Hi!
This is my first grow, and everything was going great until yesterday...

A rabbit ate nearly all my plant’s leaves . The plant is a 10 week old auto flower. The pistils on the buds are still mostly white though a Few have turned brown.

So, should I just harvest now even though the bud is underripe, or will the buds continue developing without leaves?
Thanks for the help. :)

If it's 100% a rabbit then some chicken wire should keep it out. Just make sure it can't crawl underneath.

I'm not sure about when to harvest tho, hopefully someone else will chime in.

At this point you may as well trim all stems with no leafs, put some wire around it... and grow it out with regular Ph water.

I wouldn’t waste money and nutrients on it.

That’s just IMHO.

How tall is this plant? You sure it was a rabbit? Cuz whatever ate it, got all the way to the top. Rabbits usually eat things off the ground or close to its head level no?

The plant is only about 20 inches tall. And I think it’s a rabbit because they’re the only animals found in my neighborhood that I would suspect

Sounds good, you're probably right. One of my buddies had this same issue with a stray cat haha. Crazy right? I personally don't like killing animals unless it's absolutely necessary. In the end, they're just trying to eat like the rest of us. I'd buy a cheap live trap and catch it. You'll get a better idea of what it is and how to deal with it. Whatever's eating your plant got a good meal tho, it'll be back for more.
