I planted a Beautiful 10" tall lush green fluffy perfect TNT kush outside about 2 weeks ago, checked it once and it looked good a week later, than last night i checked it and it was ripped out of the ground??? :shock: thought I was on candid or something.

My first thought was people and I was being filmed and than I saw it laying there like right next to the hole and I don't think a human would pull it and lay it back down next to the hole??? But than again???

I see gophers out there all the time so what do you all say, I need reassurance..lol It was where a bunch of poison Ivy and what not so really I don't know if was humans..

Maybe a deer could have pulled it? - would probably leave some tooth marks on the stem. If no marks i would thinks a human pulled it.

Id say its some sort of animal... Its absolutely necessary to use cages where i live

probably a raccoon, looking to see what smelled so good in your dirt. They weren't after your plant.

Ya, .. lol I didn't hold it very long to examine it cause I thought I might be on candid Fking camera so, like, as soon as I picked it up I got all adrenaline filled, didn't make any drastic moves but tossed the plant to the side and walked off in the other direction..

It was sort of on a deer trail I saw plenty of deer track, but, no human tracks that I could determine weren't mine... I'm pretty sure it was an animal but like I said I didn't stick around for 2 seconds to find out.

It was a test run anyway but theres a stream like 10 feet from it and theres a lot of over growth and a lot of thorny bushes and shit like that. I've seen people start to walk their dogs down the very very beginning of the whole trail but, they never walked far enough to even get where I cut into the brush. Its behind my apartment complex and theres trash and just a lot of too much for grown-ups to deal with to make it worth their wild to be back there. Unless they have an agenda.. you know..

I got poison Ivy all over from going back there.

I think the animal thing is truly the cause but still a little paranoid..............

Anyway, I ain't been confronted??? so I'll let it go for a while and then try again with animals in mind!

So then the next question would be what are some good stealthy techniques for outdoor growing that still deflects wildlife!

It smelled so fking good and it was still completely in veg stage.. (pungent) It smells better than some actual bud that I have smoked 22% thc that I know of..

I got a cabinet with about 4 flowering and in another cab with about 14 clones... that one outside was a clone, and still got the mom.

If I were an animal I would definitely be all over that thing...

skunk's, possum's, coon's will all dig up fresh soil i just lost a few the same way, i lose a couple a year in this manner it's just a casualty of guerrilla growing.
I usually lose them within the first week or two if this happen's if they make it that long their usually good.

happy growing....tristynhawk

I would bet anything it was animals... It just happened to me the other day, the exact same thing except none of the others were touched that were right beside it.... animals did it to me a ton last year before i used cages

Ya, I thought the worst first but really, she was so small under all the other plants growing around her (and I kept her that way on purpose) that I believe it had to be animal, the only thing though is that as soon as I walked up the area was kinda pushed apart in a circle, like the old dry leaves that I so precariously put back were all pulled apart again, but then again animal would dig but I don't know if they would dig that good???

I still have not heard from anyone?? and now I plan on staying inside cause I got a new tent ... but still want to do the out side thing at some point!

Might try those cages, ukjw
