The pinning like that is a mastiff trait. It's the reason they're rated as the number one guard dog.This is probably the one place these kind of dogs have a useful purpose. Diesel is silent, he's doesn't bark. His favorite thing is chasing & catching things. He'll chase you down, knock you down & hold you down. With his coloring he's invisible in the dark.
Nobody messes with Diesel's garden....

Not real bad. I thought it would be worse. He stays outside most of the time so it's not a big issue.@JJ
Does he have a "wet mouth" that is typical with some of the larger breeds?
My SA Boerboel leaks like a faucet when he knows food is iminent & Mrs. GWN follows him around with the swiffer after he gets a (big) drink.
Our pup's name is Diesel.Diesel caught a deer in the middle of the night that wandered too close to the garden. He didn't hurt it, just chased it down & held it for fun. The deer was released unharmed....

I guess they call that "Guarding" back east.he's trying to mount the kitty like his stuffed animal
Dry trim probably gives a little better finished product, but it takes longer, and it's more expensive. Since I vaporize all the trim, I trim wet & use a machine.....Question for you Double JJ. Off topic but I respect your opinions. Wet or dry trim? Up until our last harvest we always trimmed wet. Dry trimmed our last plant and it seemed to have better smell and even better quality. All seasoned growers are welcome to reply as well.

they sell tripwire's that fire blanks ...... just a thoughtI come to this site A LOT for opinions and info on growing but just now finally created an account to post. Let me start off by saying we are fairly new to Michigan and still getting our feet wet with growing our own mmj. Last year we had a small greenhouse that got a late start with about 8 plants in it. They weren't spectacular, but damn they were pretty. Rippers came and took all of it but a plant and a half with 3 weeks to a month of flowering still to go. I blame it on our own ignorance. Dogs were inside. Didn't hear a thing. We assumed we were safe since nobody knew us or about our grow, or so we thought. This greenhouse is about 8 feet from our house btw. This year we have 2 greenhouses, his and mine. We have already fought so much and won against all types of attacks against our plants. An attempted theft when our plants were still in pots in veg, bugs, powdery mildew, and even a knock on the door from the state police with a compliance check. After all that, and TONS of hours of hard work, our plants are big, beautiful, and oh so stinky and so close to being done. Well it appears that somebody out there is trying to reap the benefits of all OUR hard work again this year. My old man, bless his heart, stays up every night babysitting these greenhouses, sometimes with help, sometimes by himself, and always with our 2 dogs and our pup in training. This morning, at about 3:15am, he heard voices. Then a rock got thrown at our fence, I'm assuming to test the dogs. My man shot off our 22 into the air and listened to them run away down our driveway, 3 of them he thinks. Last year they came through the woods. This year walked right up the damn driveway. I guess I have 2 reasons for posting our story.....1) To put it out there to let the rest of you know the rippers are out and so are their balls. Guard what you worked your asses off for. (This is Muskegon/Oceana county area btw.) 2) I'm looking for any advice on what more we can do, within the limits of the law, to keep these scum sucking thieving bastards from getting us again. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
