Something is Chewing/Eating my Plant's Leafs

Hey guys, so ever since i transplanted my plant into the forest its been boosting and growing fast and healthy. Today i went to check up on it and water it, i had LST'd it a few days ago. It looked fabulous and grew really fast. Only problem i found was that some of the leafs seem to have been chewed on. In your opinion what do you think it was? A bird? A snail? A Cricket? etc... Also, is it a bad thing to my plant? What should i do to eliminate these kinds of problems? I already dealt with spider mites in its seedling stage which was a pain in the ass but yet i managed.

Here are a few pictures to help out: (Third pic is just a pic of the canopy, just thought I'd post it up and see what you guys think of her).

Unfortunately those are the hazards of growing outdoors.

Lovely plants man.
I would would think of larger animals munching my plants. Mine had the same shape of bites and i was sure it was pigeons (because i saw them).
Insecticides do not harm birds. I would use a chicken wire in your case to cover it as much as i can. You can buy really cheap ones here.
I hope this helps. Please disregard my message with the insecticide picture in the other thread as it is irrelevant.

Goodluck

I thought birds were good & mainly ate pest to cannabis? I've got a bird feeder right next to mine lol Maybe not a good idea? I've got bites out to, but I know part of it is grasshoppers. Yours look good overall. Best of luck.

Lol, it's over man. Been over for almost a month, something or someone snapped my main stem. After 3 days of no visit, i came back to the spot and found it all dried up with the main stem snapped. Was such a frustrating day i will never forget it...

Yea man, this year was just full of bad luck. I have an auto in my garden about to finish, will chop it in a few days. But i have a huge infestation of Leaf Miners, and they raped her. I have 2 other photos on my balcony ready for transplant, but i'm worried they might get raped too. Found a praying mantis on my balcony today though, i placed it on my auto and its having a feast raping all those buggers . But either way i bought a couple of insecticides today (which fucking reeks, and smells like fucking nuke waste.) Hopefully it'll do the trick.

Enough about me though, what about you? Why did you abandon it so early? Paranoid of people finding your spot, or just too tired to care for it everyday?

This nigga's high as fuck i bet.


My Peat + Perlite mix for the transplant.


My Babies getting ready for the transplant tomorrow.

Dont give up ..............

Just hope for the best, go back around harvest time and see what you have or dont

You will be suprized how many times nature has it's way of ballanceing out problems

Well i'm not worried about anyone finding my spot, its private property.

My original plan was to transport them to my farm but i was lazy and they got too big so i gave them bigger pots.

They were half dead already with the heat wave which halved their size. No more real growth after that as well.

I moved to another apartment now and its harder to find an excuse to why i'm visiting my old place each time i bump into a neighbor. They're friendly to an annoying level. The last time i visited they looked horrible but stopped losing leaves. I gave them some water. This time i'll feed them full strength.

Anyway i managed to collect around 100 regular seeds. I will give them to a master farmer to take care of them.

Meanwhile i got some nice sources of flower
So its cool

Good luck man, hope all goes well. I'm actually moving to Netherlands in September, so i wont be able to grow here anymore sadly. And i'll have to switch to indoors over there, which i don't really like as much as outdoors but it's ok.

Strains are freebies i got while ordering from attitude. It's Seedism Hippie Killer (Left) and DNA Genetics Martian Kush (Right)

"Sadly" and "moving to the Netherlands" cannot coexist in the same sentence

I agree with you since i also prefer growing outdoors. But indoors is the only way to get the sickest shit out of any strain.

Dude everyone is leaving this country! Goodluck with your relocation, i hope it's not just for the weed

use whatever u have until u see little tiny buds, then u have to cut them off and pray.
