Last year near harvest time there were always some working the plant.
At one point was having a sex convention on a section of the wooden plant support.
There are plenty of things to eat in the garden, my thinking with a container a week you will get a boomerang effect.
When I released the praying mantis on the cannabis plant there were birds diving into the plant for the praying mantis. I found four egg sacks all four have hatched. So some did survive.
I actually never grew outside as I'm so far north but had used the long summer days to veg a few in 5gal pails to finish off in the grow room under a big SHPS bulb usually a 1000W. Before they went into the grow room they stayed up in my shop under a couple 400s in the open while they go thru a 4 spray cycle of Safer's End All with 10ml canola or neem oil added per litre. 12 days from the first spray. Thrips spider mites, and aphids always but the treatment always works so no bugs to ruin my harvests.
I really don't like all the bugs I find in the outdoor auto grows I've done. I spend more time brushing them out than I do trimming and I hate trimming with a passion so about 90% of my crops have been going to oil. I just trim up the primo colas fresh and do a 4 week slo-dry and another month burping them until they are ready for the pipe.
Now with the hemp farming I'm hooped for pot outside or even indoors as that pollen will get in for sure. Good thing I don't want for weed so up to a dozen plants of two or more strains starting November should good enuf. Two I've picked out are Paonia Purple Paralyzer and a Seedsman unnamed 30:1 CBD plant. Lab report showed just over 21% CBD and about 0.7 THC. The hemp farmer is cool with me harvesting flower tops once they've mowed down the crop. They're just after the fibre so don't care about the flower. I have about 10lbs I haven't done anything with yet. Should be about 6% CBD or higher.
