I like locations where I can get a good view of the surrounding area (excellent vantage point of incoming/outgoing traffic) and an easy escape route in case of possible problems. Its best to set up a tent only if there's a good place to hide it from choppers who may see that shit easily and recognize the plants after seeing your tent. Set up your operation not far from a water source for your operation.

When it comes to soil - I think that its overrated to bring bags and bags of soil with you. I use the cheapest soil option possible and get great results. Its all about how you take care of your ladies, i.e. nutrients and maintenance. Blend good soil with native medium 50/50 and save on bringing too much heavy shit with ya. And besides, the ladies love sandy soils. Having a pair of really good binoculars helps with monitoring of your area. If you have portable power, you can even set up a 1000 feet range motion detector system if there's a local road nearby and you can get a warning of incoming traffic.

Its very possible to live with your operation for 3-4 months of the season. Buy a good water filter and dried food packs (the ones where you just add water + heat) that are good for 20 years.

I know someone who goes to British Columbia (province in Canada) every summer to do this very same ultra-remote guerrilla operation. I've never done it because I don't have a truck, just a car! He invests $3000-$4000 in seeds, nutrients, food and equipment and easily makes 20-30 times that back. With remote operations you can do as many plants as your local water source can allow to support. We don't have state lines and road checkpoints here, so you can literally drive your crop in a truck across most of the country without getting stopped once :)

1. The location & all the way that i’m walking to get there, is not visible from others hills (unless i know the hills are only deep forest area with no trails & is difficult for people to get there). It's not the best think, to someone sees you, gets in your place, sees your stuff & you don't even have a clue about it. It happened to me & it wasn't very nice.

2. Remote

3. Not easy to get there

4. Good sunlight

5. I can park my vehicle somewhere that is not visible from the surrounding area

6. A near water source is also a great deal, but in my region I couldn’t find a decent place with water around (yet) so I have to transfer it


That’s the most important for me that comes to my mind right now. If you didn’t see already this topic: https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/462407-outdoor-growing-faq-read-before.html
Then do.. Much infos about guerilla.:bigjoint:

A place I found is great really remote dense Forrest here in Humboldt on timber property in a clearcut that happened 5 years back got deer cams I check with a digital camera before watering along with a tent under trees to scare of anybody if there wondering around along with a water pump to pump the water uphill from a creak that is dammed with pond liner and is filtered through screen mesh then filtered into a 55 gal drum dug into the creek bed so I can easly hook up pump with not clogging from Derby when growing 200 plants guerilla don't use your property and take every precaution neccisary be ready to haul ass if camp flys over you have a machette on hand those fuckers won't get them all ha also am in the process of building a drying shed art the location that will be heated with propane heaters to compensate for the drop in temp at night and soil is over rated get a soil sample and add proper amendments its a weed don't spend thousands on soil how you think cartels grow think they haul in 4 thousand bags of soil lol till lime perlite chicken shit remote remote tell nobody good sun water source and grow a lot or go home ha hope that help!!

Good stuff guys thanks.

I am trying to decide right now if I want to go remote and set up a little work site where i dont have to worry about keeping anything hidden.
Or if i want to jus plant the sprout in the native soil and leave no trace.

I am thinking if i dig some deep holes ( 4 feet deep 2-3 feet wide ) And fill it in with some native soil and some brought in amendments (compost , guano ect. ) that should be good enough. jus grab a little folding army shovel.

whatever ya wanna do one thing i always remember is plant more then ya want say your aiming for 10 pounds each plant minimum 4 ozs 40 plants plant around 60 would be a good guess remote is always better your a ghost in the woods especially if found you will hear those fuckers and know if there onto you before they know your there bring a dog with ya walk to your shit let your dog run around while you check your game cams set up sticks on trails look for footprint small things pay off!! and your dog will know if people are close and have nothing on you just say your walking your dog you have to be actually watering or mantaining the plant in any form to get busted!!

unfortunetley i dont have a dog. but i can bring binoculars or somthing to say im bird watching or something .

I agree remote is best cuz like u said your like a ghost. You can set up shop and not worry.

As far as planting goes. i am not able to start them inside , harden them off, and take to the spot. i might have to wait til the weather is nice then jus put the germinations at the spot with a little tiny green house .

Any thoughts?

Sounds good what I use to do as I still live with my parents is germinate seeds then put in solo cups with soil get a zip lock bag and put over the top of the cup then use a rubber band or string to fasten it on also cut slits in the bag for air causes a greenhouse affect and keeps the humidity high and you water less cause most the water is trapped longer from precipitation I've did 100 seedlings at a time works great.

How long would you leave these seedling in the "solo cup greenhouse" unattended? would they grow and pop through the plastic covering?

i am jus worried about putting germinations out at the remote spot unattended. scares me . lol

Wow so most of you guys camp with your plants for most of the season ? Must be some serious grows! I'm going to buy somegame cameras for this season coming,mainly so I don't spend 8 months gowing plants only to have them ripped off, Do you guys run just one strain for big grows?

Ok here is some stuff I learned off the top of my head

Always Plant near a water source. If you do not, your garden will not succeed. And if you can plant downhill from a water source as this makes everything easier.

The southwest facing slope is best.

Top of the ridge gets the better sun.

When digging holes WIDER is better than deeper.
Make your holes 2 ft deep and 4-5 ft wide.
Reason is that the roots need oxygen to flourish and that means the top 2 ft of soil. Down further than 2ft the oxygen diminishes because of compaction.This saves unnecessary work and saves on material costs.

Organic blood and bone meal draw animals.

Do not plant near trails or other signs of human existence.

Never dry your herb in the same place you grew it when doing guerilla. Make another well hidden camp in a separate safe location that is only for drying.

Don't tell anyone where your crop is.

Well those are some pointers from many years of doing outdoors, indoors and greenhouses.Done years of guerilla and am now growing legal hillsides. Good luck :)
