Yeah weasels and foxes, some rabbits mostly. Nothing that could hurt the plant anyway. Much more insects though, I have a whole wonderland of small, medium and big ones. I always had impression that they caged plants for support not to protect plants from the critters, but maybe if you use tighter mesh it'll work too. Anyway here it's not necessary for animals. I could sure use some support for the bigger plants to stretch them out a little bit, but that might not happen very soon
this little auto has actually turned out not bad!
I'd like to show you this Sensi Star by the end of flowering, I think it's gonna be her last week. I've never had more problems with a plant... for real. She had weird veg demands, she was very slow, she was getting stressed frequently (temps, RH, sun, soil) and she was easily stunted when transplanted. In flowering it was slightly better although she got burnt with a CAT drench and there were stressful 3 or 4 days afterwards. But she reacted well to diluted lithothamnium later on and to general temperature drop, which is why I'm gonna let her run full season next year, cause she just has to be flowered in right conditions and she has to have bigger root to cope with the environment.
But I have to say she grows very nice, chunky buds with good trichome coverage. She's slightly leafy, but I haven't tried the bud yet and it might be a surprise. Well like said she just has potential in yield department from what I see. Almost no fan leaves and she just keeps on packing. I also have some good things to say about the terpenes. She started with strong pine/fuel expression then went through tangerine/orange peel period to settle for overwhelmingly sweet strawberry body with pine and aniseed coating. But she also changes a lot throughout a day. Sweet stuff is very strongly expressed during sun hours while fuel/pine dominates after dark and it's constant. Not bad for a half-dead plant
Extremely fussy, but I managed to get a nice top on her in the end. We'll see about the effect, I hope it's gonna be something special.
I typically don't have lots of problem with pests or critters. Snails may be a problem, so I use copper clasps when I transplant, but this year they were practically invisible. I see practically every insect around my plant including grasshoppers, spiders, flies and borers, but only the last ones are a problem I'm forced to tackle head on with spraying, cause no other methods are effective. It's a terrible pest that unfortunately cannabis growers share with corn farmers and I saw some real damage on corn this year, so BT was sprayed recently on UDs that I know for a fact being attractive for these fuckers. However I never lose a lot of flower due to their activity. In the worst year it was maybe 5%, which is why I don't freak out when I find some drilling through the bud. Checking for eggs and picking by hand works too, but it's definitely better if you don't see them at all
Hey, my friend... Thought I'd give ya an update on your offspring.... Hey BTW when do I get the child support check??? JK But If ya remember,,, I looked at the #3 for my first up potting. She did stay shorter,, which I wanted, and I'm,,, duhhhh brain fart...... But anyways,,, no heads,no headaches............ But they are going to be tight... They took of with a bang and now are lagging. I juiced then acouple times this week should help kick them off. Still got a skecthy 4 weeks here... They are sure going to get close before the rains.... They might have to go in the 'Doghouse' the last week,,, along with acouple others.... Speaking of others,,, I got this Crippled Rino,,, She's been in my garden for 6-7 years and she hasn't hardly started flowering. One of them strains from Stoney Girl Gardens here in Portland.. And this has been a finisher for me all them years, Well hopefully this all points to a nice end Sept/early Oct. The 10th please..... Oh well,, all plants do what they should right? I like what they are doing.. Both are going to be smaller buds, which is comon as I kind of see with the strain from others. I got acouple pic's of them for ya.
And them that #3 with the saw tooth leaves,, I seen this pic with a piece of ull sun annd she sure sparkled
