Ultimate guide to cannabis guerilla growing

Cannabis guerilla growing are much more common than you’d think; people have been using this stealth method to grow for decades now. The idea is basically to plant your grow somewhere remote, away from any towns or villages, near a constant flow of water so you don’t have to worry about irrigation; you’ll practically only have to plant and harvest.

What is cannabis guerilla growing?

Guerrilla growing involves cultivating cannabis in concealed, outdoor locations. These spots are typically far from populated areas and have natural water sources nearby. Furthermore, this method minimizes the risk of detection and reduces the need for regular visits.

Pros and cons of guerilla crops

Guerilla grows have pros and cons like every other method; keep in mind that if you’ve planted in a remote area that you can get to, other people can get there too. You might end up with plants infested with insects, or maybe the quality might be bad. In this article we’re going to talk about the steps you need to follow to reach harvest time with your guerilla grow.

How to grow cannabis in guerilla

Selecting the right strain

The initial step is to choose the appropriate strain. For guerilla grows, it’s essential to select a resilient strain that requires minimal maintenance, thereby allowing you to visit your grow site infrequently and avoid drawing attention. Consequently, if you’re looking for some robust strains that can withstand challenging conditions, consider Skunk strains, White Widow, and Northern Lights, as they are all quite sturdy.

Choosing the perfect location

Once you have your seeds, you can start looking for a place to plant them while they’re germinating. Ideally, find a spot near a river or even a small stream. Additionally, look for an area with large plants or trees where nobody would think to look. If you need to get your feet wet and cross a stream to find a more hidden spot, then do it. It’s better to have an uncomfortable journey than for someone to find your grow and take it. Moreover, if you find a spot with sugar cane, you won’t even have to water them. After finding the perfect spot, clear some space in the bushes or cane so the plants can grow hidden but still get enough sunlight.

Dealing with water supply

If you can’t find somewhere to plant near a source of water, don’t worry; you can mix the soil with polymers that will help the soil to retain much more humidity and nutrients, although you’ll still need to go and water at least once every two weeks which can call some unnecessary attention to yourself.

Soil preparation

Once you’ve chosen the right place, you’ll need to prepare the soil properly. First, dig a hole, adjusting its size based on the number of plants you’re growing. For a large seasonal plant planted in March-April, the hole should be about 40x40cm and 60cm deep. However, if you’re planting later or using autoflowering plants, a hole of 20x20cm and 40cm deep should be sufficient.

Next, fill the hole with a substrate mixed with organic fertilizers. If you plant earlier for bigger plants, use a different mix than for later or autoflowering strains. The key is to choose a substrate that suits your terrain. For dry terrain, use a substrate that retains humidity, like Light Mix, All Mix, or BioBizz. Conversely, for humid terrain, use a substrate that dries out well, like Canna Terra Professional. To retain more humidity, mix the substrate with water-retaining polymers. If you need it to be drier, add expanded clay balls.

Fertilizing your plants in cannabis guerilla growing

If you’re growing in the springtime, mix your substrate with worm humus. This ensures that even with minimal watering, the soil will have enough nitrogen for growth and a strong root system. Repeat the dosage the next month to help your plants start flowering with just water.

For late or autoflowering plants, use bat guano once they reach the flowering period. Add two big spoonfuls per 7L of substrate in the hole; for 50L of substrate, use 15 spoonfuls. Additionally, provide a gentle organic fertilizer for flowering, like Bio Flores, occasionally, and you should achieve an excellent harvest.

Minimizing visits and maintenance

Minimizing visits

To avoid detection, visit your grow site as little as possible. Bring plants to the site only after they have grown enough to withstand pests or be treated with Neem oil. Reapply Neem every 20 days and water your plants. Carry large bottles of water to minimize trips and always take your empty bottles back to avoid leaving evidence.

Pest control

During the summer, use Bacillus Thuringiensis to protect your plants from worms and other pests. Regular pest control measures will help ensure healthy growth and a successful harvest.

To conclude, guerrilla cannabis growing can yield high-quality plants if done correctly. By choosing the right strain, finding a secluded location, preparing the soil properly, and minimizing visits, you can successfully cultivate cannabis without the risk of detection. Follow these tips and enjoy a fruitful harvest from your guerrilla grow.
