I think you're going to like this...

can't sleep... Well, it's me, a year later and many many hours spent browsing the growers posts... Before I start this, I want to say that none of this would have been possible without you guys, your passion, and Our passion for this incredible plant. May we strive to continue it's legacy and undermine it's enemies.

Strains: White Rhino, NLXShiva, and maybe a sativa freebie if they germ.
I'm growing these outdoors, gorilla style.
However, after reading a few threads here and researching growing in Trees,
I've rigged up a sweet little platform about 15 feet up, direct sunlight, 360 guard branches just high enough to lst a little and bring in maybe an ounce. . The tree is the type with thick furry branches, the kind you would want when hiding something inside of it. If the White rhino in the tree isn't a female, I will discard it and replace it with an lsted wr female from my other gorilla spot. All plants will be lsted.

You'll love the pics I take, it's a very beautiful perspective.

I'm using Whitney Farms premium potting soil-75% (which I didn't quite realize was organically ferted already, but thats ok, It has a good ph and my test kits seem to favor it as well)
vermiculite, -10%
worm castings - 15 %
and foxfarms Grow Big and Tiger Bloom nutrients.
I'm also using water jugs as pots, 1 gallon jugs until i've properly lsted them, and transplanting into 2.5 gallon "faucet" kind of water jugs that you fill cups off of.
I germed all 10 nlxshiva and 5 Wr's. All fifteen germed, which I wasn't expecting. I will update with pics of everything mentioned when they have all sprouted.


My only concerns for this grow are People and nitrogen. I'm spreading the plants to three different spots, but all three are obviously not in my closet behind a lock.
I'm also a bit worried about n levels, they might cause over fert or a deficiency, but i've read that whitney farms premium potting works pretty well for a pre-ferted mix, and I don't have to worry about any nutrients for at least 30 days, which I'm extending to 40 so as to remain safe. :jointsmile:


Just wait for those tree pics, they're going to be Pimp :pimp:
goodnight or goodmorning everybody

Cool, can't wait to see :)

Good and Bad news.
I realized how much of an idiot growing in trees is when you can find perfectly wonderful guerilla spots. Good news: I did. :)
Plus the tree was too near people, if anyone had gotten a whiff and seen a slight discoloration in the upper branches it wouldn't of gone well.


I also started taking this a bit more seriously, and I'm hoping for at least a pound of high quality weed. In cali that's... something over $4500. And so far... I've invested about 200 bucks. Pretty good deal ;)

In order to up the yeild, I realized the most important factor seems to be pot size, which indicates the amount of medium you're using.
So, today I ventured out and bought 2 bags of perlite, and a really really good soil called Garden and Bloom. Has practically everything you top soil growers preach. Also, I bought some neem oil based pesticides.
This, is going to be SO awesome.
I mixed everything together with some more worm castings and the rest of my vermiculite, and watered it down.

My seedlings were slow starters but are really showing improvement after I flushed the pre-ferted soil. Even this one little retard is showing determination to get smoked by me!
Life is good.

Pics of everything, enjoy :) (as well as some trippy christmas light tracers I made with a friend. I love this camera)

p.s. I have access to a tap near my grow, and tap in these parts seems to be around 7.2. Both my soils are ph balanced, but would just a tiny sprinkling of baking soda per gallon help me out? Or should I just assume the soil is already perfect and forget about it? I'll prolly do a run-off check...

More comments the better!
All comments welcome.

I wonder if the squirrels will aid me with my grow.. :hippy:

You know... what's the point of doing a grow log?
If I have probs i'll just post a question thread.
w/e.

It's so people that havn't grown, or want to better their next grow, can get a sense of the process it takes to do a grow.

Well... if you put it that way... I guess the little effort will help some other hopeful smoker, and I can certainly empathise with that.

Thanks.

looks like you certainly know what you're doing, good luck :thumbsup:

Ok, well, for the newbies then :)
I have the seedlings in 6'' plastic cups, and I poked holes in the bottom with a pin to improve drainage and co2 intake.
This is 10 days in so far, 9 out of soil. They all look relatively similar, all on their second set of leaves, two got munched on a little by buggies but are fighting hard.
I use another cup filled with the same soil mix to gauge the weight of wet/dry soil. Seems to be about every 3 days they need a good watering, though this varies with temps and humidity of course. I live in south california.

niiicceee i am growing guerilla style too. my link is down below.

Yay! Only 2 days later and they have taken off! They must really like this soil, I'm guessing they've eaten up all of their own nutrients and started intaking all the organic stuff in their pots. This is phenomenal, I feel so proud of myself for making it this far, And I have a feeling that with even more love and care, these beautiful peices of nature, which we are all part of, will flourish.

Pics! I just watered, midday. I'm not certain how much getting munched a little by buggies effects seedlings, will it stress them so much to cause hermie?
It won't matter, what's done is done and I can only wait and see.

looks like your off to a good start, do you have some sort of insect spray so they dont damage the leaves any further?

ok you caught me i didnt fully read the thread :mad:

well then i cant add anything further but great job so far! :jointsmile:

Thanks invision!
This plant grows So fast, I swear just in the last couple hours of it being watered half of them grew another centimeter!
I love being able to take a tiny thing, smaller than a pebble, and give it a little water, and see it turn into a humongous living thing. Growing is awesome!
I also sprayed them with a little neem oil this afternoon, as I don't want any more visits from those mj appetizing critters!

20 days veg, everything transplanted into at least 1 gallon containers.
Watered everything, applied new coat of neem oil, and killed one beautiful 6'' because her surgery went wrong.

Tonight I move them to their permanent spots, may God bless their sexy greenness from the perils of rabbits and evil bipedal things we call Republicans.
edit: oh, and I found two baby hoppa's resting on my plant. Good luck I say.

Well... Take this however you wish, make your judgements, I don't care anymore.

I killed all but one plant. 14. I don't know. I just felt... the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I can complain and give all the reasons, but it isn't going to change the fact that I gave up. I'm only 16 and this isn't what I want to be doing with my life anyway. I spent practically an entire year on these boards studying growing, and when I finally have all the knoledge I need, I end it. In a way, it was a positive thing, in the sense that it helped me "let go". I guess this is a major spiritual thing in my life right now, and this descision was only one of many.

I have one baby left. If she lives, she lives, if she grows balls, she grows balls. Sexual orientation means less and less to me anyhow.

I also... Shaved my head. And my eyebrows. I look very much like the scary man in Lost Highway. But it's not about comparisons anymore. I want total spiritual peace, and I'm willing to give up all self-ego-image.

Ganja helped me see the light, and I will never "quit" weed,
but I don't think i'm going to make it such a priority anymore.
I don't identify with any "stoner" culture, I don't have any real friends,
and... I find less and less about "normal" life appealing.

I want happyness.

I'm sick of the artificiality of this bullshit.

Maybe I'll travel to some kind of commune...

Very interesting turn of events, all i can say is that everything happens for a reason. Its probably better that you come to this realization at a young age, it takes most people many years to come to such a conclusion. I, myself, questioned my religion late last year and came to the conclusion that I was an atheist. Ever since then, i can appreciate and enjoy the beauty in life itself. I dont need a god, or to know whats right and wrong, I KNOW whats right and wrong, i dont need a book to tell me so. I was brought up hindu, and unlike most other religions, there are many hindu's that are atheist, but i dont even identify with them. I know there is no god, and I know that our little planet earth is here for all of humanity to enjoy. Good luck to you and your future endevours.
