guerrilla watering technique

[highbreed]

Hi guys with a new season just around the corner I thought someone may benefit from my watering system for guerrilla growing.. my technique uses a roofing system i.e. polycarbonate sheets,guttering,stakes and storage tanks...this system should be set up as early as possible to catch the spring rains..its simple really and all material is light and easy to carry long distances through the bush.. the system can be scaled to personal needs i.e. more plants more water more materials...I use polycarbonate sheets to create surface area, plastic guttering to catch water, tarred wooden stakes for framework and 100-200l storage tanks  you can even set up drip systems off the tanks or use bilge pumps n 12v batteries to pump your water to your plants..I recommend using green/painted sheeting or using bush mulch,branches etc to camo your "roof" up from possible fly bys or set it up under dense foliage/trees...you will need screws and a cordless drill for construction of the frame and screwing down sheets..for my grow I use 3 x 200l green storage tanks-- 3 metres of plastic guttering painted camo style-- 4-5 sheets of green polycarb which are 2 metres in length--- the frame uses 6 x 2 metre painted/tarred stakes for uprights and another 6 for batons to screw sheets down and fix gutter to..I set the 3 tanks up so they sit under the gutter and cut holes so the water drains evenly into each tank..I fix some fly screen material, with silicon, over the holes for filtering unwanted leaves n sticks etc...using this system I have never run out of water for my grow every rain tops the tanks up nicely...the idea can be expanded on in many ways use your imagination!!!...once its up you'll wonder why the hell you  carried all that water over the years and each season  its one less thing to stress about so you can give your ladies all the attention they deserve!!...wish you all the best this season gonna be hot and dry good luck all...grow hard!!

 

 

btw you don't have to use a frame if you dig your tanks into the ground tis a little bit harder work but def a lot stealthier!..

Nice tek bud, sounds like you've really thought this one through. Might look a little suss carrying polycarbonate roofing into the bush mind you!

 

How long does it take you to construct something like this?

yo ethnoman for me it takes 30mins or so but I'm a roof plumber by trade its easy to whip one up if you got the gear sorted...I do the work when its blowing a gale or raining so I can afford a bit of noise!!...

hope these files work if not check my gallery...cheers lads..

 

You'll need to change the permissions on your gallery to get the images to display at full size... atm just get a permission fail when I try to open the image.

Me too. I can only view the thumbnails. Hard to tell what I'm looking at, but it looks different to what I had in my mind from the description. Not sure if I would call that "guerrilla"...

permission granted cheers for the heads up!...that was 2009 and one of my first efforts will get some updated shots of the 2013 model!..that photo was a bit premmy as the whole thing was covered in leaves and sticks all you could see was pots when finished...cheers guys.
