Depending on the lights you are using, make sure it is vented and don't let temps get too high. And get a bigger tent then you think u will need

By searching your surrounding at your site you can cut all kinds of plants and trees and block any opening walkways, It works out much easier than growing more plants to keep people away from the other plants. Ive done it.
learning cant compare with experience, but yu cant learn to experience if you havnt learned.

Solid thread, good input and ideas so far.
late starter here. Once I committed to this topic I quickly got schooled on intensity and time required to be a succesfull g. Grower. the focal points in my daily routine include @ least 5 miles of running 3x a week ( very important to be in top cardio condition) I'm already getting in shape for next year. also lots of research including trail guides,google maps and long hikes.
Next year im gonna do several raised beds of 8 to 10 from seed and clone. With some luck ,a hearty outdoor strain ( I'm doin cheese) And good Karma i hope to have a successful guerilla grow.
This year i have a very small crop due to poor germination practices (operator error) I've been Layin low for a few indoor years so I'm really eagerfor next year. I am starting compost for 14' and will have my rookie guerilla out of the way at least.

I'd like people to post up more ideas to avoid aerial detection. What tools/devices do law enforcement actually use other than binoculars? I ran across this article while doing some searching online and found it quite interesting. Especially since I've read weed has a different temp than any other plant lol.
"The Use of Aerial Thermal Imagery
In Outdoor Marijuana Grow Detection
Special Agent Ed Wall

As the pressure from law enforcement on outdoor cannabis cultivators has gradually increased over the years, so has the grower’s ingenuity in concealing their illicit activity. Several years ago the discovery of large fields of marijuana was fairly common. Those days are gone. The trend over the last decade has been toward sophisticated indoor grows and smaller, well concealed outdoor sites. Unfortunately, in reviewing the statistics for law enforcement’s discovery of indoor and outdoor grows, we find that the success rate has gradually dropped.
The investigation of outdoor grows has become very difficult with the advent of the experienced growers sharing their knowledge by way of publications and the internet. Historically, one of the best ways to detect outdoor marijuana grows has been through the use of aerial assets such as helicopters, fixed wing aircraft and the National Guard C-26 Counter Drug aircraft.
Daytime surveillance in attempting to locate the illicit marijuana grow has been limited to eye sight with occasional enhancements such as binoculars or video cameras equipped with zoom capability. The deficiency in eye sight is that the camouflage utilized by the grower can easily defeat even the best equipment and most experienced observers.
The law enforcement officers responsible for locating illicit outdoor marijuana grows should consider use of a thermal imager during daylight conditions from an aerial platform to locate marijuana plants.
When viewed from the ground, an overgrown field or sparsely wooded area can easily conceal plants by virtue of vegetation and natural contours of the land. When viewed from the air with the naked eye, the observer’s ability to distinguish individual plants is somewhat enhanced, but still very difficult.
As an example we will consider the aerial view of an overgrown farm field with several marijuana plants among the weeds, tall grass, tree saplings etc.. When that field is viewed with a thermal imager during daylight, the individual plant locations become very evident. Not because the plants themselves are observable, but because the ground has been altered in planting them.
The ground around the plants is turned and the vegetation around the immediate base of the plants is generally trimmed away. This allows water and nutrients to penetrate the roots and keeps weeds from undermining the plants ability to thrive. When the illicit marijuana grower alters the uniformity of the soil compaction and clears the vegetation shading the base of the plants, they have inadvertently created a favorable condition for discovery by law enforcement using a thermal imager.
The lack of shading that had been provided by cleared ground cover and the turned soil causes the sun’s heat to be absorbed at a higher rate than the other ground immediately surrounding the plants. That change in heat absorption causes the plant locations to emit a much higher ambient heat picture and enables the officers to direct ground units to the suspected area.
As the marijuana grow season approaches, law enforcement begins to gear up for another summer thrashing around in search of illicit activity. Take the time to include a daytime aerial thermal image mission in your next outdoor grow case. It may be the difference between pulling plants and just another walk in the woods. Good luck and be careful.''

I have a question for you guys. At the beginning of this year I started 20 bagseeds in small jiffy pots for the fuck of it. I put them out at my grow site and checked on them a week later. They were all doing fine until Bugs and shit started eating them. Out of 20 that sprouted I am down to 6 ALL due to bugs. I am starting 10 autoflowers soon and would like to know how to stop the pests when the seeds start germinating and are at there most vulnerable. To take care of rabbits and deer im putting them in pots and wrapping fencing all around them. Is there some sort of foliar or ground spray I can make that wont hurt the tender young seedlings but deter bugs? Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear, do you recommend using hidrogels? I live in mediterranean climate, cold wet winter and dry hot summer, we are turning into spring so considering we´ll have a dry season would you try using crystal rain or these polymers to retain water? People say you can leave them for a moth or so... I am about to transplant in remote places, have carried soil on a backpack scrumbling sttep, realy steep places and have a couple holes ready in sort of ledges, facing many hours of sun and have some bushes around to keep it discrete and not so dry in summer. I will post some photos of the locations which are really crazy, BUT, water...

They wont hurt, if you think youll need them, use them. just don't use more than recommended, they swell up huge and to many can heave your plant right out of the hole when you fully hydrate them for the first time. let everyone know how they work for you.
