ive just moved my seedlings out into the bush about a week ago, i went to check on em today and one has been completely eaten. What could it be and how do i deter them, i only have 2 plants now i cant afford to lose another
the chance of them being male is too high for my liking already let alone if they eat another plant,
Have a Good One,
Peace,
Tom

hmmmmm....could be rabbits, they love chewin' on MJ....you could put some chicken wire around them, it depends on how big they are....I have also heard of guys pissing around their plants, apparently the human scent discourages some pests.... :greenthumb:
good luck man :)

A friend of mine had trouble with bears getting into her garbage. She went and bought chili powder in a 1/2 pound container from the Dollar store (an "everything's a dollar" chain) and put it liberally on her garbage. The bears soon found that HER garbage was nasty tasting and went elsewhere. I imagine a good ring of chili powder around the plants might help your problem, too.
