 |
|
|
i was researching seeds that would do well under the climate (desert basically) that i live in,
does anyone have any idea what type of strain this mexican brick weed is or may be?
is there anyway to tell
hell i could probably save some money and just grow what i get in this brickweed i already know its Strong under the climate i live in. but i honestly have no idea what it might be,,,im guessing it may be more indica
anyone have a clue
i see lots of places for plants along several roads,,,,that are out of the way,,,ever see those guys out picking up cans with their bags and little picker upper sticks???
ever give them a second thought??? I never have...
such an easy way to tend to the plants undercover,,,hell i wave at them when i drive by,,,they wave back,,,,that same bag can be used for many things,,,, i like 
ive never picked up cans before,,,but wouldnt be afraid to ACT Like ! 
a person could easily have 10 singles scattered out and tend to them on the downlow while looking for cans

| Sativas typically grow better in desert climates. |

I typically see the Mexican brick weed as Mexican Sativa, but within Mexican Sativa there can be a few differing varieties, usually produced by the different cartels and differentiated by region, such as Oaxacan Sativa.
Brick weed grows strong and will suck up water and nutrients like crazy. Never underestimate the power of brick weed grown with some TLC. |

Once the leaves start coming out you should be able to tell.
In the many many many bags I have handled Maybe 2 or 3 faintly resembled Indica strains.
I would think most strains from there would be low maintenance. And mold resistant and durable. Thats if the cartels actually breed them and what not. I dont have good enough connections to know how they grow them.
There are still tons of variables though.  |

Couple things.....Didn't break it down because points all flow together and wok off one another....
1. Strain selection, Brick, "mexican", desert, etc.....
A.When your talking outdoors, strain selection begins with finishing time(s) and moves to preference.
The bonus of such environments (yours) is that they allow sativas to finish if you so choose to run them....
(Follow me on this.....)
They will typically run much longer, which is why northern climates can't really run them, despite a preference on might have to do so....
B. There are endless things you could run that would please you more if that is what you were after, but, given the fact that they do have he tendency to run much longer, the question would be: Why would you?
Longer finishing times= Greater exposure.Greater exposure = Greater risk.....(not to mention will be larger.....which again equals more exposure....
Forget "Mexican".....farms have been converting to dutch and imported stock since the 70's, and the majority of unpleasant brick is from elsewhere....
Procuring stock vs. bagseed.
As above....why would you voluntarily want up to months more exposure...
Could select something earlier......could select something earlier and heavier.....Could select something you actually want...could move to even earlier (which equals stealth)
Now.....
Your talking about places where you see people....
Mistake number one.....and, also seems your talking no maintenance in an environment which requires it...(which, again, the larger they are and the longer they go....the more they will drink....The greater the sun?....the more they will drink and eat...
Possible to implement many things which might help reduce that/those things, but certainly not eliminate in a desert environment...(hole, how holes are prepped, location)......
Note: Lot of people shoot for full sun and exposure, which is nice and helps,(density and yield), but with that comes the heat and evaporation which calls for even more maintenance...
Prep can help, as above, and, when talking outdoor and guerilla especially urban guerilla as it sounds to be), reducing your trips by even 50% is, in itself an incalculable bonus.....
Know your area and go with something earlier, or AF's..(also be aware depending on your weather and any frosts, you might be able to go 12 months/year round....(night temps are your focus btw when tryin to determine such......start with researching frosts, then move to historical averages........
Sun and humidity will help with the mold no matter what you run....(another factor is scheduling, as southwest desert does have the monsoons come in mid summer....which could be planned around for benefit but you have to watch where your running them or they could be washed out if in wrong place...
If determined to run border product, at least get the nice stuff....NL's, AK's, C99's, Skunk #1's, etc, etc (which is what is coming out of Mexico these days..bunk brick isn't Mexican....Asian and African passing through)
All in all, urban desert guerilla entirely possible, procedure and prep will determine how much maintenance...(But, your not going to get way with a bona fide no maintenance.....
If temps enable a winter and spring run, might be best bet to reduce your maintenance with a solid decent prep.....good dry mix, good holes, and crystals....(water retaining polymers)....Better temps equal less evaporation, better temps equal a long hold of any and all moisture, and with better temps will eat and drink less....
I'd check your winter and spring averages, contemplate desired finishing times and find a spot with no traffic.... |
