Pepe Ramon Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I'd be shitting it every time it rains, especially in a good downpour, river levels can rise dramatically and with little warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I have always wanted to do this but on a raft. I might experiment with a few plants this year if I have the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchFox Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) @all thanks you i succeeded in surprizing you i gues.... 1....a boat is just a pot and we all know...a pot in guerilla is far from ideal... and...there is no drain in the pot.... thats why there is wood below in the boat....the idea is that there is the water buffer. and that worked for sure.....the plants made roots for soil....and made water roots same as in hydro.... of course...when plants are small and excess rain......the excess water was taken out of the boat. the bucket you see in the pics was used for that..... when plants were bigger and no rain...the boat needed water. this plot was used 4 years....then the boat was found in winter.... to give you an idea of the plot....wetlands....and a small lake was surrounded by trees. the boat was dragged 800 meters over land in winter to its place. the boat was secured in the middele of lake for full sun. what does it take such a project... 1..you need a boat to get there. 2...a partner who like to fish nearly every weekend 3...the drive to make a plot....to get a smoke..... so several hobbys combined Edited March 29, 2023 by DutchFox 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchFox Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 offcourse...growing in wet lands is not easy....so for genetics you need to look for auto...super auto or early semi-foto... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In smooth flowing water that might be the case but, in a raging torrent, after a flash flood, nah, I simply wouldn't risk it. Maybe use the boat to get to somewhere more inaccessible but that's about it, plus it's a boat, it's watertight, you're not going to put drainage holes in it are you?

Did they grow roots out of the boat into the water no....but on the bottom of the boat there was wood....and that was the water buffer.....water roots sucked it up.....

kc stoner Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Could you use rope wicks buried in the soil hanging in the water so they wouldnt even need watering ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
