Don’t bother about that, here we have the Ugly plant thread and the Weird plant thread, you can see many of mines there 
. Your own experience with them is the best way to learn, here you will find also all the info and help needed, hope you will stick around, need to increase the european lobby in this site …

Sorry guys for disappearing for several months, but shit happened and I’m lacking the motivation needed to continue the guerrilla outdoor growing. It’s just too risky and time/money expensive for the rewards it’s been giving to me. Ofc growing your own is amazing, but after police destroyed many of my growing sites after investing the time, and money into a good soil, and they simply go there and just chop off everything. I can’t say for sure it was the police, but for now luckily I have never seen the people who destroyed my sites, because if I saw police destroying it, I would be in trouble for sure. Still have many great strains from OG left, and some feminized seeds from dinafem (moby dick and critical jack). Idk if I will grow next year, but I don’t want to be stressed and wasting my money/time for nothing. Only way to make this possible would be to have like a “safe spot” but a safe spot here is just too far away. That’s what you get for living in an urban area.
Let’s move on to the pics. Here is the spot where the plants were before being chopped off.
Only access to the spot is through the small water stream, but during the summer, the water level dropped a lot so it was a lot easier to go through but you had to get wet anyway.
Atleast we managed to harvest some autos in other spot, but they were only watered like once a week, so they were really small comparing to the our first autos experience. The spot was just too far way for us to maintain it well, and it was very dry, like in the top of a mount contrasting with our small water stream spot where the girls were growing really well.
They were really small but it was good for the summer. Really nice smoke especially during a time that was really hard to buy anything related to weed/hash.
After this autos, we had to focus on our last photoperiod plants. The maui sunshine and nepali temple and we added one more plant there but I don’t remember the strain it was. Maybe hindu kush.
The nepali temple turned to be a male and we still got some seeds from a auto I think, the maui was a beautiful female that eventhough with little water and no extra fertilizer, ended up producing really well for the conditions given.
Some pics:
The male, it was removed after
A few seeds, we got more though.
And for last the girls and her buds
The small one
The maui sunshine
Some buds now
So for conclusion, I ended up on a new hobby which is legal and it’s a big up for me, tired of “almost” having serious problems with justice. That’s not for me. Now i’m into brewing beer and I’ll move on to growing some peppers and hops which I can do right in my backyard, much more confort and noone will steal my plants
. Let’s see what I’ll do next year, really wanted to grow these fems seeds but idk.Guys stay safe, keep growing if you are safe ahah, and good luck for you all, hope you are healthy during these hard times!

Thanks bro! Always helping me out, certainly will ask you a few things, especially about hops, really want to be able to grow my own ingredients for the beer ahah. For now, I got an all-in-one kettle and some days ago I just did a munich dunkel and an american pale ale, but what I’m trying to see now is to brew as many styles as I can to see which one I prefer. Sadly, here in portugal the craft beer market is really small so you only have the classic lagers, and then some stouts and pilsner but that’s it. If I want to try new things, I have to brew my own. It’s still a recent hobby, like 3 months old but yeah for now I would glady accept suggestions for beers that you recommend me to brew.

Ru starting out with extracts and special grains steeps then ? Or are you all in with the all-grain mashing thing?
One things that turned my beers around is using pure yeast strains like white labs or wyeast strains they are more for specific strains when brewing but they can cross over into different styles as well

I started with extracts and with those starter kits but after buying an all-in-one kettle like this 
I’m doing everything from mashing to boiling. I wanted to be more in control of all the processes when doing beer, I’ve been loving this hobby like growing cannabis. The yeast I’m using is the recommended by my local brewer shop, I can’t really tell you what type it’s but when I do another batch, I will write that down.

Nice rig Iv never seen anything like that it’s cool if you can do specific temperature mash holds what’s your capacity on something like that pot?

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out as planned. Your autos look quite tasty.
Maybe sign up for the Australian Bastard Cannabis? It’s a mutant with quite a different look.
You can plant it next to your hops and claim it’s some strain of it. I bet you will want to try again next year.

Yeah I can control the temps and the capacity is 35L, I could get a 50L version but it was more 100€ and my fermenters only hold 25L so I do batches of only 20L. I only use almost half of the capacity of it. Only did 2 brews in it, but I loved it. It costed 300€ though, had to split it between 6 people, it was too much for me to pay alone ahah, luckily have my mates to do this hobby with me.
@allotment ahahhahah damm that really doesn’t look like cannabis I have to check that out 
good to hear from you! hope you are doing fine

I’m fine, thanks. Hope to harvest my tiny grow soon (Hibernate and Sweet Pure Auto CBD)
Have you grown peppers already? What strains do you like or plan to grow? I had about 8 varieties this year, some I liked were Limón, El Oro de Ecuador and Carolina Reaper.

yes, started them a little bit too late but they are flowering now. It’s still hot enough for them to flower. I have carolina reaper, bhut jolokia, black panther, jalapeno green and purple, tabasco red and yellow, fushimi, afrikansk, zambian, del arbol red, biquinho red and the classic piri piri from portugal. I plan to do some great fermented sauces after with them. Your plant is looking good and well camouflaged I would say. Hope you like your cbd.

That’s a great selection! If you’re interested in swapping some seeds, I kept some of all strains I grew. 
I’ve done hot sauces with fruit (mango, indian fig etc.) but no fermentation. Sounds intriguing. Got a favourite recipe?

Beautiful photos here of Portugal landscapes
I was born extremely east in Canada, so by nature I’m closer to the Azores lol what island you on?

Never done hot sauces yet ahah, but I want to do like tabasco sauce, you know. I don’t if you saw any video of them explaining how they make their sauces but it’s really interesting. I don’t have a recipe of my own but I’m really interested in this guy’s recipes, he has many videos about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqyA5zbps0&t=1081s&ab_channel=ChilliChump

Ahahahah portugal isn’t an island but we have some, like azores and madeira, and for sure they have a beautiful landscape just as portugal mainland.
I’m from Lisbon suburbs, which is the capital of Portugal. If I lived in any other place other than porto and lisbon, I would have really good spots to grow but that’s not the case

Haha ok cool… sounds like you should be living on the islands. I’d love to live in the Azores.
