Hey snowbuds,

Nope, my mate hasn't used it before, I'm sure he'd be entrigued on any progress so far on any auto stuff ( he love's the tech shit )

 

It's his first solar setup and I'm sure he'd be most keen to hear how any other is going

 

As for ebay for pumps and solar stuff (or anything else really)

Hey everyone. Heres some pics of my guerilla grow. Its an M60 from xpatseeds. Sadly its the only one that survived but its going strong. Just using miracle grow fertiliser.

 

Just a simple grow, nothign too complicated(at all)

[LOGGER_KING]

If your crop is near a river or dam or whatever it is good to go bury your hose in winter when soil is soft(wet)................................When you go to water in summer just take a little motor bike battery and a little pump like the ones they have in a caravan IF you ride your motorbike there EVEN easyer

I have some swiss bliss and dutch passion in this year though.

 

I think I stuffed it up with my new spot when the sun came further south they get a little more shade ao they havent grown as fast as they should of.

Sorry for not updating the thread, I've been away for a while.

 

Anyways, the plot is going good, the pumping system works great, although the solar panel is not powerful enough, thus the battery looses charge over time.

It's had to be changed twice, but shouldn't need any other changes this season.

 

Next season, a new, bigger better! solar panel, and some more testing should have this setup working nicely with no maintenance.

 

Sorry, no pics for now, hopefully next visit .

cow moo.. i dont no if u have read.. but i posted before about obtaining solar panals from orange road work stand alone machines.. most have 2 juice panals on top (minimum) at least 20 w panal minimum garrentee..

 

But i relise you might be in the bush.. but if outskirts and road improvment is near by u will find 1 .. you can easily power 2x 150liter hour into ressie pumps

 

most are 12 or 24v.. if 24v use truck battery.. sink a powerbox under

How long can the wires from the panel to the battery be? I mean is it possible to hide the solar panel up the top of a large tree, and have the wires running down to the pump. Also, could you just use a car battery and one of the windscreen washer pumps from the car? It would be like a drip system.

123abc: Haven't read it, but I'll keep that in mind

 

auspamp: The wires on my solar panel are about 3 meters long, but I don't see why you couldn't lengthen them to around 7-8m without too much problem.

 

As for the grow, some good and bad news...

The plot is going good with some real monster plants (new cross), sorry still no pics (camera got stolen a while back ).

 

And now the bad news.....I was ripped, not the main crop, but a small secondary crop of 6 plants, found 2 missing today .

 

Not too sure what I'm gonna do yet, got nowhere to move the other 4 (1 of which is a trifoliate), and pulling them now would be a complete waste (buds are nowhere near mature).

 

Any ideas??

tie some razor blades and rusty fishing hooks to the remaining plants...if they want to steal your ladies, with any luck you'll be able to steal some blood in return but keep in mind that if you booby trap your crop in any way or form and you get busted you'll end up in alot more trouble
