Transporting babies to patch

I'm already planning my field for next year which involves a good amount of clones that will be grown about a mile hike into the forest. I plan on transporting with a backpack and placing the baby clones into boxes which will obviously put them in a period of darkness. THe hike may take hours and I'm wondering if this will increase the risk of hermaphrodites???

I plan on finding a small stream or creek and running a 1 inch line into a water storage such as a barrel or trash can. The trash can will have a facet that will run 1/2 inch line through the patch that will have 1/2 GPH drippers. Oh yeah the barrel mush have a filter somewhere to prevent drippers from backing up along with a timer. This is prob the most convenient method and easily mobile to the patch.

Regarding the clonings, I'm think bout leaving them under 24 hrs of light for a day or 2 before transporting them in order to keep them from thinking its time to flower. Or I could just run the light schedule just a little longer than usual (2-4 hrs more) to compensate the darkness of transportation.

that seems like your going to need to find the perfect spot man, i dont have many streams near growable areas with minimal foot traffic in my area. also arent you worried about police doing aa fly by amd seeming all kinds of piping and big cans of water, not like they wont stick out in the middle of the woods, not trying to discourage at all man more power to you for new methods and shit, thats why i asked how you were going to water cause im looking for ideas hahahaha i wanna do a nice sized grow next year and so far my big problem is watering!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My potential spot will be far enough to where I can get away with this type of system. Yes I'm gonna have to search hard to find a spot like this haha, although it will pay off in the long run. I'll only need one storage can for water, about 50 gallon, which will be constantly filled from the main water source. The water line to the patch will be buried and all this watering equipment will be stashed in the grove off trees. Here in california the forest is very thick. I've done this type of irrigation before and in my opinion hand watering is not even worth it.

I've been hand watering all summer and finally we got a solar panel and hooked a pump to it with a 5gal bucket in the tree once the bucket fills up a tube runs from the bucket to the ground to the plants... Luckily there's a pool close to my grow so fuck hand watering...it works if you have to do it by hand but a solar panel has been so much more coninvient

no ,but you thrashing thru the bush ,shaking,bouncing them up and down etc prob will cause some damage. Pack them well.

Killer idea man, totally innovative and convenient!!! How do you ensure the plants get adequate watering? Is there some type of timer or monitor?

Yep I don't mind that a few might not make it, as long as the majority are all right. I'll just clone extra to compensate for transportation damage.

It's set up as more a drip irrigation than anything and I was just hand watering every 2 or 3 days and I had my homeboy rig it up it's not really on a timer but the battery doesn't run constantly it waters for about an hr then it kicks back on once the battery is charged back up... Doesn't water at night at all cuz the battery is dead by then without the sun to charge the solar panel to charge the battery... Make any sense to ya? First time he explained it sounded like gibberish but it beats that $3.70 gal gas burning bout $120 a week hand watering... It's not that complex and I suggest you to look into it if your sick of hand watering or just wNna make things a lil more easy... Good luck

Something I have long thought of for hiking clones into the back country is a pod or rack of pvc tubes with caps that the pots and clones fit into nicely, It would protect the plants from damage, be fairly light and would totally conceal the contents from any nosey passersby,
while perhaps a bed of a truck full of small chunks of pvc might be odd it's a hell of a lot better than a bed of a truck full of pot plants.
choosing a backpack which tightly fits a certain number of tubes that dosn't weigh too much would be very convenient.

Sounds like a neat idea!!! I was thinking of just packing them nice and tight into cardboard boxes before stuffing them into my backpack. Not sure how well my idea will work out, I guess it will depend on how rugged of a hike.
