never thought this could happen

[oldjarhead100]

rough day yesterday my plan was to move the 9 plants from my veg room into Bloom room Didnt happen

I called my dad before heading down cellar he was having a real bad day so I said I would come visit him ,so I head out while feeding chickens I smelled a skunk in the coop sure enough I had a dead chicken sad but it happens so I head down to visit him while I was down their I went to HTG hydro supply and picked up some soil got home and unloaded the truck

I go in to check the plants and I opened the door to the auto room (half of my old tent) and I see this plant all messed up like I stepped on it so I fix it as best as I could but I have alot of work to do to transplant 10 of my best ever plants in 5 gallon pot I looked at them and it took a couple of seconds to sink in they are gone WTF I mean gone there are no leaves just a cut stock 7 out of ten I cant believe this shit but some kind of critter got into grow room and ate them ,oh shit I checked the veg room its ok whew. I then proceeded to set up have a heart traps for the skunk outside and the phantom critter inside ,but believe me I wont have a heart for the little bastard that ate those plants

I then called my friend who I knew had some more tutandhamond seeds and picked those up . Hes doing a run now with seeds he got from me so I will reorder and replace I started them on a wet paper towel. I also set up a game camera to see what it was . Oh well just a couple of week set back but those were some fantastic looking plants

Morning OJH, yeah, ain't it funny how the Big Bass, always gets away ?? Same way with your nicest plants, whatever it is, they always get the nicest ones, ain't that a bitch ??
I sure hope you catch the culprit, sounds like that mfer, was hungry to me, Maybe, he want come back, but I sure wood like to know what it was.!!

[abadtrip]

1 time I caught a big bass then I started salmon fishing u are right there are no big bass

[D.A.A.S.69]

Yeah Abadtrip, where you live ,you are right, you don't have big bass, up there, But where I live our state record is over 18pounds, and that's a big bass, with numbers of 10-12 pounders caught every month.
We don't have Salmon, unless it's canned.

[abadtrip]

Dam that's a big bass

[PRIMO]

OJH There's a solution for every problem.

[alltatup]

Don’t shoot!!!! 😂😂😂

[Potted]

Fire when ready gridly

[oldjarhead100]

thats pretty good primo

[uncledoug]

Bummer sorry for your loss. Just wanted to give you a tip in case you don't already know. Dry cat food or pot plant trimmings work great for skunk trapping, also get an old towel or sheet and place on top of your cage trap covering the top/sides and back, leaving the door way clear, that way when you approach the trap it's less likely to spray. Good luck

[oldjarhead100]

after checking nothing set the trap and there was new damage if I didnt know better I would say someone cut them with a knife almost a perfect diagonal cut so i'm off to get mouse traps and bigger traps , im emptying out the room first to make sure it didnt decide to make a house in the nice warm room

[oldjarhead100]

after looking at plants and moving them I found most of the missing plant material so I think its just hungry and is looking for food or it just gets so stoned it forgets its eating and moves on to a different one lol

[D.A.A.S.69]

I don't think I've probably seen more than 20-30skunks in my life in the daytime, but hundreds of them stinking ,pot eating bastards, at night, that's when they come out, an get hit on the road at night, but my buddy had a pet skunk, that was the best pet ever.
I bet you catch his ass, tonight, OJH.,with that trap, just be ready, when you next to him, they will eat your ass, up, almost as bad as a coon.

[Chefbjy]

That sucks so sorry they were your best girls.

[desertdan]

Could be the skunk. I had one girdle three six footers one time. Caught it in a have a heart but I did not have one when I dispatched it with extreme measures.

[Dutchman1]

My condolences OJH.

[Ell]

Ditto.

[alltatup]

Really sorry for the damage done OJH. Lil bastard.

[POKEDSMOT]

Damn! I'd catch it, kill it, skin it,grill it, eat it, and leave the remains outside as a warning.

Serious tho. How did it get in?

[Campesino]

So sorry for your loss

[gbauto]

Sounds like you need to set up a defensive perimeter...skunk down.

[oldjarhead100]

its not the skunk that got inside its outside ,I dont have a clue whats inside but I went to lowes and bought 4 small traps 1 large trap 4 large sticky pads two packages of decon baits and this morning I'm heading to Agway to get some pellet poison that you dump in there holes but I'm going to leave little piles around .

heres some pictures of the damage although it killed 6 plants completely looks like it manifolded the tutankhamon and midnight mass for me all I have to do now is tie them down they are photos Now the autos it took branches off of a lot of different plants the last picture is of a jack herer

brighter side my tongue feels better

[DingusKhan]

Well shit, maybe you're on to a new method.

[GreenhouseEffect]

Careful with the poison.
Dad tried to poison this Pocket Gopher one time, that was eating his garden, and the little bastard ate his plant, apparently, to survive the poison.
Same one that ate the poison, then ate the plant, and lived.
The funny ( or not so funny) thing was, that out of 3 plants, she ate the only female plant, almost like it knew where to find the medicine that it needed to survive.
Sorry the rodents got to your plants, that sucks! Might be raising a litter with all that eating all of a sudden, definitely good to get rid of it right away. Alaskan traps work really good to sometimes.

[oldjarhead100]

Alaskan traps???

[GreenhouseEffect]

Ya, basically a drowning bucket. Some type of small pipe or something going across the top, with some peanut butter out in the middle. The idea being, that when the rodent gets out toward the middle, the pipe spins and dumps it in the drink, where it gets tired of treading water, and slips quietly off to the great rodent heaven in the sky.

[oldjarhead100]

so this is one of the tutankhamon that got chewed I have this one with one manifold arm
2 with 2 arms 2 with 3 arms and one with 5 arms
then I have 2 midnight mass that are now manifolded now as well
I also started 7 more tuts 6 came up and are in rooters now so I think the catastrophe wasn't so bad

I still dont know what it was but I had no new damage yesterday but I thought I heard a chipmunk squeaking in the corner

[D.A.A.S.69]

Morning OJH, you got one of those smart varmints, your gonna have to go get your 12gauge-buckshot-tree stand an wait him out,.
I sure hate all that damage you got, what is MidnightMass ??
