Guerrilla Growing

Show column

I’ve spent plenty of time in hidden patches over the last 50 years, and some of you may already know me as the ‘Ghost’ from the legendary guerrilla growing stories. Successful guerrilla growing requires the hardiest genetics that can thrive with zero intervention. I’ve hand-picked these seeds for their resilience, natural camouflage, and ability to produce a heavy harvest in the wild—the exact traits I relied on for decades.

The Ultimate Ghost Ride: Using My Camper for Heavy Extraction

Posted by Jerry

That is the ultimate "Ghost" setup. A camper isn't just a vehicle; it's a mobile base of operations. To a passerby or a ranger, you’re just a retiree or a traveler enjoying the great outdoors. They don’t realize you have a high-altitude, scent-proof vault sitting 12 feet above their heads.

How to Tell When Wild Cannabis is Ready to Harvest-The Ghost

Posted by Jerry

Jerry here. If you’ve been following my "Ghost" stories, you know I’ve spent a fair share of my 50 years in the garden trekking through the brush, hunting for those elusive patches of "ditch weed" or long-forgotten guerrilla grows. There is something primal and exciting about finding a plant that has survived the elements all on its own.

Jerry here. If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’ve spent over 50 years growing our favorite plant, and a good chunk of that time was spent as "The Ghost"—growing in secret spots out and about.

Guerrilla Growing Cannabis in Dry Climates-The Ghost

Posted by Jerry

If there is one thing I have learned in my 50-plus years of growing our favorite plant, is that Mother Nature doesn't always make things easy. One must play by her rules out and about. This is especially true when you are trying to pull off a successful harvest in the middle of nowhere without a garden hose in sight.
