Guest bc pete Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 remember the days when waterbeds were all the rage? well those days are over and i am sure many can be had for cheap. they are tuff as the manufacturers did'nt want people drowning in their sleep!! in southern british columbia summers are extremely hot and almost no rain for two months if you are considering a outdoor grow in the boonies, this is an excellent method for your plants water source. in the spring, have the rain fill your waterbed liner, which has been covered by a green plastic tarp, then cover with branches/ overgrowth ( this is to protect not just from humans, but also uv rays which will break down rubber material. this system can be hooked up to a spaghetti line drip feed system. no fertiliser is added to bag. bloom feed is hardest task, as plant when initially planted with nitro morse time release N this will help your back if you are planning on lugging your water by hand. it also means, especially with the drip system that you need'nt go back for long periods/ less chance of detection something to think about for next year bc pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontz Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 :o What a great idea! Nice one pete... Sounds like you've had experience in this sorta thing. (??) I'd like to try an outdoor grow next year.. So how does the bed get filled up? I kinda didn't get that part... How does the rain get in there? Aren't water beds like big lilo's (sp?).. I assume they are like giant, rubber, sealed, water bags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bc pete Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 correct, and hi long time jontz we had pick up truck to drop off liner. this works particularilly well on hills with zig zag style roads (logging roads). use rain barrel with mesh screening to prevent leaves etc clogging supply lines rain barrel 10-20 feet above waterbed bag hose from bottom of rain barrel to waterbed. waterbed above crop site with drip lines you can have a network say five patches, best are craters left by trees blown over, roots ripping away at the soil in the process ensuring excellent soil in which to grow 10 -15 big bud in each site!! since in crater , harder to see, and excellent wind protection. certain size small craters allow you to blackout to trigger early if one so desires plant near nettles or baby alder trees which pump out lots of Nitrogen plant under power lines, keeps the bear in the air from spotting you failsafe year round slug protector 100% effective 1/2 inch copper pipe formed like a drip ring. form what resembles a mole hill around main stalk so copper sits on top. stalk in middle. slugs and snails cannot to the best of my knowledge, jump( although i would not be suprised ) just one touch against copper dissolves them into sludge works every time. though they should be cleaned with green scrubby to get exccess sludge build up. they will over time coat the copper with their remains so other slugs can sliver over their dead bodies to reach your girls. when planting outdoors don't leave glass around to start fires and pack out anything you took in (food, wrappers,foil, etc) leave it how you found it. and don't reveal the location even to your best friend. good luck jontz and anyone else doing an outdoor gro big yields, i mean really big yields can be expected from this method. do not go back and check, just let them go, get a gps handheld, so your trails can regrow. my next topic when i get around to it; growing herb in the middle of your blackberry bush, also highly succesful (seriously) bc pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jontz Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Pete, that's absolutely top notch matey! Printed, read and read again... get a gps handheld ! cheap... hehe I'll just try and remeber where I put em So big bud is the strain to go with methinks... Outdoor growing sounds like my kinda challenge. Next summer roll on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bc pete Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 no jontz, the one to go for methinks in this country would be the prince edward island afghan/ skunk put out second weeek ofjuly and eight weeks later. 8-10 feet frost resistant ( first two or three anyway!!) handles rain and storms and grows in the yukon and northwest territories northern lights also grows well north of the 50th parralel, hence the name. big bud cross northern lights, well that would be the one shitloads of guerrilla gardening trenches covered with cammo webbing the kooteney method any help at all jontz with outdoor, give a dingle now where can we find an old bus and bury it , exhausting thru a stream nearby little trap hole in the middle of a field!! roof lined with lead.? it is still operational above what is now a pig barn !!!!! exiting too bc pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Cope Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 What a wonderful idea. Now lets see. A waterbed liner, a pick up, a vast expanse of unadulterated land with perfect growing conditions, 15 mates too help set it up. Errrrrrrrrrrrrr, i think i'll stick to the loft!!!!!

Guest bc pete Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 this procedure can quite easily be done by one person the waterbed liner is empty when you take it into the bush and weighs about fifty pounds fifteen friends would ensure your crop would get ripped off the water barrel plastic should weigh about 20-25 pounds if you carry it in empty don't drag in as this leaves tracks p.s you can fit a king size waterbed liner in the back of a hindu pubic , er , i mean honda civic the barrel woulsd need a small van /pick up. actually with good weather this method is far easier to realise a monster crop some years are better than others. but it sure is worth it when a heatwave summer comes along you just have to go back twice during the season to apply bloom formula easy peasy if you have a good back and are a healthy young person you'd be amazed bc pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
