Thanks Man :)Looking good my friend. I still have my outdoor going as well and using your method of winging it for sure not really knowing what to expect. Im a couple weeks or so from chopping and looking spectacular. I could see myself moving completely away from indoor in the future. Keep it up Ken.
Looking good Ken..as always. I love outdoor growing (prolly cuz that's all I know) But seriously ya just can't beat natural sunlight. DJ Short has a lot to say about the bebefits of natural sun and MJ.
Congrats to Seamaiden on her Rat Patrol. From the pic, it looks like he got hit in the head (is that blood by his head?), then made a dash for it but the trap caught his tail. If there is one, there are more...keep baiting traps. Squash? whodda thunk?
Im in socal ken. Im from the midwest just relocated recently. Loving the changeThanks Man :)
I thought I read you had stuff outside. Are you in the Mid west??
Thanks Kolah :) Yeah man, I dont do well indoors..my plants dont either..
Outdoors Is where its at for me.
Yeah...Squash growing in a Basement...o_O

Cool Man. Welcome to cali :)Im in socal ken. Im from the midwest just relocated recently. Loving the change
Yup! That's exactly what happened and I knew we had a crafty one with the first two tripped traps. Dave thought they tripped on their own, but I knew otherwise, gut instinct. I've dealt with rats like this before, but avocado rats, the kind you find in the old, large orchards in SoCal. Those are some big rats, this one wasn't so big. But it was quick. For a while.Looking good Ken..as always. I love outdoor growing (prolly cuz that's all I know) But seriously ya just can't beat natural sunlight.

Of course I would have to grow it in a 360* cage to keep all the critters away
rat trap 101:
go to hardware store and get #12 x 1 inch brass crews..phillips head
file threaded end of screws to a point
solder sharpened screws to the outer corners of the trap bail so that when it closes it reminds you of fangs on a rattlesnake
drill 1/4 inch holes where the brass screw fangs hit the wood base of the trap so the screws penetrate the base with out friction
on the opposite end of the wood base... drill another hole to attach #12 awg wire,,,,2 ft long wire
attach at least 2 of these traps by the #12awg wire to a cinder block within a couple inches of each other
bait with chunky peanut butter and insert a peanut into the tube in the bait pan with force so that it can't be licked out
check daily
enjoy your stew :)
fwiw
its alsmost 100$ a roll at home depot and its not a long roll. mosquito netting on the sides and clear panels on top is the best way to go. in the summer time that GH will become a straight hot box with the plastic on the sidesI'm jealous! If you have extra dough you may to invest in some metal screening with 1/4 inch squares and tack them around your opening to keep critters out. 2 foot high fencing would prolly do.
