EE Guerrila

Cristim 7 july 2028 - I saw that the cardboard cup started molding, so I moved them into plastic pots. They'll probably go outside next week. Right now, they are just sitting by the window getting natural light, with a few hours of direct exposure

Cristim 11.07.2026 Writing this today on the final stretch of Week 2. Tomorrow, Day 14, is the official judgement day: the girls are moving to their permanent outdoor guerrilla spot! The Spot & Soil Physics: * The Wild Ground: The native soil at the location is heavy, dense clay, so I had to do some serious digging. I prepped holes measuring 35-40 cm deep and 40-45 cm wide/long to break the clay barrier and give the roots room to expand. * The Custom Mix: Inside the holes, the clay was completely replaced with a highly aerated mix, designed to retain moisture while letting the roots breathe: * 55% Compo Sano Universal (the nutrient base) * 22% Perlite (for drainage and oxygenation) * 23% Vermiculite (the sponge that will hold moisture during scorching days) The 48-Hour Micro-Biome Activation (Pre-Hydration): The mix was placed into the holes and fully pre-hydrated with 10 Liters of water per hole, infused with: * 10 ml Bio Root (root stimulator, equivalent) – to activate the microflora in the peat. * 10 ml Fish Mix – to charge the soil with organic nitrogen and feed the medium before the plants arrive. * The soil is cooking for 48 hours so the organic nutrients can fully activate before the girls touch the ground. The Early Bird Strategy (Tomorrow - Day 14 / Start of Week 3): Tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn (5:00 AM, in the cool air before the sun stresses the plants), the girls will be transplanted. * The Anti-Shock Armor: Right after transplanting, I’m applying a foliar shield directly to the leaves (foliar spray at pH 6.2 with a cocktail of Albit biostimulator and Turbo Root). This will instantly trigger their anti-stress and anti-drought immunity before the midday heat hits. * Mulching: I will seal the top surface with a thick layer of dry straw to block UV rays and lock the moisture in the soil. Next week, the real outdoor battle begins. Let's see how they handle the wild!

Cristim 14.07.2026 (Day 16) The transition to the wild is officially complete. These past 48 hours have been intense, moving from a controlled environment straight into the unpredictable, raw nature of our guerrilla spot. Here is the breakdown of the transplant day and tonight’s first crucial check-up. The Transplant Day (12.07.2026 - Day 14) At the crack of dawn (5:00 AM), under the cover of the cool morning air, the girls were carefully moved into their permanent pre-hydrated holes. * The Anti-Shock Protocol: Immediately after transplanting, I sprayed them foliarly with an anti-stress and anti-drought shield containing a mix of Albit and Turbo Root (at pH 6.2). This foliar armor gave them the immune boost needed to withstand the midday heat shock. * The Guard: I sealed the topsoil of each hole with a thick, protective layer of dry straw mulch to block intense UV rays and retain soil moisture. Finally, I secured the wire mesh cages around each plant. The Late-Night "Hit & Run" Visit (Tonight - Day 16) Tonight, exactly 48 hours after they touched the wild ground, I returned under the cover of darkness for a rapid check-up and to deliver their first tailored organic feed. The "Microbe-Activator" Menu (3 Liters Total / 500 ml per plant): Since the Compo Sano soil is already packed with starter nutrients, I kept the recipe highly targeted, aiming only to activate the biology of the soil and stimulate root expansion: * The Water Base: Crystal-clean source water starting at an incredibly low 98 ppm (highly soft water). * The Mix: * 3 ml Fish-Mix (1 ml/L) – organic nitrogen and sugars to kickstart the soil life. * 6 ml Bio-Heaven (2 ml/L) – direct energy and micronutrient booster. * 1.2g Biobizz Microbes (0.4 g/L) – to colonize the root zone with beneficial bacteria and fungi. * The Activation & pH Adjustment: I mixed everything at home and let it sit in a closed bottle for 5 hours. Because my source water is very soft, it lacks mineral buffers, causing the pH to jump to 7.52 as the microbes woke up. I adjusted it back to 6.42 using organic pH Down before leaving. Total final TDS was a clean 447 ppm of pure organic fuel. Field Inspection & Battle Report: * Wild Encounters (The Boar Incident): Guerrilla growing is not for the faint of heart! Tonight turned into a real, high-adrenaline adventure when a group of wild boars decided to crash the party and came right after me. Fortunately, I was fully equipped with the right gear and managed to scare them off before they got too close. Nature is beautiful, but it definitely keeps you on your toes! * General Health: 5 out of 6 girls are looking absolutely spectacular. They stood straight, proud, and completely vibrant under the flashlight. The straw mulch is doing an incredible job keeping the root zone damp and cool. * Pest Report (The Battle of the Wild): One of the girls had a distinct chunk missing from a lower leaf. It wasn't a sunburn or nutrient burn; it was a clean, mechanical bite from an early predator (likely a stray grasshopper, caterpillar, or a passing snail). Fortunately, the wound is completely dry, scarred over, and inactive. The wire cages are doing their job, and the brand-new growth exploding from the crown of the plant is 100% healthy, green, and untouched. A solid rain is forecasted for this weekend. This is perfect timing the rainwater will deeply hydrate the outer clay walls of the holes, encouraging the roots to break out of their cozy Compo Sano pockets and search for moisture in the deeper ground. However, since rainwater has virtually 0 ppm, and my base water is extremely soft (98 ppm), this rain will wash out a lot of the soil's natural minerals. To prevent early deficiencies, Calmag will officially become a mandatory addition to the feeding schedule starting next week! So far, so good. The wild has tested them, but the girls are holding the line!
