I have posted about this in the outdoor section but being the noob that I am didn't realise how much more active this section of the forum is so I will keep posting here for a while
I was going originally to be setting up a small indoor grow, I had a few friends who weren't going to be growing anymore due to kids/partners etc (FFS this is when you need a smoke the most haha) and told me I could have all their equipment for free but that was maybe 2months ago and I'm yet to even see so much as a pot from anyone!
So being impatient and also wanting to have a homegrown smoke before Xmas has prompted me o take things into my own hands and I'm going to try a guerilla grow
I have found a few spots (thank you Google maps) I've 'walked the dog' to a couple of them to see them in person and yep they seem great, they just look like overgrown trees and shrubs with a bit of nettles and brambles from the outside but inside is a nice sized open space for I'm guessing 3/4 plants.
I I went a bit crazy on seedsman and ordered maybe 30/35 seeds of maybe of about 15-20 strains a couple of autos and a handful of fems, their deals had me hooked, especially the bitcoin promo! I can put up a list of the seeds if anyone is interested.
So i was going to go Coco with the indoor idea, but now I'm gonna try guerrilla I've bought a few things to try and help with planting them in the dirt not pots;
• Westland mp compost w/ john Inness
• doff chicken manure pellets
• doff fish blood and bone
• doff peat free lightweight MP compost
• slug pellets
• doff slow release fert & water storing crystals
• ive also got a few bricks of Coco coir
What else should I add to my shopping list(already bought the above)
Anyway I plan on keeping a diary to keep everyone posted on how my grow is going.
Tbh I will probably only be able to visit the sites maybe 1 X a week or 1 X two weeks so any tips on this would be appreciated
I couldn't wait anymore and had an hour or so free today. So decided screw it lets take the dog for a walk and get one of the sites prepped. Well it was horrendous, carrying 7L of water plus compost, fbb, a shovel, chicken manure, coco brick and a dog on a lead in this weather is ridiculous, definitely gonna try and streamline things for me next site.
I dug up he dirt (bone dry and super hard, thank you current UK heatwave) mixed in 10L of coco half a bag of Westland MP w/john innes and FBB, I also put a handful of chicken manure pellets at the bottom of the hole then mixed in a bit more on top. Unfortunately I only had about 2L worth of water left after drinking some and the dog obviously needing some and rehydrating the coco brick, so I poured that all over and mixed everything in a bit more. I'm hoping it's enough for now.
What's everyone's opinion on what I have to my site so far, any advice tips?
Also my seeds should be arriving in the next few days so when they get here I will start germinating them and give them 2/3 weeks to toughen up before transplanting them to the site, does this sound ok?
Thank you for reading that essay, I look forward to everyone's input.
