I'm imagining all the kids getting selfies with your shrubs.I'd say they sure don't, but then I'd sound like an old man shouting get off my lawn.
So maybe the birds can taste it and like it! The rodents definitely don't though, so that part is still accurate.
I've been reading alot to do one myself after I find the spot but what I been seeing is people using them tree support cages or bottles to stop getting eaten whilst there young just a idea mateCheers, N.
It was fun but we had a couple more plants hit by the critters. Here was the first one I found....
The second fared a little better but still a mortal wound....
The third however is still going strong....
Not a great start but at least I've learnt something. The younger plants will need some protection and I'm leaning towards the pepper spray method. The next seedlings will be ready to go out soon and I'll use this location again as it's quiet but I need to be a little more prepared. I will spray the photo plants as well as on my walk I saw quite a lot of deer loitering about.
The reason birds can't feel the effects of capsaicin is so that they can eat the seeds and then distribute them in their droppings. There is evidence though that suggests that they love the taste of chillis.
Hey Ljb1.
Dig a hole for water aswell mate save u taking waterHey all.
So today the kids went back to school after the 2 week Easter holiday. Sound trumpets! Hooray!
The first thing I did was get my green ranger costume out and get these photo plants out of my house. I'm happy to see the back of these 4 lol....
They look a bit shabby but are ok. I would have had to trim them up again if I didn't get them out soon.
The Wedding Cake x Guicy Bangers. Ones squat and ones tall. Both are vigorous and easy to grow....
The Godfather OG from WSE. Fast growing and easy going. I really want to see this one make it....
Black Banana TK. This plant is very slow growing compared to the rest but that might not be such a bad thing. It also doesn't like to clone as both attempts I made failed. If this one is like the last one she could be the best of them all at the end....
So my first job was to get them to the secret grow location. Little problem though....
They got a little tall lol. The small ones went into a bag and those two I folded up and put in my rucksack lol. I then had to casually head out to my spot which took some time as this new location is in a much harder place to get to. That's where I saw the mega-rabbit! We scaled the side of a cliff and crawled through some brambles and here we are....
I had to leave the plants there and will go out later with the planting equipment as there is just too much to carry in one go. Later I'll bring out the soil, chilli spray, trowel, axe, slow release nutrients and some water with a bit of MC mixed in. First though it's time for a coffee and a vape.
Catch you soon.
Do you mean a well? Could be tricky as the plants are at the top of a rocky hilltop and there are no streams. Leaving some buckets to catch rainwater could work though.
I would think an open bucket to collect rain water isn't going to help much as you'd only get about a 12" collection area. But what about some sort of ground cover like a small tarp or garbage bag to increase the collection surface area and somehow funnel that to the base of your plants?
too fun
Lol, it's both physically and mentally difficult not to mention nerve wracking as it feels a bit like being in a horror movie. I'm always looking over my shoulder and pausing to listen for voices or footsteps throughout the woods lol. The plants are in a location where I can't go to them at night because it's dangerous and exposed. People would see the flashlights on the side of the hill so I have to go there during the day and it's really busy with walkers both local and tourists. I would have to say that guerilla growing whilst fun is a tough way of securing some cannabis. I'll probably be a bit fitter by the end of the season though.
Watering is something I wasn't sure about at the beginning of this. Do plants really even need watering once they become established? I mean in the UK of course which is these are. I mean, nothing else around here is getting watered and it's all growing fine. I'll certainly be coming by every now and then with some extra liquid nutrients but would they need the constant watering that is required with indoor plants in pots? I had an outdoor plant in a pot last year that made it through the entire flowering period without needing to be watered once. The rain was enough and all I did was water it with some nutrients a couple of times. It was small for the pot size though but it was happy. As for tarps and things like that, it's just too noticeable. If I could show you where they were you'd understand what I mean. I'm just hoping that it rains once every two weeks from now until November lol.
Thanks, DD!
Yeah hole To Catch the rain water mate it fill up after a good rain think I found my spot today guna keep walking it make sure noone eyes walking by before I plant
