I wear around an old sock for a few days, let it get good and stinky, cut it into thin strips and tie them near your plants.

The only effective defense against deer is a barrier of some sort. Deer LOVE cannabis.

They love watermelon vines, too. I've seen watermelon farmers use a pneumatic gun that shoots off a a blast that sounds like a shotgun every so often. Sort of a sonic scarecrow. Thinking back I'm can't recall how effective it was.

In a guerilla grow, you don't have many options. The repellent might work, until the next rain.

In your shoes I would try to figure a way to MISDIRECT the deer away from your grow. Find out what deer prefer to eat and what they hate. In the direct vicinity of your grow site, plant the shit they hate alongside your girls. I mentioned their fondness for watermelon. Plant a few watermelon patches a little further out, in the near vicinity & perimeter of your grow. One melon would provide you all the seeds you require to plant and watermelons are easy to grow. Just a thought.

The ingredients of Natural pest solutions inc. "Deer & Rabbit Solution":

"Active" ingredients: Cinnamon Oil 3.14%, Table salt 1.20%

"inert" ingredients(95.66%): Vinegar, Guar gum, Eggs, Onion, Water, Coffee

The skinny: Dept of agriculture does not allow you to call any products other than chemicals "active" ingredients. If the inert ingredients did nothing, they wouldn't be in there.

The old farmer at the garden center said that this is the best one out there. It works on deer, rodents, rabbits, squirrels, almost all mammals. It comes with 2 small 2 oz. bottles with the solution in them, comes in an approx. 32 oz. spray pump bottle. You use one 2 oz bottle at a time. I believe it retails for approx $13, but you can also get eggs, coffee, vinegar, and cinamon oil and mix it yourself. I still use the pump bottle because I really like the pump style, but remake the solution from what I have. I haven't gotten my crops eaten once in two years. I live in the middle of the forest and see deer every day. I spray it directly on the plants(not during flower), as well as on the plants all around it in a small area. I havent ever experienced leaf burn from it, but I would apply once in a small area to make sure.

It seems quite water resistant as it is very oil based. After HUGE rains I would definitely reapply.

dude! READ THIS. i have a 1 gallon apple juice bottle in my closet. lets just say, the people at motts wouldn't like it if this slipped onto grocerie shelves. no why. cause its full of piss not juice! in 5 days i can top a gallon jug easily.. friday rolles around i see my plants and i spread the peepee around. i take a shit at my best spot.. sometimes ill step in my shit and walk around, spreading my disgusting scent. hope that info helps.... a lot cheaper and easier than buying fences and chemical repellants!
