spots have another grower within a couple hundred yards , we found huge water jugs, soil, black bags everywhere.. but then again it is BC

you got some balls planting around other people crops but 420 plant is out there in size you might as well pitch a tent becouse its going to be a full time
job hope you dont have a family lol

i'm think the same thing as you kinda... wel i was only going to do like 100 plants and hoping for atleast a pound off each plant but the reason i'm not going to is because unless you have a phat house to dry it out in your bud will rot... good luck i hope you post some pics and keep us all updated on the progress

dude in B.C. 420 is mediocre
I know people who shoot for a thousand every time.....
not to say all the plants make it but still.
it is possible

was this by any chance inspired by the Brown dirt warrior?

This is going to be fun to watch,I really hope you pull it off

Wait a minute. Not only are you planning to grow 420 plants near a highway in a semi-urban area; you're actually planning on having a grow this size within a couple of hundred yards of other growers? You say you trust your buddy with your life... how about these other growers? Do you trust them with your life too? Because that's exactly what you're going to be doing.

You found their sites easily enough; what makes you think they're not going to find yours? And how do you think they're going to feel about that? There's nothing I hate worse than finding some other doper's shit within a few hundred yads of one of my patches. Because no matter how good my own security is, the safety of my crop is now totally dependent upon how good that guy's security is, and if I found his shit, it probably isn't that good.

I have actually walked away from good patches because I found another grower's garden too close to mine halfway through the season. With my crop, i don't have to worry about anyone ratting me out to Leo, because there is not one single soul on the entire planet who knows exactly where I grow. I do it that way for a reason. I don't know shit about this other guy - for all I know, he's some high school kid who told his whole class about his marijuana farm, and now half the cops in Illinois are taking turns watching it from a duck blind. And maybe watching my crop, too. It pisses me off, and if I weren't such a decent guy, I'd probably rip up all those other plants just to take away his reason for ever coming back to that area for the rest of the growing season.

I'm sorry, man, but this is just plain loony. The security risks here are just insane. You're obviously not going to listen to anything the rest of us say, so I'll just wish you good luck and be done with it. The best thing I can say about this is that this is a benefit to those of us who take security more seriously. The easier it is for cops to find headline grows like yours, the less time they have to spend beating the boonies looking for guys like me. I thank you.

Dude Props, i heard of bigger being done but allot more sophisticated with large green houses on their property so be careful maybe try scoping new spot in butt fuck knowhere which i know is possible mainland or island.
just my 2cents
cheers!
