DutchGrower420 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 About a year ago we moved to a gorgeous little mountain village somewhere in the European Alps. Unfortunately we moved here to late in the year so I wasn't able do to some planting last season, but I decided there and then that 2012 would be the year of my first mountain grow.Luckily I still had a bunch of seeds from great strains left from my previous Dutch Attic Grow-op:LA WomanOG18Purple WreckSharksbreathSilver BubbleEarly April I started germinating all the seeds. Since I don't have any growing equipment here I had to make my own propagators from 1 white and 1 clear drink cup that I taped on top of each other with a drainage hole in the bottom and some air holes in the top cup. For light I just used the sunlight in the windowsill. That worked better than expected actually and they sprouted like good seeds should. From 25 germinated seeds I eventually kept the 18 strongest looking plants. (4 died and 3 just don't want to grow)I have scouted the surrounding mountains and marked a bunch of suitable spots. I plan to plant 3 plants per spot, which will come to 6 spots in total.Since I only want to go back to the spots as few times as possible before harvesting I have to create a soil mix that, given ample rainfall of course, will get the plants thru the growing and blossoming process without adding any additional fertilizers over the coming months.The plants are all color coded with an elastic hair band that I can easily shove over the cup and onto the stalk when planting. That way I will still know which plant is what strain when harvesting.For each plant I will dig about a 35 liter hole.The soil mix that each plants gets consists of:30 Liters of premium quality fertilized potting mix earth with root complex addedPerliteVermiculiteSea Bird Guano(Bat) Guano KalongWorm CastingsBlaukorn (Bluekorn)Bone MealTo repel slugs I will add slug pellets around each plant.To repel deer I will put a bar of soap in the middle of the 3 plants, scatter some dog and cat hair around and spray the area with a home-made spray of garlic, raw eggs, cayenne pepper and water.Over the next 2 weeks I will start carrying up all the stuff to the various spots, dig the holes and eventually plant all my ladies. With 1 starting load of carried up water they then pretty much have to fend for themselves.As I've said, I won't go back many times, so don't expect any weekly updates. But I will for sure take some more pictures of the planting and I probably can't keep myself from a few picture trips over the season, so stay tuned!All my ladies in the sun!Color coded ladies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam-Bhole Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Lots of weight to carry - 3 plants with 35 litres of soil each plus tools + the pots with the fine looking ladies in the wilderness in the mountains takes some planning - you won't be able to carry all you need for one spot at once - Maybe bring 50 litres + tools one day - dig them holes fill it up halfways and return with the other 50 litres another time. When everything is ready bring the plants - you can bring plants for 2 or 3 spots of course. Well you probably planned something already - just beware of the weight of a fresh mixed 50 litre bag of soil. Moving it from one etage to another is already a bitch for me but maybe you are Arnie Schwartzenegger...lolGood luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrower420 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Oh, but I so realize that! And no am nothing like 'Arnie'. Is just going to be a bitch, but well you gotta do some work to reek the benefits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrower420 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Well, today we went out to a garden center to buy most of the stuff needed for my Guerilla Grow Project. Really am NOT looking forward to carrying all this stuff up mountainsides, but you got to do some work to reek the benefits.Only stuff that is still missing is the Vermiculite, the Guano Kalong and the Worm Castings. Those I ordered over the Internet and I hope they will arrive any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam-Bhole Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 What will you do with the soil, if not bringing it outside ? I guess you found a spot nearby a street or something like that.. Carrying all that on your back up the mountains is for nature boys only..lolGood luck with your project ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-Bhole Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 BTW the summers are short up alp sides, so i would try Autos - need less soil as well..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrower420 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nope, every spot that I picked out is a minimum hike of an hour up mountains, far past roads and/or hiking paths.And the summers are normally long enough here, I did a bit of asking around before I invested in this, and it turns out that most of the tokers here plant some in summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrower420 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 I will do it plant for plant and put all the stuff I need in my backpack. Also I will always take my dog with me. That way I look like a hiker who's out with his dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
