Wild animals eating tops

[xiaoxiao202]

I went outside to check on my 6 week old plants who are just starting to flower and i found that some human cut or some animal ate all the tops off there were alot of baby buds on the top and they completely cut the top off to where it is just the stem sticking out on the top (no shoots or new leafs..) i was wondering if it will ever grow back or if it will die. thanks.

Well, if its still vegging it'll now grow 2 shoots, probably. It wont die, but it wont get a proper cola. If its flowering it'll stunt the growth alot, even up to 2weeks.

If its a human, find out who, and kill them.

If its an animal, get a gun and blow it away. Or, you can put a fence up around the plant.

Where are you growing it?

i like the sounds of that lol
a nice co2 air rifle with a 700 foot per second power rating should do enuff damage to a rabit or small animal like that

You can get some clear monofilament 80# test fishing line and tie off the area around your plant. Give it its own compound to speak. Put first strand about 4 inches high from ground, thats trips them. Then put next strand about 3 foot off the ground about 5-5.5' in, that catches them by the throat. ALways gets their attention. Or better yet, use 400# test leader wire hooked to Claymores. Look for someone with a scar on thier neck or the animals just wont mess with anymore. If eating the tops it has to be deer or something. Aint many 4 foot tall rabbits around.

Or save your piss and dump it around the perimeter of your plants. Or take a whizz while there visiting. Or dump some fox or ceyote piss around the plants. That scares off most everything including you if you spill it on yourself.

I like Busters idea (gun), but seriously I had a problem with deer. I strung 50 lb. fishing line acrross all paths around my grow, at several hieghts in each spot. The deer of course could break through it, but they don't. It freaks them out and they find a different way. Then just for overkill, I hung bloodmeal in nylons and sprayed liquid fence. No more problem.

So i went back and checked on them and all i can see is sap coming out of the top ... (no growth yet) so i hope it gets better.
