hey pothead funny I was looking for thread about guerilla growing and I also live in michigan and am growing guerilla style as well. This will be my 4th year as a grower and second season outdoors last year I started out with 30 plants that weren't the best genetics and ended up paying for it. At the end of the season some plants werent fully mature by the time it got cold and just didnt fit our climate I ended up with 14 plants due to weather, males, and bad placing. I put half in an area where I knew they'd get water all year and we got a ton of rain needless to say they were over watered and only 3 master kush plants actually made it to their full potential producing about 150 grams per plant. all in all I cropped about 3 lbs that I had to share with one other person.
Which brings me to a point. MY MISTAKES
I would highly recomend buying strains that are high end genetics and are fully mature by the end of september, this way weather permitting you can let them go past their 8 weeks into october. My main mistake last year was thinking that it wouldnt be too cold in mid october but I was quite wrong, see plant growth slows at 50F and anything below 40F it completly shuts down and can harm new growth and soft tissue alot of times in michigan we get snow by holloween or its aleast in the low 40s-50s. I also made the mistake of buying liquid nutrients now this isnt a big problem if you can get to your crop 2 times a week, I could my partner was just a puss and I needed him to get there it was off his property, but I never made it there enough to properly use the nutes which where the complete techna flora line for veg( not the best nutes but did the job for small indoor grows) and sensi bloom from advanced with carboload and big bud..This grow was a last minute thing and I really had no money my seeds where from KC Brains and were like 20$ for 10 reg I also had master kush from white label which were a little better but the genetics still where pretty bad. I didnt prepare at all and relly didnt scout but once for a quick second...bad idea..and my yeild and end result as well as complications I had showed lack of preperation. The only good thing I got out of last year was a single feminized strawberry cough from dutch passion. This plant I kept at my own house and took very good care of her she was lst'd to keep her conceled and was my prized personal that I actually just smoked the last of a month ago.
This year I'm planning to crop out and move to cali! So I need the cash to make it there and I'm going all out. Heres my plan:
While learning from my mistakes last year I spared no expense and bought the best genetics and nutes I could. I went with greenhouse seeds Great white shark this strain is a very heavy yeilder outdoors and is fully mature at 8 weeks at the end of september hopefully I can let her go a full nine weeks my buddy got white rhino from greenhouse as well which is around the same done in september and yeilds big. As for nutes I went with advanced nutrients new(I think its new) heavy harvest -spring, -summer, & -fall. This is an all-in-one time release nutrient that comes in three phases one for each of the seasons I chose this so I dont need to nute every other day just once a week at the most, to go along with that I also went with piranha and turantula which contain microbes and benifecial fungi for great soil life and happy roots! carboload to feed the microbes and fungi, voodoo juice agian to make monster fuzzy roots, because the bigger your roots the more nutes a plant can take up and the bigger it will grow, and finally big bud agian because it made such a noticable difference in bud size and weight nd amount of bud sites the nutrients alone cost 400$ plus another 300$ in seeds.
So in march I plan to go scout out my plots and as soon as the ground is thawd out enough dig my holes about 3ft wide x 4-5ft deep and place a pound of alfalfa hey at the bottom of my holes this will attract worms and alfalfa is very high in nitrogen. you could place an entire bale under the soil and feed a plant pretty much all year. The worms will eat the hey and produce worm castings and make a very rich soil but since I'm supplementing with nutes I'm only using a pound of hey instead of 10. After this I'm also going to add a bag of perlite or verm to the soil to help keep it loose and airy, plus some polymer crystals just incse the rains dont come. I'll be starting all the seedlings indoors at least a month and a half before its time to go outside this was another mistake from last year, I had started them only a few weeks earlier than normal and put them out when they were about 6-8 inches tall and since it was fresh holes the animals came to see what they could dig up as well and destroyed a few of my plants. This year I hope to have little bushes about 1.5-2 feet tall before there out in the woods alone this is the difference between LBS and OZ's on plants.
Other than that it's pretty much same ol shit get out there as much as I can without being noticed and grow some monster bushes to pay my way to cali where I can get payed legally to do what I love.
I'll keep you updated I hope this log goes for a long time for all the ppl in michigan even though our laws suck right now they'll get better we need to just keep pushing for the right to medicate!
few pics from last year
1 more month till 420.
