Leave those chicks alone.

But yeah the anti-deer witch brew does work.

This is what I based my deer repellent on.

There are more recipes online.

Oh yeah, I didn't spray it on the plants.

I sprayed around them and even filled a few solo cups buried at ground level.

I'll try it on a few in a windy spot. See if it helps. I'll use a manual brad gun on the stalk and lower branches.

It's in a forest clearing/wetland. Lots to eat there. I'd have to put out a hundred lbs of sunflower seeds to compete with the food already there. Good idea though.

You do this for guerrilla grows?

Never heard of the egg trick before. Have did the nail trick ol fella taught me that years ago around my area we call it crucifying.

Try burying a dead fish a foot or so underneath each plant, then you are in business.


You should also put out a tin of tuna with a very small hole bored in the lid to keep the critters busy or sometimes they will dig up freshly planted chronic.

We buried a 50 thousand diseased Mad Cows about a dozen years ago. Would that be a good spot? lol

Need extra sunlight for your grow?

A couple people said they always did it. I'm a little curious, so I'm willing to spend a dozen eggs on it next grow as a test. I'll do it to 6 Photo's and 6 Auto's.


Now I read mention that in the "old days" they'd drive a nail into the stalk to thicken it up. Thicker stalk, bigger cola. Has anyone heard of that?

Seriously with out the toast butter and bacon I don’t see it working

Anyone put rusty nails in the hole? I've heard old timers do this for all different plants as its supposed to provide mineral benefits, not sure I buy it

No but I've heard of stem splitting or driving a nail in the base to speed up finishing the plant.

- Nail in the base is just like it sounds.
- Stem splitting is splitting the stalk with a knife and inserting a stick to keep the wound open.
