this thread is to discuss the pros and cons of growing cannabis in corn and sharing info on this genius way of guerrilla growing.
im new here but im in no way new to growing the MJ
Some people might recognize me from various other forums under the same username and also its not secret that have become very exited about doing guerrilla growing in corn cause it in my view has many pros compared to other growing ways.
last year on Icmag i started a thread about growing in corn and it has become a valued thread to find and share information on this kind of growing.
this year i started guerrilla growing for the first time in many years as last year was the first for a very long brake from growing but it was just some diffrent strains and crosses in my own garden..
But then i stumbled upon the guerrilla farming videos by BDW on Youtube YouTube - brwndirtwarrior's Channel and got very fascinated and watched each new episode with great expectations and inspiration ( bought his HQ dvd later), and this season i decided not to limit my grow to a few plants in my own garden, but i had 8 guerrilla spots besides that
7 spots with early danish and Nordic genetics in corn and one later finishing afghan strain in a forest
all where seeds grows as i then had seeds for many years and can concentrate in sensimilla and also make some of the seeds available on Seedbay later so that ppl outside Denmark can start enjoying the benefits of the early mold resistant genes we grow up here and is they key for us harvesting great potent MJ in an environment thats not suppose to letting that happen.
i hope this thread can develop into a great resource for other corn growers and ppl who might pick this up.
i start by saying the info on my grows is related to growing MJ in Corn in Denmark at 56 northern latitude but with local adjustments the knowledge should be able to be used in many countries.
first of all make sure you grow your plants in a corn field that is going to produce cattle feed instead of sweetcorn as the sweet corn is harvested a lot sooner.
the corn used for cattle feed is normally harvested here at first or second week of October, so make sure to use genetics that finishes at the end of September.
Here the frost has left the soil in mid May so thats a good time to start germinating and pre growing the plants in pots.
here the farmers use weed killer early in the season but planting them out in the corn mid June is considered safe as long as you scrape the top soil off around the plants to avoid contact with remaining weed killer.
once in ground give it a good start by watering it with a mild fertilizer solution, also ad some pellet fertilizer for a long term effect unless you plan to visit them several times a week.
a word of advice is DONT use pellet fertilizer just before heavy rain as it will wash down to many nutrients at once and can lead to the plants suffering from too much nutrients at once
when transplanting them out in mid June the corn is only knee high so work at night with use of only discrete and careful lightning from a flashlight or similar
i had to hit the ground belly down many times when transplanting but later on as the corn gets higher it becomes a lot easier as you only have to be sure not to be seen entering the corn field and once in the corn field its safer to work.
if you want seeds just let the best looking males remain and remove the rest but if a sensimilla grow is desired you have to visit often once sexing start to remove males
unfortunately i was without camera in the important period around harvest but ill soon post some of the earlier pix from my grow in corn this year and some from other corn mj growers.
i hope ppl will contribute with their own experiences and pix with mj guerrilla farming in corn.
personally i prefer growing in corn fields instead of forests as its easier, safer and much less work and the soil is way better and even fertilized to some degree by the farmers.
keep the info flowing
have fun
take care and stay safe
