Harbor freight driveway alarms are cheap and great but you need to be home to hear them,its like a doorbell that goes off in your house when they trip the motion sensor.

They will be back if they think you have something they want.It sucks your generosity and trust was violated but your breaking a cardinal rule of pot growing by showing your hand,they probably sold the weed you gave them and bought meth not soap or a warm meal.

This has really taken it's toll on me. The sad event by itself was enough to make many people just move indoors to grow only.

In the past, I also put razor blades on the stems of my plants. Or attached them to the tomato cages which were my inner most support. When they reach for the stock, they get a sliced up hand.

Fish hooks on fishing line.

Tin cans with rocks and a string.

Razor blades on the top of your fence, or broken glass glued down. I watched on video as this was very effective for me in the past. Or carpet tack strip, that is what I used.

Look into simply safe. This is for your family, and your house. Super cheap, super effective. Even has a panic button. Also has advanced features such as silent alarms for doors and windows. I may or may not have these wired to every greenhouse door on my property, and garden gates.

Camera system. Even if you can't find a working system, put up a dummy camera with a glowing red light and point it at the fence. Then put up a sign in the ally that says something along the lines of, this property is under surveillance. Trespassers will be prosecuted.

Get a dog.

Camp out.

I really am pushing for a dog now and the same as had back in the collective days. Cane Corso is the best cannabis guardian and amazing with children.

Back to basics here in Northern California for this 1st time outdoor grow.
Resolved all the security and donation issues so that one will not become the other. Now back to the actual grow and harvest...

Cannaventure Legends Mix ??
here is the odd ball of the group.
Still can't figure what to do with this girl who my wife and I call the "Angry Midget". I think she is beautiful and smells amazing, but I can't imagine her buds any then the size of a marble once dried. I going to wait until she is mostly ambered colored in tricomes so she can have an extra two weeks to impress me. If anyone has any info or how I can get the angry midget to bulk up and grow please late me know...the angry midget has the potential of a giant!
Here are some pics of the almost completely covered branches and stems of this stocky girl.
The Angry Midget
The bud has completely covered every inch of this plant and its stacked like nothing I've ever seen. I had to remove some of the bud just that light and air could get to the center of the plant. Too bad they are so tiny.

The 2nd plant taken out by nature's little bastards...Bud Worms was the

Somango by Seedsman Seeds
She really started strong and rushed right out and screamed her name, but was just no match for the white fly/bud worms, but in the end she still turned out pretty damn good IMO. She smelled of friuty something possibly a mango/grapefruit combo and a little lemon funk and tasted the same. Strong little girl and being harvested nearly a month early. I've donated most of her and will probably use the remain 3 oz to make butter.


Somango dried and trimmed ready for cure.

How did that go down?

Here's one of the Ewe 2 after a week curing. That's all that is left after a week or so. We made sure we put a few nugs aside for us.
From everything we've heard back who tried it is that it is extremely strong and very heavy. Even for being forced to harvest her about 2-4 weeks early she still rocked in overall production. She didnt smell much during flowering, but her sneaky stinky come out in full effect during the cure. She smells like a vanilla creame, earthy (that bubba kush scent) and black licorice...amazing. Im definitely growing her out again !
