Howdy to whosoever is still checking this. Grow has been compromised by animals and grower paranoia. If you follow H0megrown's op then you are aware of his troubles with choppers and the MSP. Its no joke, bird has been all over MA rippin out spots. My girls where obviously very huge and very visible from the air and since this was not a guerrilla op I decided to chop all but the most concealed plant. Take my losses and grow another day. The fact is that most of the Jamaicans would not have finished in time regardless. They were obviously heavy sativas and were flowring slowly. The one that is left is the shortest and the one that was the furthest along so I left her. I will get an updated pic of her soon, growing nice looking airy buds all over the place, smells pleasant as well. I tip my hat to all outdoor farmers who brave the various forces each season to get to that special day. Planting a seed in April by no means guarantees you a harvest in Sept. I now know my place is indoors and after this year thats where I will probably stay. Plus it is hard work maintaining both an indoor and outdoor op plus a full time job. Props to those that do. Will definitely continue to watch all the great outdoor grows going on around here though. Nothing greater than seeing the herb out thriving in the wild!
I feel ya pain man, i truly do. I do not know why they are so serious about it this year, but they are not joking around. They are covering the whole state, ripping out hundreds upon hundreds of plants. I have heard from friends in the Berkshires who lost 50 plants to the msp and dea, along with people down in western and central mass. But goodluck with what ya got left, they left me with 2, and i plan on getting them to their full potential.
wow man i'm sorry to hear that, outdoor growing has never worked out for me so i too will continue inside. Amazing grow tho some monster plants that would have rewarded you greatly.
Update on that last one? I would have just kept going. Those things were big enough that they could have looked right past them thinking they were something else. Aww such a shame man. Sorry about that.
