Guerrilla Growing Marijuana

Guerrilla growing marijuana is becoming more common across many states across the USA, as well as other areas of the world that have prohibited the growing and use of cannabis and marijuana. By using proven methods, designed to reduce many of the risks of being caught, guerrilla growing is often performed outdoors during the complete growing season, adopting different strains and methods depending upon the environment, location and climate. Guerrilla growing has been adopted across many parts of the world, including the the UK and Ireland, USA, and Canada to name just a few.

Across the United States of America, guerrilla growing has become extremely common due to the increased demand for good quality marijuana and cannabis continues to increase. Even with many states changing the laws, and decriminalized the use and possession of marijuana, cultivation and home growing are a separate issue and in many states strictly prohibited under both federal and state law. As there are many states offering good conditions from Spring through to early Fall, growing marijuana plants outdoors can be a low-cost, simple and rewarding, often generating extremely large, tall plants with generous harvests. Unfortunately many parts of the USA, prohibit freely planting marijuana seeds and generating your own crop, forcing many to adopt guerrilla growing methods through the growing season.

For a lot of gardeners, guerrilla growing marijuana substantially reduces the chances of found possessing, or cultivating cannabis. Although some states across the United States of America permit it’s use, there are many that do not, and growing marijuana is generally very limited. These guerrilla growing techniques are currently being used right across the United States, Canada and even in the United Kingdom which, although smaller, have adopted different guerrilla growing styles including growing underground, in the city and even using old shipping containers.

There are several guerrilla growing methods, and it can be done in a number of different ways, even though planting marijuana seeds outdoors, and away from your home and land, and in a remote, secluded places is usually the most commonly known technique, there is a range of different means of guerrilla growing marijuana plants, adopted right around the world, ranging from single outdoor planted seeds, through to much larger, more commercially based operations and black market enterprises. Whether it’s large, commercial set-up’s, or a fist-time beginner looking to grow some, good quality buds for themselves, the aim of guerrilla growing remains the same, reducing many of the risks associated with getting arrested for marijuana growing in the United States, or anywhere else growing marijuana is prohibited.

Selecting A Good Location

Having a good location for your guerrilla grow is paramount in producing a successful harvest. The security of both yourself, and your plants needs to be a primary consideration, but there are others to consider to. Your chosen area needs to be away from paths and commonly used recreational areas, look for places away from trails and roads, but close enough to walk from your home or car without causing any suspicion. Finding a good area can mean walking into secluded and remote areas, the more secluded and hard to get to the better. Selecting a good location can depend upon how many marijuana plants you intend to plant, while a few select plants can be easier to hide and disguise compared to a big cash-crop which obviously needs a much bigger area.

Marijuana and Cannabis plants need large amounts of water, especially during the growing and early flowering phase, relying on the natural rainfall may not be an option for many, others will have to consider how they are going to give the plants the right amount of water for their needs. Transporting cumbersome containers of water to your guerrilla growing area could be tiresome as well as hard work, as well as arousing suspicion should you be seen. Some of the best guerrilla growing set-up’s are close to a water source, lake or pond which you can use as a temporary supply of water once you are there. It’s important that you are aware of your surroundings, as many of these are natural pools and streams for a number of different animals some of which will enjoy eating your marijuana plants, or even attack you should they feel threatened.

Possibly the biggest benefit of growing marijuana and cannabis plants outside is the daily levels of free natural sunshine, and making sure your plants absorb as much as possible returns better development, stronger plants and larger buds. Selecting the best site to begin a guerrilla growing set-up needs to be balanced between the camouflage needs, but still exposed to allow the plant to get as much free, direst sunlight as possible. If it’s available, provide cover near the plant, leaving the plant exposed to the afternoon sun to achieve the very best energy and camouflage.

Sowing your plants in large open areas will provide very little, natural protection from the harsh winds and Summer storms which many of places across ‘middle-America’ experience. Many sativa dominant strains grow extremely large and tall, leaving themselves open to the elements. Large cola’s and dense buds can cause pressure against the plant’s main trunk and side branches, which may break or snap off when subjected to powerful and strong winds. Much of the time the winds flow from the same direction, therefore selecting a location which offers some natural protection from them will protect the marijuana plants and buds until they are ready to harvest.

Guerrilla Growing Location Considerations

Locate your guerrilla grow away from recreational areas, walked paths and public view, in a remote, seldom visited location.

Don’t rely on natural rainfall to adequately water your plants. Select a guerrilla growing location close to a natural water supply.

Shaded areas may camouflage your plants, but they need sunlight to grow strong and healthy. The more direct sunshine they receive, the more vigorously they will grow.

Marijuana plants exposed to strong winds can easily break, especially when heavy with buds. Try to find some natural protection for your plants.
