i had coons dig up sum of my plants like that tho... they can climb chicken wire or watever u use almost.

Yeah i don't know what it is getting at my plants, but security (chicken wire) is not an option. I don not want to draw that much attention to them, and They are So super remote. 2 mile hike from the end 3 mile long dirt road that goes no where, and has nothing on it. I was thinking of setting up a trail camera to see what was getting at it, but coons, skunks, possoms, could be it. I know it is animals cause my dead plant is still laying there next to the hole.

I always loose plants to deer and stuff but the year i tried slow releasers i lost all of them.

Another time (not the year i lost them to uprooting) i found my best plant had beeen chewed at the stalk like a beaver did it. No shit it looked like a beaver chewed tree. I have no idea what that was. probably a mouse or chipmonk or something.

It was my prize plant. i had looked at it 2 weeks earlier and found it like that when i went to harvest. It was all rotted and gross though. SAD DAY.

(the picture obviously is just an example of what i mean not my plant hahha)

I hear conflicting things about pruning, like it will extend the flowering period. In PA i can't do that. Hunters start entering the woods beginning of Oct. (archery), and it may frost at any point that late in the season.
