Dam bro sorry to hear thatMy October 25th planting is gone.
View attachment 907466
Only 1 in a Kratky basket was left with munched leaves. Mice or rats.
On my way to the garage for traps and will be replanting today which puts me 2 weeks behind schedule. Maybe I'll put those plants with only 4 tops back in, top them and flip in 2 weeks. Then I should have more seedlings.
Shit happens, kinda like the death of mice and rats. Payback is coming like a bitch in heat.

Still got one.
I've been taking them out at night and during the day to dry hence why they were on the pan last night instead of their bottle. Happens. I see 'em run down to the patio at dusk through the dead weeds. Reallly my bad. I know better.
Got some Grand Daddy Purple seeds in the mail today so they join the party. No pics, ya know of wet peat pots with coco and perlite. Go figure but you know pics when they pop. By then I'll have armed guards and 24/7 video
I've been raped several times with spring seedlings. Seriously I've lost 100+ seedlings in a night or two. Mainly summer veggies. Slugs/snails mainly. Then the gophers who suck whole plants underground. No lie. 5 months ago they took a male. Got pics several hours apart. Plant fallen and plant frickin GONE! Maybe they have a grow program?
Last year gophers and ground squirrels bent me over. Must've been throwing parties. I wasn't invited.
This year it was another gopher and moth larva. I saw a group of 5 larva in a corner of the yard shooting dice and puffin splifts.
In my Kratky tomatoes I'm seeing more and more leaf boarers. Clipped off many leaves today. They've been in the pole beans in the ground which you can see in front of the swing set.

Can't believe they haven't jumped to the cannabis. Had a few leaves infected a month or so ago in the little greenhouse. I expect it but I'm watching them closely for balls. Don't know the species, there's many, even some moths. Figures, no?
It's been a battle. I seem to have the gophers and ground squirrels at bay. BT has kept the moth larva from doing much damage and I've been spreading snail/slugs bait twice a month around plants/greenhouse AND ant bait in the little greenhouse. Was looking at the tomato clones and saw light green aphids on the white pan. I've got a nice population of preditor insects but will spray neem.
This is a HUGE learning curve for me. For the past 40 years it's been plant in spring and harvest in fall. Period, end of story and plant the winter garden of veggies. I lost a batch of weed many moons ago from the cold. Half doz seedlings. That ended my thoughts of growing outside here, until arriving at the Farm.
I've got plenty of seeds to keep trying and I'm smarter than any rodent. Okay, that's debatable but still, I got opposable thumbs so there's that!
I'm really having a blast. I've got smoke for months, plants here and there and more seeds planted. The only way it gets better is when I jar that virgin flower. I can wait!
They too seem seasonal. Wish I could unleash a pack of spiders... Isn't this how the Advengers started?Love the vaseclassic!
I can tell ya if i was a pest i would stay the fuck away from your yard. You may just have to pull out the guard spider on these buggers.
Soil no longer exists to me, until next month when I fill spots with horse and chicken manure. I HATE soil growing after experiencing coco/HYDRO! Soil sucks unless you've got the time. Amazing the difference. I plan on growing BIG Pipes in soil this summer but wanting to force feed 'em. I'll be good and let them do what they'll do. Got spots where they're protected from gophers and can grow as large as they'll grow. Gonna plant the rest of the seeds in April. Yeah yeah, soil sucks. Not sure why you wanna try. It sucks.Looks like your rockin this coco stuff... How ya liking it compared to soil?
Well gonna be running reg beans and I only have 4 site in my DWC... Are you suggesting I go coco insteadSoil no longer exists to me, until next month when I fill spots with horse and chicken manure.

I've been planning on a SOG in a tomato stand. Thinking of filling with coco plants. Seriously hate soil grows at this point.
It's your fault and I'm blaming you.
Ease??? Ease of soil? Oh. You'll see. Yeah, wake me when they start to grow. Zzzzzz.Well gonna be running reg beans and I only have 4 site in my DWC... Are you suggesting I go coco insteadI mean I could prob get some stupid growth doing a 60/40 promix/perlite. But I'm kinda Diggin the ease of soil. Just water every few days and feed once in a blue moon.
Oh scratch the promix on that I meant coco/perlite. More watering in 60/40 but I feel would be even faster growthWell gonna be running reg beans and I only have 4 site in my DWC...

Sweet deal for him. I got all the equipment plants set him up. He pays the electric and water bill and I get half at harvest and teach him. Works for everyoneOh, well there it is. I GOT A GUY! I got a watering can. Nice having a guy.
Holy shit. Hydro blows away anything I could ever do in soil. Ever. I've grown stuff few have done. Not bragging just did some things right at that time.Hahaha. I may go back to hydro after I find a mom or 2. But need to sort the beans first would take me forever in a 4site hydro
Growth is pretty stupid compared to soil I noticed so far. I take no responsibility man all on youHoly shit. Hydro blows away anything I could ever do in soil. Ever. I've grown stuff few have done. Not bragging just did some things right at that time.
I CAN NOT grow anything in soil like in hydro. Sorry, can't do it. Not even close. YOU, so you're fault, got me doing this stuff. Love it so much I can't even say THANK YOU enough. You rock man. I am blessed.
Hey, I was fine on my own schedule and planting to harvest. Your fault. Deal.❤Growth is pretty stupid compared to soil I noticed so far. I take no responsibility man all on you
