Marcos
Hi, My name is Marcos and here to tell you about my 1st ever attempt at an outdoor guerrilla grow. I have 4 plots that I prepared over the winter - each plot will hold just 4 plants to minimize the risk of them being busted and if one did them all is not lost yeah - All plots have been turned over and bulked up with Coco blocks (30 odd!) and expanded in Bio-Bizz grow & fish mix water.

Plot1: 1st I have already planted out my 4x PurePowerPlants from Nirvana Feminised Seeds, these were around 4 weeks of Veg indoors when I planted these out and I visited them last week. As you can see they're doing OK, a few nibbled leaves but no other rabbit/pest damage, the chicken took care of them - good growth, they're just under my knee cap:








Plot2: Next up are my Dutch Dragon plants from Paradise Feminised Seeds, these were planted out last night and are 5 weeks vegged indoors:









Plot3 is going to have 4x Maroc and Plot4 will have 4x Purple Power, all by FemaleSeeds. All 8 plants have been vegging indoors now for 7 weeks, the Purple Power's will go out 1st as these are already 20 odd inches high and that's excluding the pot height! I may put them out this weekend all being well with PiCs guaranteed!

Keep logged,


Marcos.

They look well cool. Are u growing in UK or what sort weather?

Good luck, if u have hassle with slugs pour raw oats around the plants, slugs n snails hate raw oats and will keep away! Looking forward to seeing your results. Let's hope all goes well for you.

Hey magic, thanks for looking in and the kind comments, yep the plots are great, south/west facing with lots of nettles about - a close cousin of the ganja plant apparently hence why I picked these plots.

I'm just reading through your Outer Realms thread as I type, great reading!

Yes you're right badboy, I began to run out of chicken wire roll so I had to make do with smaller tubes, they should be OK. WHilst on this subject when can you safely remove the chicen wire? When do the rabbits nat bother with the plants??

Excuse the spelling but I'm smoking my indoor PurePowerPlant that I just finished and I'm slightly screwed mentaily, PPP for those who havn't somoked it is VERY heady and trippy flowers.gif ermm.gif


dazed&confused
haha! yeah stoned.gif

Marcos
Righto!

I just got back from putting out my 4x purple Powers and 4x Maroc's, I'm stung up to fuck because some dimwit forgot his gloves .. arrrgh.

Here's some scenic photo's from 2am last night, temps were are 8-10 C so that's my breath you can see.

You may want to look at these pictures whilst listening to "Songs from the Wood" by Jethro Tull ....









[b]I'm putting all 8 of the Maroc & PP's in Plot 3 as Plot 4 has not vegged out stealth wise as much as I'd liked so they're all going in the above Veg City guitar.gif


Marcos
Right, here's a big fooking hole, u half fill it with pre-fishmix-expanded Coco blocks, add some water crystal pre-fishmix-expanded too, put yer plants in, some more crystals, more coco, a bit of blood, fish and bone mix, a few slut pellets, cage it up .... NEXT .... and this is what you get:[/b]











Another 2x PP's







2x Maroc and a kwik fix repair to the main stem that I bust and fixed on site, I hope she pulls through:










And 2x more Maroc's:








I know the above look shabby but in a few weeks they'll look like this ... my Pure Power Plants that I checked on last night too, looking good, now growing way over the chicken wire that stands 0.5m high:













What are your thoughts guys smoke.gif

backofthemountain
looking good marcos. oh the joys of creeping around the woods at 2am! ph34r.gif only point i might make, you may want to stake in your chicken wire. my vegetable patch in my garden has been flattened by something over the w'end. either a deer, or a rolling fox (i have a dog, they roll in each others smell as any dog owners will know).

are you going to train them in anyway? they gonna be big come september!
zadtop
Hello Marcos, lovely photos mate. They look super duper...

Keep us informed... please!

I want to see some ten foot monsters come autumn!

Marcos
Hi guys, thanks for looking in!

This coming weekend I'll be visiting all 3 of my sites to see how my plants are doing, I have not been anywhere near them since the end of May/begin June, I'm quite excited to see how much they've grown the past month but it's been very wet all of June with little sunshine, we'll see - I'll be taking my camera so expect pics galore wink.gif

I'll be visiting the plants at the end of each month to see how they're doing, if I visited more it'll just add to the odds of the sites getting busted excl.gif so there will be this visit, one at the end of July & August and in the middle of Sept the Maroc's will be ready to harvest, then towards the end of Sept the PPP's will be ready then it's the Purple Powers and Dutch Dragons in the middle of October yahoo.gif

I'll be expected to be stoned CONSTANTLY throughout 2008

Looking good mate. Forget the oats though, they just attract pheasents and with how close your chicken wire is they'll just uproot your plants(they don't eat them just uproot). Apart from that mate it's all good.
All the best. BFM out

Measuring the tallest:




NEARLY 5' (FIVE FECKING FEET!)






Nice thick stem :o)






Wanna see my Maroc's?
Marcos
Heres my Purple Power's pictured last night, looking OK;








The biggest being measured;









A tad over 4 feet, I'm happy with that!




Marcos
Here's my Maroc's on parade;








Again, measuring the tallest;







Around 4 feet, coolio!








Marcos
And finally, here's my Dutch Dragon's ... Number 1;







Does anybody know what has caused this damage???









This plant/bush is what is just above this DD, is it this plant that is causing the erosion of this DD?








Here's Number 2,3 & 4









Another 5 footer with hand size leaves;

Thx for looking in MM.

I vegged them indoors for around 6 weeks so that's why they've really taken off, they ranged from 12 inches to just under a couple of foot with the Purple Powers when planted.

SOD IT! At 5am this morning I picked up my camera and went walkies to have a look at me ladies, a week early than planned as I intended to visit next weekend. I visited all 3 plots but for some reason my camera would not take any pictures so you have got videos ---> I'm uploading as I type ...

So you can get an idea of the height of the plants I am 5' 11'' and I video'd all the movies at eye level, let's rock ...

OK 1st up you have the Pure Power Plants. These are doing great, the tallest is way over my head and I'm 5' 11'' so the tallest is around 6' 4''. The last measurement was 5' so and foot and a half growth in 20 days aint bad! These PPP's sure do smell amazing, my hand still stinks wonderful.

PPP

Next up we have the Purple Powers, all counted and present. The tallest is again way over my head at over 6ft. Note; the last plant in this clip is a Maroc I tied down on my last vist.

Purple Power

... carrying on from the last clip here's the Maroc's, as stated above I tied these down just as an experiment to see what happens lol.gif. They are blooming like good un's - check the flowers on these buggers, these smell different to the PPP's ...

Maroc

... and finally we have the Dutch Dragons from Paradise Seeds, these are looking great too and smell delicious, the 1st plant is still being munched on as shown - later on in this clip you see me discovering that the tallest plant from my last visit has collapsed but is still alive, she seems to be trying to grow a knuckle where she has bent. I think she'll be OK, I'm not sure what happen here? The the prickily bastard growing next to her drag here down and bent her till she snapped? ...

all looking tip top mate. hope it stays good for you smile.gif

Lovin those vids mate, well jealous! No wonder no ones commenting on my grow as it's shit!!! Major lesson learnt, don't plant out healthy plants too early. You've got some real nice plants there mate, hope the weather pans out and you get a great crop. At the mo i'll be lucky to crop an ounce.
All the best buddy!

Excellent stuff marcus .. one thing in case you ain't aware .. that stuff throwing out the white flowers is bindweed ... its a real fecker of a weed ... it snakes out along the ground tiill it comes across summity groewing vert and then proceeds to use said host as a stairway to heaven .. and yes it probably did bring your plant down .. get out there mate and cut all the shoots that are growing up into your plants .. take my word for it .. its a killer if left to roam .. yinyang.gif

just re watched u'r vids mate ... cut that bindweed away from yer plants mate ..

You are so right Smeagol, them bastard bindweeds are strangling my plants! On my next vistit I'm gonna take my snips and cut them down, I tried on this visit with my bear hands but they take such a tight grip on me ganja I ended up damaging one plant.

(I didn't know what they were called, something new learn't today, thx)

Hi Marcos ... when you cut that bindweed don't try and take it of your plants immediately as you will damagae them .. go back a couple of weeks later and you will be able to take it of with minimal damage to them .. that stuff is every allotment gardeners nightmare mate .. good luck mate ... yinyang.gif

Yep thats what happened, I tried tugging the bindweed of and it took some nodes of with it, not good. I'll do like you said and snip and return a few weeks later when it has dried off.
