I think my thread got deleted in the mass spam eradication cuz I just came to update and there's no trace of it. To recap: Put 6 plants out October 26th, mix of purple power and AK47 fem seeds, 4 nodes (10cm) high. Soil pH was around 6.5 and added slow release fert and crystal rain. Went back yesterday and 3 were completely gone, 2 were nibbled pretty bad and 1 was looking O.K. (shown in pic). I thought slugs and/or possums wouldn't be an issue because of all the gorse around but I was wrong. I have now replaced the 3 that were gone and have fortified each plant with a cage, pile of gorse around base of cage, and heaps of slug bait (as shown in pics). I can't think of what else to try, could it possibly be a flying insect that's been eating them?
Your back man Wondered where you disappeared to !! As for your problems , I doubt its possums or any rodent getting into your cages , But snails and slugs would walk in so try get some slug pellets , make beer traps anything u can read about to fuck em up !! There's some copper stuff u can buy too that they apparently hate You just need them to survive a few more weeks until they are too big for snails to bother then your set If you put pics of the eaten ones it might give us a better idea of the culprit too Looking good man !! 42o
Oh I didn't see you used slug bait haha . If you think it's slugs try the other things I mentioned Which work better (this copper stuff works best) Birds and caterpillars and shit eat them but your fence looks like they woulnt get in . Get some photos of the damage though if u can
Cheers 420outdoor, glad one of them looks O.K. I'm going back Friday afternoon to check on them again before I go away next week so I'll try get pics of the damage then. I think you're right about just holding on until they're tall enough to resist slug/snail attacks. Yours are looking nice man, good thing the comp is for biggest yield off a plant, not total harvest, otherwise I don't think I'd have a chance What's up nzstoner, you got anything growing?
Haha yeah sick how long you goin away for ? Yours will take off soon Did we decide what the winner and loser of the comp have to do haha ? Good shit man hope they r good wen u visit 42o
yea man! i have 2 currently out. aint as big as yours mine have 3 sets of leaves but are looking nice and happy. the long hot days here in welly are working wonders what ferts are you using?? ... will keep up with your grow and i hope no more bloody possums steal you plants!
Going away for a week and will go check them again when get back. Forgot camera on Friday but they were all still there and starting to crank. I think we mentioned the looser would have to smoke a set amount in set time which could be a fit punishment, the winner will get international respect and probably smoke just as much in celebration
Good shit man, I'll check your profile for pics after I type this. Windy Wellington aye, you know what strain you're growing or is it bag seed? I put some slow release ferts in the ground as well as crystal rain when I turned over the wholes I planted in. Every time I check on them I bring some Aunty Janes organic fert with me and give them a double strong mix of that. Will switch to a flowering fert once they start to get hairs and am gonna try keep it organic I think. Will post pics with next update when I get back
Awesome man, they will be goin nicely by the time you get back irection haha cant wait for the competition then man, gonna be good shit ! have a safe trip 42o
nah its just bag seed aye they were going good until just now, the bigger one looks to be curling up? im gonna post up some pics next time i visit my spot. im hoping we both end up with some skunky shit am looking forward too seeing your updated pics good luck!
