I checked the girls this morning. The autos are just starting to flower.

The Critical+ moms were blown over by heavy rain and winds. I knew I should have staked them. The 5gln buckets were upright. It was just the plants were pushed over.

I staked em up this morning. I'll give them till next weekend and Ill t/p them both into 30gln camo grow bags. Was gonna do that this mornin but I figured they got abused all week long so Ill give em another week before t/ping.

Heres some OD pics. I got 2 plants that got eaten by rabbits.
The other 10 autos and 2 C+'s are fine. (I had strong wind and rain push over my 2 big C+'s. They were sideways for like 5 days. I staked them up yesterday).

We had a storm blow through yesterday with huge winds for like 20 minutes.
I wasnt able to check them this morning due to neighbors being awake early but will get out there tomorrow morning.
I hope the wind didnt push the 2 C+'s over.
If so they are getting abused OD this year.

Thank you for the kind words OKD and calientecarlos.

The Autos are flowering away now, and getting their stretch on.

I bought a 25' green fence from Home Creepo with the fencing stakes, but last year when I wasnt growing OD's, a copter hoovered right above the treetops for 2 minutes, so I was paranoid about it happening again. They would see that fencing. I have a perfect spot but the copters scare me.

Fock the man! Cheeba Libre! I've used mothballs and 20lb fishing line OD guerrilla for less visual when inconspic is main goal. My guer setup now is surrounded by 2ft tall rosehips keeps them bastards away like a molebuster!

I had a few more get eatin by rabbits. "Dam those phillthy wabbits". Where is Elmer Fudd when you need the man huh?
They just chew the main stalk right under the newly forming top colas. 2 more 5 inch long colas are just sittin in the dirt like they just got done being chewed on.
I betcha anything there were a line of rabbits lined up like a buffet table when I walked up and they scattered when they heard me coming. LOL
The colas are still fresh and vibrant when I pick them up out the dirt. Had 1 Magnum that got eatin, had a hermi male sack on it, so I guess that 1 was a blessing.
Gaurd rabbits keepin them hermis at bay for me. LOL
Dont need any beans in the 2 monster C+'s out there with them.

Everyone of my autos is eatin by rabbits. Fukers! They just chew it at the base of the top colas and leave the cola in the dirt. LOL It was an experiment out here anyways.
I just put down 10 more Diemos in a real safe, sunny, spot so we'll see how those do.

Sorry to hear.. May I suggest that you use a holy handgrenade?
Just remember to count to 3... Not two, and not four.. But to three.. :)

Best of luck! Hope they bring some weed in!

Btw.. Chickenfence could be useful...

I hear ya. Were Im doing it, a fence would have probably been seen. The C+'s are doing just fine.
"Try to chew through stalks as thick as a thumb f**kers!!!" LOL
I think in this perticular spot, the plants have to be grown indoors for a few months before putting them outside. I wont be able to use autos here. Just waaaay to many rabbits and the autos had PM on them anyways I seen. Thats ok though. Ill just have to grow monsters out here that wont give up its fruit till Oct. Ok with me as long as they dont get budrot.
I have a bunch of possible spots for autos, but the time is running out now. Ill just have to depend on the 10 Diemos at the safe, sunny spot.
My friend/partner didnt understand that the old/used FFOF soil I gave him was supposed to be mixed in with the soil in his garden already so all 25 Purple Kushs didnt do good and had to be pulled.
He understands now that used soil was just a buffer for oxygen intake to be used with the existing native soil in his garden. So we'll try again. Thank God and (you know who you are) that I got enough beans to play with, to map out good sites and x out the bad ones.
Thank You soooo much! Even though this spot did terrible the next sets will be alot better now so the season isnt over yet!

deer and rabbit repellent.. go on google and get some directions to make ur own.. its easy cheap.. and u can make a ton.. and it works great... just make up a gallon.. leave out in hot sun for a few days to get it to stink.. and boom. u got urself a concentrated version of rabbit and deer repellent.. just add water at the ratio u need and spray..

we actually did this because of the same problems.. every thing was being eaten at the stem... since we made this stuff.. haven't lost anything..

also dude.. a good friend of mine starts flowering inside.. july 1st.. then after the stretch is done.. he brings them outside in 5-7 gallon bags.. and pulls 2-4 zips a plant on clones.. just need to find some that are mold resistant and it should be good.. he got the idea from Silverback..

its not to late to get a nice harvest.. even clones put out in a good sunny spot should hit a qp.... pretty easy.
