ROBBED.
This will be my last post. Came down Friday morning to find Gorilla Zkittlez and Triple Cheese stolen in the night. They must have been casing the spot for a while; they waited right to last minute and seemed to know where all of the cowbells and traps were on and around the plants. They left behind the Wedding Gelato, I'm assuming because they couldn't carry any more. Had to harvest it early to make sure they don't come back for that one. Branch pic is of the one branch of Gorilla I found on the ground. The others are the yield from the Gelato and what my garden looked like when I went outside Fri morning. Not sure how much I'll end up with when it drys, thinking maybe a QP. What really pisses me off is that these dickless little fuckers are probably going to screw up the trimming, drying, and curing and wreck what would have been some unbelievable outdoor bud. It's been a great experience and I wouldn't change any of it, even though it feels like shit right now. Good luck fellow growers, make sure you protect your ladies. Peace.
OMG Murph!
I am crushed for you mate. I can't even imagine how you feel.
It leaves a sick feeling in my stomach not to mention all that hard work, dedication, money and love you put into those girls. Damn breaks my heart
Those FUCKERS!!! For years when pot was illegal, all you had to worry about were the cops. Today it's legal but you have to worry about assholes stealing your crops? Fuck them! I wish you caught them red handed so you could have killed them lol although it's probably best you didn't cuz dicks like that have nothing to lose and you could have got hurt. So for that alone consider it a blessing,
I'm sure this is just a set back for you however if it isn't, try not to let this experience hinder you from growing again. Wishing you peace and happy vibes 💪 👊
Thos motherfucks man I hate to see that happen to ppl spend all that time and everything put ur love in to your plants and some worthless piece of s*** comes along and takes your hard work sincerely sorry to hear fucking assholes
Hey Murph. 👋
Your journal caught my eye seeing as you’re a fellow Ontario outdoor grower. If the vinegar doesn’t work, try a milk recipe.
Those sure are some massive plants, but you’ll save yourself a lot of waste by thinning them out. It will allow more air flow and light penetration which is super key come mid to end of September. No one want to see bud rot, and it’s inevitable with our cooler Ontario nights and heavy morning dew. Them big buds need some time to dry out, and we’re losing 3 minutes of sun a day now. Good luck, I’ll be watchin.
Thanks sKitzO, I'm a first time grower so I'm not too sure what to do now. I've heard that thinning while in flower can put stress on the plant and even make them turn hermie . Is this not true? I lolipopped them pretty heavily just before they went to flower so the middles are all thinned right out. Would love to thin out some of these, but am worried about the stress. Any advise is appreciated. Thanks again and good luck with your grows.
Glad you still had one! Chances are that you knew those who took them since they sympathetically left you one.
Been growing outdoors in Ontario since '85 and they only guarantee you have is that people will be looking for your plants.
Go with shorter strains, but they will always come back now since they scored last year, and you did not build a compound(law) to keep them out.
I topped 2' off my Moby Dick four different times last year and it was still at the top of my 7' fence when finished. It was in a compound(and I own a dog), so I harvested all 4 last year.
Don't give up though, or those pricks have won.
That's a real bummer man ☹️
There is a special place reserved in Hell for worthless fuckers who steal outdoor grows from hobbyists like us. The Gelato looks nice tough. Hope u get a decent tasty smoke of it👌
Murph, that sucks big time. Although it’s pretty difficult I always try to look for the silver lining. You grew some monsters, but your space is clearly compromised outdoor. Next year, can you make them more portable and keep them in a locked shed/garage?
Also, did you call the police? If not, you should consider it. Is Canadian growers have the right to grow our 4 plant, and theft is theft. Likely won’t amount to anything, but we need to show out government where the issues are their their pot policy.
It sucks, but you still did get to harvest, so congrats on that, and enjoy the smoke.
Groomie, I can't believe what happened😱
I was looking at your diary the previous day and was amazed by the plants.
I feel so sorry for you and angry at the same time, thinking somebody did this.😪
Hey man I delt with a mild case of white powdery mildew in late June early August. This is the mix I used.
1L sprayer bottle with 1 ml of hydrogen peroxide 27%. Mixed with (enzymes komplete natural cleaner )4ml. Spray the effected area.
I used this before we started flowering in Ontario. I am not a fan of spraying anything when the plants are flowering unless it's absolutely necessary.
Hope this helps
Thanks Ssomeguy, Here's hoping they make it over the finish line. Sun is the big factor right now; days getting shorter and the sun has moved in the sky so a large Norway Maple is stealing more of their light. Good luck with your grows.
