Finally some relief, understanding, closure! I couldnt for the life of me figure out why my outdoor was doing so poorly. I knew it wasnt my nutes or watering schedule. I was just chocking it up to bad soil and too small of a hole. Well I went ahead and dug her up today, and lo and behold some cocksucking rodent ate all of her roots off from underneath!
This was all that was left of the roots when I pulled her out of the ground with one hand.
I dug down in the hole and found this lateral cave leading off under the fence to the neighbors. Fucking bastards! LOL Never again will I put a plant in the dirt, and this was my first! I've always grown in pots outdoors and here's reason number #X to continue using pots.
