203 plants in my backyard - awesome!

Hi people this is my first post. and id like to share something with you all; i live in western massachusetts-USA. it is june 24 and i started growing a little less than a month ago. my biggest plant is about 5 inches tall and most of them are trailing closely in size. i have grown before but it has always been un-organized guerilla growing that i paid little attention to, and always yielded a disappointing harvest. so this year. my friends dad gave me a shit load of seeds:thumbsup: which is always cool. The seeds are all different kinds of weed he had been saving up for a while. N E way my girlfriend and i have alot of land behind our house and its very out of the way and private so I'm not worried about police or nosey neighbors. so far we have cut down some growth and crap and tilled the soil. then we germinated the seed in sandwich bags with a wet paper towel in it. then we put the germinated seed in the soil and some in planters, just because. the plot has great sun exposure and decent soil. the only issue i have really is I'm concerned that i started too late in the season to have even an ok harvest

here are some pics of my crop


sorry, my camera sucks and i took these pics at night. also ive never seen them at night untill i took these they look wilted and the next afternoon they look much better. who knows. Ok so if anyone can tell me what they think about my crop, is it a wasted effort, did i start too late in the season? It'd be much appreciated

lowryder

doesn't care it just finishes 90 days from germination time, except during winter months

Nice, W-MA represent.

Couple suggestions- COVER CROP!!! Get your butt down to Agway and buy a BUNCH of tomato plants, plant them between your rows to add legitimacy to your garden. We seem to have a bit of a helicopter problem in this state... your plants are pretty out in the open and need a better disguise. Making a thin slurry of water and flour and adding a couple drops of red vegetable dye can be used to further disguise your plants by changing their color just slightly. Paint or spray it on the leaves.

Thinning- you may want to cull runts at some point to give the more vigorous plants space.

Timing- you're late but not obscenely so. The crop will NOT be a wasted effort by any stretch.

nice crop dood...alot of plants too...i have a crop of 20 or so plants when i was in texas...nice wooded area tho...cover yo shit...

so hood

i appreciate the help peeps.:jointsmile: and yes i am hood!

how long is a piece of string?
you could get nothing, if you are spotted... you could get a LOT if the plants turn out very healthy and you care for them right.
No use in trying to plan your financial future around a cash-crop... too much can go wrong... don't quit your day job! :D

Hmm.. 200+ plants, 100 females (if you're neither lucky or unlucky mind you). 1/4 pound dry per plant (low balling for good measure)... 25 pounds dry. I hope you have a good place to dry that much.

But being realistic I would just heed stinkyattic's wise words. Expect nothing and be surprised at whatever it is you MIGHT yeild.

Oh that's another thing I forgot.. yield is much lower when you start as late as you did, giving your plants less time to delevop a large root system.

alright thank you guys you've been very informative. especially you stinky attic im gona go get some tomato plants soon. and please tell me more bout the flour and water thing.

i'll keep posting new pictures when they get bigger

viva my thread!

the flour thing is a trick that one of the growers featured in 'marijuana success vol 2' used to hide plants in his garden. i have yet to try it, as i am a happy INDOOR grower lol, but the theory behind it is that LEO and ripoffs are looking for a certain shade of green. tweak it, and you could throw them off.
but IMHO that technique is better suited to a situation where you have a perennial garden full of ornamental plants and want to toss a couple cannabis girls in there... disguising them as decorative foliage plants would keep Grandma from IDing them when she comes for the labor day BBQ, lol.

The tomatoes between rows is more practical, because
a) growing veggies in rows is nothing out of the ordinary- you'd have to be looking close to be like, um, there's not just tomatoes down there.... wtf!
b) tomato foliage looks jagged from afar and cannabis blends in
c) the shade of green is fairly similar
d) the fruit are distracting and you can even hang red spray-painted Christmas tree ornaments off your pot plants so they look like maters
e) can i have some tomatoes? lol i live near you and like to make vast quantities of spaghetti sauce for the long Berkshires winters... :D kidding. you keep your maters and make your own sauce.

their is a strain of maters called big boys i think im not too sure, but if you look at them not too close youd see that the leaves are jagged and pointy like pot, makes you think

put these in your soil, they absorb water everytime u water and squeeze out water when soil is dry, thus reducing the chance of a hot day dehydrating your plants
