I only had 4 plants this year outdoors. I was gonna do a late run outdoors, but the fuggin rabbits thought I was just planting them a buffet.....bastards. It's all good though. Next year there won't be a single plant placed outdoors without being in a well-camoflaged bucket and caged. I can't totally control ripping, but I can damn sure stop the vermin!

if it helps i always trim the lower parts off the plant to stop slugs reaching up and our little floppy eared bastards having an all day bistro , the plants i take out are always clones grown to about 18 inch under floros and trimmed to be a stick , when on site i plant them up and source a stick from bushes to keep them up , this alllows a lollipop effect and bloody good yeilds plus none of the xmas tree looking rubbish

my brother had a few nice really danky dank babies growing

but they either got eaten by pesty deer or just destroyed by bugs

but he did manage to save one "mid" grade plant that dosnt look like any middies ive seen haha

When I finally had 3 nice plants that I started early July they got stolen by the police about mid August.

All in all I'm not too shooken up, I didn't get arrested or investigated, and I learned a lot about what I need to change for next year.

So for all the other people who failed tremendously like me this year, chime in on your experience, because the only thing to do is reflect.......

all you can do is learn from your failures, they say you need to kill your garden, or have some type of problem like the police intervention many times before perfecting your grow to maximum production/potency...about two years ago, me and a fellow patients had a 20pl op in his so cal backyard. While he was drivin his dads vehicle, he had got pulled over for some bs, the cop searched his dads car and found prescription painkillers in his dads name, my buddy tried to explain but they had narcotics officers on the scene in no time, they took him to his home to verify the meds were his fathers, when they got to his house, they noticed growing supplies, fert, blooming products etccc.... they ripped down our entire grow including a 3ft mother with a whopper trunk ahhaha...gotta learn from your mistakes

I let a male MasterKush mature along the parking lot brush. This was right next to a major defense contractor. What was funny was I thought I never thought I saw anyone hang out in that area and the next week there was like 10 guys having a smoke break next to the plant. Nobody touched it, or even looked at it but I swear someone was watering it cause it shoulda died in 2 weeks max. I took it one night late late and kept the pollen(10 seeds no female) just in case.

My buddy grew in his backyard for almost 10 years (suburbs). Then one night some little turd ripped him for all the plants. The sad part isn't losing the plants, its actually sadder for him to lose the ability to plant right in his yard. He told me that in the evenings he loved sitting on his deck and just watching them do their thing

I did. By a fellow breeder on the boards here, you all know who he is, my ex partner. For close to 2000 beans. Then calls me names and is talk'n shit like a little girl try's to blame me. Seedy and shady businessman he is. So a warning to all who know, a third knock off is coming from him and it's my Masugama line stolen from me, inferior stock though. It will be released as an Afi but he is quite well known for take'n other peoples work and call'n it his own. In fact, that's all he's ever done, LOL. Undoubtedly my pure Hindu Kush I was working 15 years ago but like I said, not the selected parent stock. Live and learn friends. Please be very weary of that new, inferior Afi line being put out by him. Hope this helps some. Unfortunate I have to expose the trash of this community. And he thinks he's get'n back the few packs I have of his, LOL... RD
