Just keep a eye out on your plant when ever you can too see if you notice any unwanted attention :) . I have grown many things outdoors and funnily enough depending on the type of strain you are growing ( ive found the sweeter smelling ones the more attractive to our feathered friends) ,yes some of the smaller birds will eat the leaves as I get that problem every year during outdoor season. You can either get fine mesh kinda like fly-wire but little bit softer n lighter and cover n tie down your most "attacked" plants or a light home made chilli garlic watered down in a spry bottle sprayed on foliage daily. I had 3 big plants nearly ruined by these lil punks last season and found a combination of the 2 worked for me. Good luck

Birds eat it,
Ants love it,
Fowls eat it,
Goats love to play with it
So you`ve got to
 
I dont think its birds now, whatever it is totally destroyed 4 branches bigger ones. I now have like 3 main branches left ;(, yesterday I put splints on it and taped the branch. This morning I checked and the branch that I fixed yesterday was snapped back and the top is totally gone. Idk what it is at 1st I just noticed some leaves were plucked off (perfect word to describe) , then I had 2 branches that got broken so I taped them up and used wood skewers as splints worked well. Then the little Motherf%cker snapped the other branch and took all the leaves up to about 8-10 inches from the top, again I used a splint and tape tied it up and this morning its snapped with no leaves left on it. I'm just going to relocate it but its in a 5 gal bucket so its going to be tough to transport for me w/o a pickup truck. should I just cut the branches off at the base or will they regrow any leaves?? If it wasn't 6 ft tall I'd prob toss it out but I don't have much growing this year.
 
Oh and I've already lost 3 WW clones dues to a coon. SOOO I'm going to kill the animal that likes to visit my plant, I wasn't going to after they got the WW I figured I'd keep my cool. Now I don't care

can you protect your plants with a chicken-wire fence...it sounds like a rabbit as a deer would have ate it all in one sitting

"Leaves plucked off"... Humm.. Maybe you have a baby giraffe or a stoner turtle back there... Either one will make a delicious soup!

Sorry I know the pics are for shit but it is what it is, I took some of the many damaged branches I taped and put plints on the one I think I can save I just don't know if it'll survive (the branch that is) I know the plants mature and should be fine. Also I took some pics to see if anyone can tell me if its a female, I've never had soooo much bullshit happen in one season. Thanks any info is helpful

too bad man...the little vermit ate a fair bit of your plants....but I think it's will survive. Keep every leaf that is green as just wait to see how it does.

I can't see any gender signs yet...
 
I moved it so it should be good just not real happy with the amount of sunlight it'll get. but better than being food for a critter
