Bucket in the tree

I have been wondering if anyone has ever tried this. Make a flat surface with maybe some plywood. nail it up high in a very green and leafy tree and place a heavy wind efficient bucket or one you can nail through on the platform paralell to the ground and grow right there. It would be very hard to spot by people not aware of any plant there. who would think of it being in a tree. I think this would work excellent and matbe the plant will respon to the light better. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS?

What a pain hauling all the water, ph kit, moisture wand, pots and potting soil for transplanting, fertilizers, still more water, etc.

mogie is right; you will have to go to the tree so much that you will wear a discernable path because of all the trips you have to make with water.
If no one will see and follow the path, and you are committed to this endeavor, you can do it!

It is easier and more rewarding (yield wise) to skip the container and see if you can scout out a nice sunny safe spot to put your girls right in the ground...
I only use containers that are easy to water and move with zero chance of any one observing me.

id recommend that u find a tree and remove just enough foilage for your plant. a little missing patch of branches or something. i consider an outdoor crop a physical endeavor like ninja training.. u will need to access inaccessable places 1-2 a week =)

i am a very dedicated person. me and a friend spent hours and hours looking for one guys crop. he taken ours the previous year.

this is a very common practice in hawaii. noboy reads the cannabibles? they devoted the whole first chapter to this. it just resently came out Jason King Cannabible 3. you can use burlap bags to grow in. as far as nutes, a guano surface feed is timed release so that's not to bad. just a matter of water. i've been growing 20 years and i still don't own any test equipment. just learn to listen to your plants. they will tell you what they want.

A friend of mine did just that. put it in a 50ft tree beside his trailer. Fed it by hose, only went up a couple of times, and got the bud

AWSOME, the support feels great knowing some of my ideas dont rest with me alone. what did he grow, Big harvest?, what did he use as a flat surface, did he climb it or a latter or somethin

ha im doing thast right now lol

my uncle said he used to grow ontop of tree's long ago, he rarely watered them or did more than get them to clone size and put em up there. i dont think he lost a single plant.

burlap bags sound like they may dry out your soil quick with a little breeze going through.

This idea sounds awesome, I would love to see some pics if you ever get it going. Ive read about people doing this before, but only books.

Ill be doing this, this year

i reckon you can get away with it seen it on some other site if you stick it in the v neck of the tree and set a little run to the plant the rain will feed it whith water i growed some in garden last year easy

i know the perfect way. get a BIG BUSHY tree the biggest.. and chop down a section lets say 10x10x10x10 woodfloor and have it so the sides cover view and then you would make ur clones inside, and take them output em up there at nighttime and make it blend in with the rest of the tree so kind of a SOG, plains wont have a good enough veiw to tell the diff, and yeah i think it could work.

i kno it will work to

ummmm..... hi fdd

you are a lucky FOOK...

I agree that watching your plants is KEY (very very very important, cornerstone of growing)...

but so many people live in areas with fooked up pH... a pH test is vital for MOST indoor growers.. also a cornerstone to being a great grower!

i li ve in the redwoods of north cali, if i found a tree i could actually climb i could pull off ninja crops like they were falling from the heavens,wouldnt indacas grow better and have beeter support than a sativa in high winds?

For growers who live around a lot of manzanita or around other small scrubby type trees placing containers in the canopy level is very common. A lot of growers who use this method (at least that ive seen) build surfaces to place the containers, use big containers (minimum of 5 gallon), strap the containers down to the platform with bungy cord, and have some kind of automated or easy to use watering system as some of these areas can be hard to get to carrying buckets of water. Hope it works out for you.

its turning out good
if you wana know
one month in ill tAKE A PIC TODAY
