Attack of the deer!!! A deer really chomped through my Chocolate Mint OG π . It only ate the lower half thankfully but really ate everything there. I have started applying hot pepper wax to all the fan leaves now with hopes it will deter them from coming back. In reality I'm not too concerned because all of them are doing really well. Sour Blueberry is well over 7 feet, probably going to supercrop soon to at least limit height a little bit so I can set up a plastic rain cover for the fall. It's been an incredibly hot week and they've been taking about 10 gallons of water each every other day! M.O.B. might be in the early stages of flowering? Not sure yet but it is popping a lot of hairs and sunlight is decreasing each day so who knows, only time will tell. Cheers to next week!

I highly advise to use neem oil and spray on the foliage. Make sure to spray the top and underside of the leaf.you may also try insecticidal soaps. The key is to reputedly spray the foliage as it is instructed on the packaging. Typically you will have to do it for a week or so every day to make sure that you have killed everything. You could if you would like as well but large mosquito netting and drape it over the plants. Place ladybugs inside and they should devour the spider mites. Every grow I use lady bugs I typically have no issues. Good luck on your grow!

please do keep the updates coming, may be small now, but especially if they are going outdoor, itll be really nice to look back to germination when they are giants! HSO is a top notch breeder, running their blue dream right now, loving it. hearty genetics all around their stock! the blue dream will get SUPPPER tall out doors compared with rest of your batch

Hi @AlbinoFarmer! The best way to kill them is to mix neem-oil with water and spray your mix at night onto and below the leaves. If you can't find neem-oil, alcohol will do the job, mix 1 part alcohol with 9 part of water, this should not hurt your plants. You need to react as fast as you can so your yield won't be too much affected. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and good luck with these invaders. π

@Stick, fantastic advice to combat the outdoor pests which cause so much havoc :)
Neam oil wirk fantastic and natural. Much better than chemical pesticides in my opinion and better not only for the plants but our surrounding :)
Kind regards

Outdoor-growing in new england is a question of timing. You did it well as i looks. Happy growing... be prepared to build a higher roof for september to protect them from rain

A nice selection of HSO genetics so you know we will be watching with interest my friend :)
100% germination is always a great start to any grow and good call on starting indoors due to your reduced outdoor grow season :)
Best of luck with your outdoor adventures my friend and I'll be back in on the next update to check progress out :)
Thank you for starting this diary on the grow diary platform. It's filled with great people and some very knowledgeable growers you'll be right at home :)

Looking sweet! What is the chicken wire for on the bottom of the smart pots?

Humboldt_Seed_Organisationcommented6 years ago
@McLovinVT, You will find that a lot of outdoor growers use chicken wire or cages to protect there plants from a lot of pests such as rabbits, dears and apparently chipmunk. They all love this plant so we must protect the best we can :)
Another week and some very solid growth :)
Looking really good from here :)
Kind regards

@Fergie, I'm planning on keeping them in the 25s, it would be far too much work to transplant them to anything bigger. I'm sure they're going to quickly outgrow these pots but I think they'll be okay and should have a decent harvest.

@Jack_Greenstalk, if the pest issue can be controlled or eliminated I agree. This has the potential to produce some monster flowers :)
Looking on point so far and can't wait to watch how this outdoor adventure progresses :)

As a few grow diary members are finding out, our blue dream is one heavy feeding strain and typically needs 50% stronger feed than other strains π
They are all looking in tip top shape for outdoor plants but I would try to get some organic pesticides or predators to take care of the big issue. Predators would be my preference mate π
Keep the outdoor updates coming. We love seeing our strains grown as nature intended, very cool π
Kind regards

Sorry to read about the dear attack my friend. This is one of the challenges with outdoor growing and you are taking precaution so this does not happen again π
Apart from that the plants are loving the sun and growing well π
I love all cannabis plants but I really do love seeing our strains being grown as nature intended π
Keep the our door updates coming we like what we see π
