So i wont go too much into it coz i plan to start a proper thread once they get goin but ill give u a quick rundown now.

Ive got 25 plants of somewhat unknown origin that have just peeked above the soil,3 of which i will be growing in my backyard.
The rest i plan on growing guerilla style (which im absolutely salivating about),ive got at least 3 different 'plots' staked out to plant my seedlings (ill be cloning in the latter stages).
But my question is that of the soil,u see the space where i plan on putting most of the plants is very dry and somewhat hydrophobic and also i question the amount of penetrating light,coz theres a noticeable lack of mid strata plants and what is there i know are mostly rainforest species.But its lookin like its the best ive got.
So finally what i was planning was just to plant them in the existing soil in a month or so after hardening off, using only water saving crystals,slow release fertiliser and manually watering with flowering nutes.
Or the other option is using a fully ammended soil in 5L pots.(More expensive)

Did i say i wouldn't go into it too much?.....
please help me get the best result ppl.
Cheers.

No this is for this year,im in Australia though so it is the very start of the season here,i say it is spring here already though the 'official' first day of spring is in two days,we're lucky to have a long growing season,our summer(main)harvest is around March/May.

you shouldnt be moving pots around if its a guerilla grow, or is this like out in the middle of nowhere where nobody but you goes anyway? the reason i'd bury them is to keep people from seeing em while still being able to go get them and move them somewhere else if need be.

Yeh its a good point u make on the stealth issue,its not in the middle of nowhere,in fact there are well worn tracts within 30-50m,the tracks are on the northbound ridge and i plan on planting on both the E and W slopes.I couldnt see any evidence of people leaving the tracks though,ill be goin there on a weekly basis before i plant.Its only a reasonably small council reserve.

Leave em in the small pots until you are planting them in the bush. Reason being, you have to carry them concealed some how from your house to your plot.

How you planning on doing this?

Not that much new growth as yet,dont have the luxury of hydro like ur good self.
I'm not that happy wit this bunch of seeds,ive had to weed out a few weaklings but i was bloody stupid coz i germed all the seeds and i couldnt plant all of em so alot dried out and were useless,i can get more though.Those in the peat pots are stunted i think coz they dry out in like 3hrs in the sun n im not home till at least 2 in the arvo.

I planted one in whats been my compost heap for about 6 months so theres lots of good shit in there,i chopped a bit of privet n stuff to stack to try and obscure the view should the neighbour take a peak over the fence,i plan on topping and LST'ing that one,lets hope thats not a sniffer dog ay.
U think of anything i can put up thats not sus but will hide the plant?
