Bit of a placeholder.
This thread will be covering every aspect in my attempt to grow a wild crop. The location is remote and inaccessible via vehicle. My preference for this exercise is males and will be pulling the males from my indoor grow to use in this. The reason for males is self propagation and of course not wasting beautiful little plants. I’ll be out on site tomorrow, picture taking and planning.
My first question is can I use water crystals in cannabis? My other alternative was I might have been able to make up some water pots and make them water plants? Concerned on actual plant security too, alot more hungry shit in the wild. How should I setup so I can leave them for longer periods, chosen environment is very damp even in the heat so that will mitigate the water thing.
These are my original scouting pics, I went full topological and everything finding this area, it’s a part of a larger rainforest that’s privately owned and in a very secure spot. I know it just looks like a bunch of trees but it’s hard to describe otherwise.
You will need at least one female if you want to establish a grow spot that comes back each year. Assuming nobody finds it.
People are going to walk that railroad looking for spikes would be my worry
my worry would be when its time to harvest that someone would beat me to it lol
Abandoned track , I actually helped build this over 20 years ago. Gets a bit of foot traffic but the area I have chosen is going to be well and truly obscured.
Yeah oh well, shit happens hey, it’s more of a grand experiment more than anything
thats awesome you help build it, i say go for it. share the pics of the growth would be really cool
So this is my test subject and also what I will be planting too. It will hold 2 plants ( I’m thinking super pruning with the time length they would go unattended). I’m testing this at home first for viability and problems. The pot will have another bucket underneath that’s dug into the ground that will hold a nutrient solution, some holes will be drilled a bit higher up the bucket to let roots take hold on top, once they reach the solution it should give them the boost they need. Again just thinking out loud, I haven’t sourced the bucket yet but it’s like one of those food oil ones. Thermal cloth on top provides cover warmth and insulation and is very tough so should keep pests away. I tried a couple of variations but the inverted pyramid works best. Cloth is a bit green though so might need to darken it somehow.
Still working out the bottom part. Seedling in peat pot wrapped in thermal cloth, sealed with gorilla tape.
Looks like a great spot, I’d love to visit Australia sometime in my life.
I’m a soil guy so I’m probably biased, but I’d want them right in the ground if they were going to be unattended for long periods. Around mid summer my veggie garden tap roots find the ground water and then I don’t have to irrigate anymore. Backpacking water and nutes to that spot is probably going to be your biggest hassle besides the pests/humans.
Water is ok, I have a stream nearby. The ground is going to be too hostile. The weather here will overwtaer them too quick. The deisgn for the pot underneath will have a nutrient bath in a seperate pot , I have the proof of concept I just need to get the parts together. This one’s staying home regardless as my test bed. Yes Australia is a beautiful place, filled with some pretty stupid people too, lol.
