Yes, one of the theories behind THC production is the taste/smell is supposed to repel predators. I think getting the male pollen to stick to the flowers is the main purpose but I've heard many critters won't eat mature buds.

Well, thanks to mister empty brain(me) there won't be any pics with this update as I forgot the camera, but they're doing good :yippee: Theres no deer damage, the seedlings I put out 2 weeks ago are already 1.5 ft tall and the northern lights I put out a week before that are 2-3ft. tall so I'm getting pretty excited. Put out more deer repellant today. The lapis mountain indica is my favorite at the moment, its leaves are like fat little maple leaves. Sorry about the pics, but 2 weeks from now they'll really be worthy of a photo. Peace out guys.
ah its cool bro i have done the same thing myself a couple of times oh well next time maybe haha.Quote:

Haha, patience is not my strong point either. Actually I went out there and there were 10 less, but there were no signs of deer damage so I was still happy. They only had their first set of single-blade leaves when I put them out 2 weeks ago so I'll attribute it to them just being vulnerable to the heat. One has started to mutate (see thread "what is this? you prob don't know"), and then of course in a month I'll be yanking males so I'll count on about 20 making the cut. All I can say is... :dance:
Well I went out there on Friday and was very pleased to see that they're doing great, there was a little nibbling on 2 of the plants, but nothing too severe and they all look like they're about to explode with growth. The atomic northern lights are very branchy, bushy little buggers. Without further ado, the pics:
You need to till the soil and get rid of all those weeds, they help attract other bugs.
Aaaaaand more.....
I'll a shot of the garden as a whole when they get bigger. Now that they're really getting their energy going with all those fat solar panels they should really take off. Four more weeks of solid veg and 2 months of flowering, I'm figuring 6-8 ft. Counted 40 this last time out there. None of them were showing any preflowers. All in all I was giddy as a schoolgirl. Put up more coyote urine and egg/blood pellets. I've got monster bloom I'm considering using starting middle of august, not that they really need it, haven't fertilized or even watered em' once. Peace guys :) tell me what you think! :yippee:
Yeah, not too worried about the bugs, though, I pull anything that is/will block sunlight, apart from that I've cleared so much for the space it's time to let the vegetation grow in a bit. We do have flyovers every year out here and it's good to let things look as natural as possible. I also avoid keeping the area too maintained so they don't stand out from everything else attracting animal attention. I remember when i was 15 actually mulching around a couple of plants I had hahaha, since then paranoia has wisened me up. Also I spray em down with neem oil as problems arise which works like a charm. Haven't needed spray yet this year.Quote:
