The Great Outdoors Grow of 2OO8 - Gilfman's First Time

yedi, be careful. looks like you got them in time to save them. if they don't get dug up again they will make it.

i think number 10 is going to die .. i made a second trip up there today and it wasnt looking too good .. really wilted and dark dark green .. number 6 i believe will make it .. it still had some firmness to it ... i put a trail cam up there but the batteries were dead soo im gonna have to put some new ones in tomorrow .. damn it .. i think it might have been a skunk they like roots and digging .. or do u think a squirrel would dig a hole that big? .. i added some thorn branches to the bases of the plants hoping it'll deter the digging .. well anyway .. there's my grow

i also did some LST with all my big plants when i checked on the dug up ones ...

Good work. I haven't done any training or lst yet maybe in the next week or two when these things should start to take off eh!

ahhh sorry to see the dug up plants.....that suks

plant 4 looks fine...

yeah good idea with the thorn......what ever will dig them up is probably using its nose and is gonna get a fright if it goes back....

get liquid fence from the hardware store, works like magic on small critters and deer. Ive been following you the whole time since youve started just only as a guest but i finally signed up and im actually at day 11 of my grow so i wish you luck as long as you wish some back! Nirvana early misty mmmmm

edit:
Its shitty that something dug your shit up, i have 2 separate plots and at each of the plots there was 1 deer hoof print and 1 plant dug up, the liquid fence has prevented further occurrences though (so far).

yeah i think they only did cause u said they would .. cause your the god of cannabis lol ...

good news .. PICTURES!! .. here's some pictures i JUST took .. my LST'd and FIM's plants, my dug out plants, my plot, and nature pics ... Competition plants were looking good.. LST was too and some FIM'd ones were doing good for being FIM'd .. I also put the rest of my plants (excluding 6 & 10 obviously) in some LST .. I'd like to see what they look like tomorrow.. but take a look at them before LST ...

ps also note my LST method .. it's super "natural"! .. also note the pevic bone was found like that on the rock that's why i took the picture of it .. nothing new finding bones in the woods

looking good

thank you kind sir

thanks for the comment. we like the clay pots a lot. keep up the good work buddy.

oh forgot to ask .. are rabbits gonna eat my plants? i saw one up there in my plot today and i was wondering if that sucker will harm my plants .. i wouldnt wanna kill i like rabbits

UPDATE

so i checked my plants after work today and they were looking good .. FIM'd plants were getting some new growth and LST was looking good (still haven't decided whether to keep in LST or stop it) ... 6 & 10 were still green and growing a very little bit but its better than DEAD .. also i took about 8 ounces of piss and some hair up spread around up there hoping to keep that waskally wabbit out .. but anyway I'll get pics up next week when the growth is more noticeable .. well if anyone cares thats my update

Nice man. it seems like it's fairly quick for you to get to your stuff? are you close to it? We've got a bit of a drive to ours then a lot of a hike. I've got some worm casting on the way and some organic ferts as well. gonna brew up some compost tea.

yeah it's really close .. only like a 500 or so foot hike and a 1/4m drive .. i need to condition my soil some how .. my mix doesnt retain much water at all .. any suggestions? i also think i'm gonna go pick up some bat guano and add a little more blood meal to the mix

Not really sure what you would do for that? One thing we did was put down wood chips/broken up bark down around the base. It's supposed to help retain water and slugs don't like crawling over all the edges. I wonder if you could add a little vermiculite into the top layer without going to deep as to damage any roots?

might have to try something you suggested . but i might steal some mulch or find a rotting tree and get some of that to place around my plant .. i'll find something ..
