My Item List: (Mandatory for every guerrilla grower!)
- Bug Spray - Damn mosquitoes!
- Tarp - Mixing soil and when digging out soil you dont make a mess everywhere.
- Tree Saw - I only cut key branches on trees that block sunlight but you should always find a clearing where you dont need to cut down whole trees.
- Full Size Shovel - If you want a big yield the roots need big holes, I dig 1.5 foot diameter and 1.5 feet deep holes around 5 gallons of soil.
- Peat Moss - You want to usually add some additive to your soil to increase drainage and hold moisture. You can also use Manuer, Perlite, Worm Castings.. or combinations of all. Something like Berger's BM1 or Pro-Mix BX contain Perlite and Peat Moss and a bunch of other ingredients.
- Bucket - For watering your plants, or an empty large drum to hold water. Paint them black.
- Plant Food - To add to your water. Use Molasses 1tbsp per gallon during flowering for extra carbs to your plants and larger bud growth.
- For Animals: Chicken Wire, some people may not have any deer or animal problems where they grow. I also use cut up bars of Soap and Dog Hair to keep animals away.
- For Snails and Slugs: Copper Wire or Slug B Gone or similar product that is not harmful for wildlife.
- The stuff that you should already know to bring: Drinking water, Sunscreen/Headlamp (depends what time of the day you go out to your plot), remember you will be out in the bush for at least 2 hours at a time for digging/watering/planting/setting up.
- Clones/Seedlings of course!
I think I got everything there, I may have to edit this at some point to add more things.
Anybody got anything else they want to add to the list?
Update Plot 1:
All plants are about 10 inches tall except one that is barely alive. Ive transplanted all the plants to separate holes and added one mango to the bunch. I also fed all the plants with half strength Parkwood All Purpose 20-20-20 plant food. I am attempting to clone my one
Good work my friend. I totally understand what toting stuff in is like. The upside is that you will develop some muscles. I've been toting two five gallon buckets at a time since April, got to say it's buffed me up.
Since my plants are big now I have to cart in at least six or seven of those every week and a half or so.
Good luck and have fun.
But be safe.

Subbed. i know exactly what its like to pack stuff into the plot man... i had to pack 4x 105 CU bails of sungro mix #1 4x larga bags of grass clippings and 1 50 LB bag of wood mulch over a 2 KM hike.......

look on the bright side, you'll be ripped like BrownDirtWarriorthats what im hoping for haha
theres only one thing im wondering about right now with your grow.... how everyhitng will turn out without aerated soil, i cant see any perlite or anything else did you just put dirt in the holes or did you amend the soil?

i watched your last grow and am running 10 hybrid seeds of unknown origin for my current indoor cfl grow. I want to try an outdoor but will wait for next year...so im very excited to watch yours, i hope you blow the lid off that 10lbs goal!!!!
That second spot is killer indeed. Just 1 suggestion, next year research a product called Deer Away, a liquid concentrate that deters smaller rodents as well. It will eliminate the noticeable screen cages you use.
I second the deer away, i used a similiar product called liquid fence in a deer infested area last year and had no troubles whatsoever. The classic animal repellent though is scattering moth balls and chunks of irish spring soap which is what im using this year. Everything looks really good though and all that work will pull you a very nice harvest. Im not sure if this was what you implied but having buckets for rain collection is a wicked smart idea if you arent near a water source.
Couple of things for the list above: Alfalfa meal and kelp meal are excellent things to add to your soil as well as the peat moss, they add a lot of trace elements as well as growth promoting horomones. I also suggest making a nice compost tea to boost soil life, guano tea can be used for a boost during flowering.
On top of the shovel and tree saw, a bush axe or machete is great for clearing brush and a pick axe does wonders for digging up rocks and cutting thick tree roots. Also a pair a work gloves is much loved when dealing with thorns etc.
Finally this is rather obvious but is easily forgotten is a good compass and topographical map of your area, nothing sucks worse than getting lost in the bush. Good luck with the grow i'll be stopping by to check it out
There is no way to peace, peace is the way.
liquid fence is the way to go. There's many brands but i always use the one called liquid fence
That series BrownDirtWarrior did is amazing, its a lot of hard work.Subbed. i know exactly what its like to pack stuff into the plot man... i had to pack 4x 105 CU bails of sungro mix #1 4x larga bags of grass clippings and 1 50 LB bag of wood mulch over a 2 KM hike.......

I believe Bergers BM1 contains peat moss, perlite and canadian sphagnum. I should have probably added in more perlite to the mix but I just dug 5 gallon holes and mixed a couple shovels of dirt and then a few shovels of BM1 until the hole was full. I decided to put no bm1 on the surface of the ground because the snails and slugs would stick around with all the moisture being held in the peat moss.
thats a good idea not to put any on top, thats why i was confused,couldnt see through the top layer :P... the casing layer will also help hold the moisture in teh bottom. just remember to break it up every once in a while to allow for oxygen transfer.
