fuck this was an intense thread lol, one year I was living on a second story balcony with a wooder riser system so I was on the second floor but it was a deck suspended in the air kinda deal, someone actually climbed up the building on the other side of the house scaled the damn roof dropped down onto my balcony and ran off with my 7 foot tall plant, two weeks before maturity, right around this time actually, so if these kids really want your plants they will get them, but the only thing you can do is wait up man, I know its shitty but its your only option cuz the second you close your eyes its enevitable.
next time dont grow in your backyard unless its secure
the only things I could suggest is to tie the fish hooks to the brambles around the feet in your back yard, I member one year running through some field and got hooked by like 5 of them at once, they are very effective, and this grower had been and gone prolly years before.
the Dye on the fence is an awesome Idea I really like that one, the tent Idea was good as well..
just keep in mind, this punk that stole my shit scaled a damn building and jumped down from a two storey balcony prolly snapping his ankles for marijuana. LOL for marijuana man lol hurting.
Let us know how it turns out this thread was a nail biter for sure.
if your gonna dig up the plants, use the same soil it was growing in to prevent any shock to the root system. good luck
