Hey there folks
Well I am stepping away from my normal keep it to myself habits and posting some links etc of my LITFA guerrilla grow experiment . I haven’t grown at all in like 20 years because i put family and career above what I loved … but its time to get my grow on and see how much I remember , I am big on organics ( probably because that was all we had back then lol ) so everything is organic certified or home made by me
you have to excuse the use of chemical control for slugs/snails- I cant deal with them on a day to day basis so needed a fix for the long term
So I have begun the LITFA Guerrilla grow experiment .
The area you see cleared in the photos was supposed to be fully dug out and super soiled, I just couldn’t get it done with everything else going on with the family - the missus Father passed away
But - Such is life as Ned Kelly once said
this was set up quickly on the 11th September
4 x 4 hole fenced for the moment with chicken wire - keep the bloody rabbits and kangaroos out of it , they can smell pot a mile off and go crazy for it . I have had a 5 ft plant stripped to the main stem over night by Kangaroos in the past
My super soil mix - plus I buried 8 whole fish at the bottom of the hole with water crystals - ground water level sits about 5 feet down give or take as a clay layer comes closer to the surface in this area , soil seems to always be damp ish most of the year
2 x 20 ltr drums with blumat drippers ( runs approx 128mils per day as soil dries out so the manufacturer claims )
2 x Gelato x OG ( Seedman )
2 x Jack Herer ( ILGM )
1 x Agent Orange ( ILGM )
1 x Franco’s lemon cheese Dutch passion - maybe… I cant remember
and a white widow auto from ILGM I had spare from another trial auto flower plot in my front yard - hope the missus doesn’t spot them lol
the blue and green stuff ya see is snail and slug pellets - as the seedlings get hammered by the pricks of things .
these plants where supposed to go into a larger area which is why they are a little cramped and no doubt I will lose a couple for various reasons
the below shots ( if they worked ) were take on the 11th Sept 2019 ,just after planting
I have a couple of short videos on youtube about how these plants looked around the 8th November ( @livingthedream ) if the links below dont work out ,sorry I’m old ( ish ) and busy working right now lol
the last 2 links are of the original Patch and a new setup I did after seeing the results of the first trial as I left them on the 19th November
the second patch is a different soil mix I have been brewing for a few months
I’m testing out which gets the best results …At the moment Soil test 1 is coming up trumps , but I wont know more about the comparisons between soil mixes until January when I finally get to see the girls again
anyway I hope you like it ,after reading threads on this site for the past 5 days and seeing what you guys are doing . I have much to learn from you all
cheers and keep on keepin on
