Looking great so far farmer.... And that's crap that your sis puts bounties on your plants... The only good thing is that you have a few to work with ....but still dammit that's annoying.
A few years back she had my brother destroy four of my plants. Ironically, he did it in veg., so to some extent he ended up topping them (technically FEM'ing them). Ended up getting about nine ounces; still the yield would have been over two lbs without the intervention.
Yeah, my oldest sister is the poster child of non-diagnosed mental illness. My family has been given all of the resources to live happy lives, but they choose to swim in a pool of self absorbed misery. As a kid my big sis would be irate if I showed any signs of being happy. Scariest thing about my biggest sis is that she is an RN.
Hey Farmer,
Sure that was a young buck? Dont think theyre rubbing this early do you?
Sorry about that bro, totally sucks.
Our bucks start around October, sometimes little sooner.
Do you have a trail camera you can put up in that area?
Your correct it was unlikely it was a young buck. I didn't notice any tracks or take into account the date.
Knock on wood deer haven't forked with my girls during September, October, or even November.
I could put up a couple trail cam's, but at this point would it be worth the effort? Though it would be cool to see what caused the damage.
Oh no! What a disaster, I hope it survives.
A trail camera sounds like a great idea.
Really not a big deal, but still very frustrating.
We'll see how she does in her new home a seven gallon pot.
I'll seriously think about a trail cam.
For F#cks sake, man sorry to see that happen.
It is just what this year's grow has thrown at me.
Could be trying to get the velvet off? That happens closer to October here too…
Thought it was a young deer trying to eliminate itchy velvet. Now I'm thinking another critter was probably the culprit.
Oh, and sorry, that sucks man. If it turns out to be that, I have an excellent venison recipe…
Well, I have access to a lot of solid deer hunting on my family's property.
Use to be the architect of a lot of deer drives. Almost always was a driver. Most of the time didn't carry a weapon when driving. Might have to take you up on the venison recipe
Morning Farmer! Wow all I have to worry about around here is bugs and birds messing with them outside. Do you think she's worth saving? Do you have another plant to take her place? That plant looks just like my kale plants in the garden did last year, a rabbit started at the bottom and started snipping all the stems at the base. It ate some and left the rest lying on the ground. When it was done I had kale plants with a few leaves at the top and a totally exposed stem just like that.
You could always clone what's left at the top, you'll have a new plant ready to go in 2-3 weeks.
Good luck my friend!
Think you answered our question. A rabbit definitely seems to meet the description of the culprit.
Actually, we'll see how she does in a seven gallon pot. I saved a good three gallons of her root ball.
Think it'll be fun to see what comes out of the top vs. cloning.
Here is my replacement plant she is a little on the distressed side.
Farmer…could be a rascally rabbit…bubbakush909 probably is right. Good luck with the elements and residents. Cheers
Now leaning about 70 percent towards a rascally rabbit, 15 percent ground hog, 10 percent deer, and 5 percent other.
Wow! I’ll tell you what
@Farmer Reading, the amount of stuff you deal with and overcome in pursuit of the art is truly impressive. I can’t imagine. Even walking. Nice job.
This is turning out to be a stereotypical outdoor grow.
When things start to become turn-key something happens to knock it down a peg. Hopefully at least one or two girls will make it through to maturity to make some great bud.
If anything it is entertaining
Hopefully my SUPER MEGA SOHUM OUTDOOR COMPARISON GROW will thrive in the CatHouse.
Planted a couple of weeks ago.
Both plants have been planted in holes utilized last year using fresh soil.
The Sohum girl was planted in the same hole as last year's Sohum girl.
The hole for my soil was placed in the hole with my top yielder from last season.
Placed three gallons of spent soil at the base, a three gallon perlite layer, a three gallon layer of pure soil, and a fifty-fifty blend of soil, and the other fifty percent consisting of Pro Mix, Pete, and a touch of Roots Organic's Lush soil (used up a bag).
Disclaimer(s): last season used
two bags of Sohum and this season used
one bag of Sohum.
While using the same amount of net soil the hole diameter of the non Sohum girl is much larger---just didn't dig out all of the used soil from last season.
Placed these girls in the CatHouse on June 26th.
Strain Blackjack, which is a well balanced hybrid with an eight week flowering time that seems to be overlooked.
Here are some assorted pics of both plants during and after planting. Desperately need to get a marker for this comparison grow.
Added some Cypress Mulch and denote the shovel is my Sohum girl's marker.
