Best of luck getting them established in the wild @ProffesorFlora. Lots of critters fancy young sprouts. One giant salad bowl for them. I can remember checking on a gorilla grow many years ago and finding a porcupine happily munching away on my biggest plant Bird netting was the solution, and practically invisible.
Hey bluenoserjoe.
I know what you mean. I haven't checked on the plants recently but I'm heading out that way today. I will be really surprised to see them still alive lol. I was trying to give the autos a head start by getting them in the ground as early as possible without actually starting them outdoors. There more choice for the wildlife to eat now as there are sprouting plants everywhere. I'm just hoping I can get a few past their hungry mouths. Bird netting is out of the question but perhaps some small plastic cages could help out early on.
I called the snow.
Yes you did lol. I think it's getting better again? Oh well, plenty more seeds I suppose.
Maybe spray them with cayenne pepper and water mix....it's safe for the plant and repels animals from chewing on the leaves...gives them a kick in the mouth and spice for the nose....and if/when ready just rinse em of the sprays "residue".
That is an idea that escaped me. Might have to try that. Wouldn't the rain wash it away though? We can get plenty of that.
So it's just flowering you can't do? Veg them all inside until June 21st and then transplant them outside, when they're bigger and less likely to be eaten whole by the local fauna.
That's a great idea but I'm only using my 40cm X 40cm tent for vegging which as you can imagine doesn't leave much space. It hasn't stopped me from putting 10 plants in there though lol....
Admittedly they have been tidied up and trained but still. Also, it's only the autos which are being put out early. The photos are being grown until they are strong before going out. These would have gone out by now but like Vet said. SNOW!
Hello Doctor Chaos! I'll be quietly following along for this one.
Lol, Hey, sy.
I hope I can provide some visual chaos for your enjoyment. It certainly feels like chaos at this end lol.
So, little update on the most recent autos and then I'm going for a walk to check on the previous and likely dead autos....
All 4 popped with no problems and I put the coco plugs into some slightly larger fabric pots. I'm going to veg these for a little longer under the lights before they go out this time around.
While we are here we can take a look at the photos....
They've been trimmed up many times and have been repotted twice. If I don't get them out soon then they'll need repotting again. This one (Wedding Cake x Guicy Banger) is getting big....
I've been cleaning up the lower growth so that it stays off the ground when they're eventually put out. So much for keeping them small but it's better for avoiding mould.
Time for a quick trip out to check on the poor autos. Let's see if they are really hardy lol.
Back shortly.
Hi Prof! Well, I didn’t think it possible, but you seem hairier since you’ve gone guerrilla!
