I grew my share of large guerilla grows. Some stealthy, some not so much. Corn is always fun because the farmer spends tens of thousands making sure there's enough food for corn, and weed loves it. But it's either a silage field, where the farmer pulls it off early for the silo, or it's very visible from the air. A seed crop field is perfect, but again, very visible to aircraft, choppers, and lately, everyone and his brother has a drone.

I always wanted to plant in a soybean field because from a remote sensing perspective, Soy has the same reflectance as weed (until very late). There's another problem though. Soybean only grows a couple feet high.

The latest I've ever put plants out is in mid July. They don't get huge, but I always at least get some. And with a quick pruning, the buds I don't pull off grow to a nice size. I put out my late starts last week, and now I'm bored, so it's time to keep playing. Last night I put about 200 fem seeds in a water/H2O2 soak. It was raining cats and dogs all day so tonight they're going out. I'm putting them in a soy field. They should germinate in a day or two. Soy produces its own Nitrogen, so they'll have food. This should give them about 3 weeks to grow before they start stretching and flowering. I'll keep an eye on them and if they stretch much past the soy, I'll give them a hair cut. Having a bunch of munchkins should be fun.

I'll post pics as I take them.



(I should have started this soon after the farmers sprayed for weeds but... I'll do that next spring.)
