Hello Prevention is your best and safest way. Prevent them from even getting to your stuff. A cheap chicken wire will prevent the animals from getting too close. Or they sell deer wire that 6 to 8 foot tall. They can have anything that grow outside the wire. Everybody's happy. Good Luck. Chuck.

For squirrels, a shotgun. For other pests, a flamethrower.

Hey Mate, Like Chucky mentioned, chicken wire. Also companion plants work really well! Have a look at my Diesel Auto Diary. It's outdoor and thrives mostly because of the guardians. And most important no pests...👌 Good luck for the rest of the way 🤞 OimRausch

Yellowing Budsights Early Fower (organic grow)I fed the plants yesterday and noticed that it was too warm in the tent. (86F) So I change the light time to 9pm-9am. As a result, the plants had 24 hours of darkness in the tent. When I turned on the light today I noticed that some of the buds had yellowed. pH (soil): 7,8-8,4

Hello! Does anyone have any ideas for how to space the trees under the light to be the most uniform when they get bigger? What kind of training would be best? What if they never stop doubling in size?? Should I PH balance every watering (goes up a little) Hope you enjoy the grow!
