water

that would deff. be a big heavy mattress to lug through woods and forest alone

It takes a lot of trips with 5 gal buckets in each hand. Hey bud, no one said guerilla growing is easy!

It obviously doesn't suit your needs...too bad as it has helped many others who had the proper access needed for something like this and a little imagination...

i know what you mean, each time i visit i have to lug gallons of water. and occassionaly at night i bring big 5gallon jugs......its a bitch but i sure love my ladies

OK lets see:
Water weighs over 8 lbs per gallon. A five gal bucket weighs over 40 lbs. One in each hand now weighs over 80 lbs. A small / med size water matress is maybe 150 gallons. Thats 15 trips carrying 80 lbs each time for what is in most cases a considerable distance going through what is usually very, very rough terrain to support a couple plants. Not to mention that we are all trying to be as discreet as humanly possible and go in and out quick and unoticed. Now you still have to carry in the rest of the needed supplies.

My question for you was not if it was theoreticaly possible with 10 workers and a team of mules. My question was this - Have you personally done it this way before? How did it work out for you? Was it practical? Would you recomend doing it this way again based on that personal experience?

Now lets look at a slightly different plan:
1. Prep an appropriate size bed for each plant thorougly by making ONE not FIFTEEN trips by using organic amendments, water crystals, etc. Heavy? You can do a 2 plant 3X6 bed by carrying in maybe 15 lbs of stuff including light compost or peat, water crystals, lime, ferts, landscape fabric a fold up shovel and a little mulch in a small or medium napsack.
2. Carry in a bare minimum amount of water when and IF you can during any serious drought periods.
3. Figure out from experience what you can yeild from this method depending on the average rain fall in your area.
4. Do the math and decide how many plants you need to put out to meet your needs.

Do you see what I mean? Is 15 times the trips in and out and 15 times the effort really worth doing for many people reading this? This may be the only way to go if you live in an arid, dry or desert like area, but if that's the case your much better off growing indoors to begin with or just buying. Growing outdoors in a desert in not practical. The only time I have ever heard or read about this waterbed method being employed is out in the state land in Cali where gangs set up tents and live out in the middle of no place on canned tuna and bottled water for the entire season growing what are like small scale farms. The only time you ever even hear about that, is when they are being arrested usually because the FEDS found this elaborate waterbed and drip line system and then followed the lines down hill. Is this really a good suggestion for people here, who are mainly small time guerilla growers putting out like 1-3 plants here and there?

My point was that its more helpful to post about things that you know to be useful and practical from personal experience, than to post things you read or heard about.

Sorry is it sounds a bit brash, but I think people should stick with posting experiences that have worked out good for them instead of ideas they have not employed successfully many times. Like some guy a couple weeks back who posted that you can't water plants with clorinated city water or you will kill them. Commen sense would allow you to remember how many hundreds of times have you seen someone watering a lawn or a flower bed or a vegetable garden with a garden hose hooked up to the city supply? BTW - Before you criticize my spelling I already know I can't spell to save my life.
