I'm so so so sorry..

Shunned .. naaa You can use it , it does work , just it has it's own nutes so dont overwater.
Since you live in Texas I would hazard a guess and say you would get a crop off if you planted as soon as you got the seeds .. and were able to water them.
Your season is a lot different from mine .. and with this weather who can say this year .
happy growin

How much time would they need?
I ordered swiss cheese which takes 7-8 weeks to flower.. so how long does veg take?

And since the seeds are on their way anyways, could I save them for next year?

grojak is correct about there being almost zero veg time. this will dramatically reduce yield but you will still get something. people do 12/12 from seed grows all the time. and yes, you can save the seeds for next year. i have 3 year old seeds that i still pop from time to time and they are just fine. i don't refrigerate or anything. i just keep 'em in a dry place, which could be a bit of a challenge if you are in texas with that humidity i hear about. a mini baggie with a good seal should be fine, though.

Hey, Hep! Good to see you planning a guerrilla grow, I planned on doing one this year, too, but all my effort had to go to revamping the grow room. I have about 10 extra clones this round developing nice roots in my aerocloner as we speak, I think I will plant them outdoors, if only to kill 10 plants in 10 different ways to learn better for next year 
I've been reading guerrilla threads here (dudes know their shit!) and cutting and pasting the best, most informative posts. I'll sub to your thread and learn along with you...

I just made an order with the shirt option for the first time is it an attitude shirt or what?

Awww, C'mon Hep! This will be a fun adventure, and a great learning experience. Who cares what happens this round? Your not counting on a bumper crop to carry you through the year financially, so go out and fuck up and learn so you'll be ready next year. You may be surprised, if you move your ass those little ladies could get to 4-5 feet high!

I just posted this in another thread:
Don't worry about it, bro. I've also ordered seeds from a few different banks and no problems. I would use the stealth option where they send them in a T-shirt or mug, it's a little extra but I think it's worth it. I once received as a gift from attitude a white t-shirt with a huge picture of Hendrix's face, and large print reading, 'Supply The Demand!' One evening, I wore it to a bar when a buddy popped over unexpectedly to take me out drinking, and picked up a couple of long time customers because of it

True.. very true. I can get some hands on guerilla experince, test my sites direct sunlight, and find the best way to keep insects and deer away. I'll just be sure to order my seeds earlier next year lol. Well the grow IS BACK ON HELL YEAH!!

I'll have around 4 months of warm weather, will I be able to pull anything that I can smoke? Or even make some hash.

You're not realizing that it's ONLY MAY!! The days will get longer until the end of summer. Why can't you start a crop outside now?? How is it that you don't have time? Is it fall where you're at? Winter? I don't get it.

I agree. Plenty of time left to grow. My son is in Texas and says the biggest problem outdoors is the sun being so strong frying plants. He has his so they only get 5 or 6 hours of sun a day. Lot's of water for those babies. As far as the deer Home Depot deer repellent. It's coyote piss and deer hate it. Just remember to reapply after a good rain. Good luck!

Days actually get longer until the start of summer, then start getting shorter after mid-June. Though your general message was right, still plenty of time. I was under the impression that flowering didn't start until you get close to 13 hours of light in late august. So that's still some veg time, about a month.

You're right. The longest day is June 20 which is technically the start of summer, then they get shorter after. I'm in Mi so summer for me is end of May to the end of July. Lol. Or until the sicadas start making noise. Then I know "summer" is just about over with.

This was my expoerince with Attitude and BC Seed King in February 2012: I did one order from each, and both arrived to the east-coast USA intact & apparently unmolested. BC Seed king I mailed US currency. Attitude I used a US Bank issued master-card. The (both short) wait times were unsettling & I could feel the black helicopters coming LOL. Stress builds character I suppose.
For an outdoor guerrilla grow... use a soil mix that doesn't have a lot (or any) Perlite... that stuff shows up like snow, totally un-natural. I'd add in a dose of "soil moist" granules (these are little chunks of gel, that take up water and release it to the roots slowly over time. This will save you humping lots of liquid into your sites & beating down a highway to them. EDIT: That soil moist gel is really un-natural looking too (pale light pea-sized beads) but it's best put in the hole before U bury the rootball... keep it a few inches away from the surface. EDIT
Consider using a time-release fertilizer like Osmokote. It may be a little late for the 120 day stuff this season... but for next year! Stuff takes a couple weeks to activate, so adjust your feeding schedule so your Nitrogen wears off about the end of July IMHO
A handy shovel is an army issue "E-Tool" I like the one with the wooden handle (I'm old) but the new kids might appreciate the newer (noisy aluminum Z-fold) model. To be sure, you won't want to dig out a building foundation with one, but they do the job and stow away handily.
In all the years I've done outdoor grows, I've never put more than 4 plants in any one area... often just lone soldiers. Now that I've gone underground, I doubt I'd ever risk an outdoor deal again - unless these SoBap Taliban motherfuckers get took out, and we enact some common sense laws here.
As for fieldcraft... go to Amazon and pick up a Ranger Handbook. Read all you can about small unit movements, Recon and Logistics patrols especially. There is an online resource of "lessons learned" from the MACV-SOG Recon Teams. These TTPs are more suited to jungle ops than temperate areas, but many of the tactics work everywhere. (especially the "throw lots of hand grenades, while running like hell" part)
Learn how to recon your sites on the way in, so you won't be surprised by anything. In case you get compromised, have a great likely excuse to be where ever you are... bird-watching (have a field guide and binos/camera) or looking for a lost pet (Photo of Fido or Kitty, plus some flyers to hand out) Just don't cook up some freakin crazy tale, most folks would give ya a pass. Oh yeah without saying... HAVE STERILE GEAR! If you have to dump your rucksack and beat feet... it behooves you NOT to have a name and address in there no? Same with anything that can be tracked back to you. Leave it at home, or cashe it FAR from your hot-zones.

I have a noob question or 2 too. A bit non-related since it sounds like he's starting from clone. But I'm starting from seed and I've got a seedling that surfaced like 5 days ago. I've got it under a 100watt cfl for now. Will that be good enough to reach the adequate height for transplanting to outdoor? My other question is, how long do I keep the lights on my seedlings? I've had them on 24 hours, but Jorge Cervantes said 16-18 hours of light. Would I get quicker growth from 16-18 hours of light?
Also my first post so... Hi Rollers. I'm new and glad to be here.

Hey Reppin... I'm no pro, but stayed at a holiday inn or two
I'd kick that light back to 18-6 for awhile. 24-0 was fine for a wake up though
Let the plant grow up into the light (close-to-touching is okay) and you'll have lots of tight nodes in no time. I used a 2 bulb 48" T5 (pink+blue) first time this year.. let the babies grow up & into...and I was SHOCKED. This Old Dawg got one killer new trick from RIU this year!
I am assuming you are using soil (or a good airy & tame mix hopefully) and if so, avoid over watering. A great easy technique was mentioned in another post... take a container of the same size and same soil mix dry & get a feel for the weight. When your babies in their containers feel about that same weight, it's time to water. Be very gentle with nute feed dosage until after they are well established.
Good luck, welcome aboard, and happy farming.
