Hello all! :peace:​

Short question-

Please list any pests I could encounter in WNY / Southern Ontario, as well as any preventions / cures.


Long description-

First time grower here with an ambitious start. I got seeds for 7 outdoor plants from a shop in TO, grew em, sex'd em, cloned em, and planted about 250 plants outside during the last 2 weeks. They aren't all together, maybe 15 in a spot being the most, I am not overly worried about man, they are pretty well blended in, and in a good spot. I am worried about creatures or other kinds. I haven't yet seen any insects, but would love to know what to expect. I HAVE been attacked by mammals already. About half the plants had 5 gallon holes painfully dug for them and filled with BLACK GOLD potting soil. (This was a HUGE mistake; something in black gold attracts diggers, lol). However, due to how long it took to dig all these holes the soil sat for more than a week and was “fully inspected by the area creatures” before the plants came.

I would just love to have an idea of what to expect pest wise, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything and anything eats weed plants in WNY! I have soda cans around the trunks, started with 2 liter bottles over that, plus garlic sprays and 2' tall chicken wire cages around the whole thing! Somehow, chipmunks I think, have still been chewing the fuckers down or somethin? When I show up to my plants I always expect them to be eaten, it helps with the disappointment I might be in for, and if i see a nice tree growin i'm that much more stoked! Thats about all I can tell ya, do everything ya possibly can and expect NOTHING! This way if you only harvest a couple plants you'll still be happy.

As far as a list I've dealt with these before : DEER, slugs, snails, catapillers, leaf hoppers, fungus gnats, chipmunks, rabbits, DEER, gopher/groundhog/beaver whatever the fuck the are, insects that I couldnt determine exactlley what they were, they ate small holes everywhere? The worst besides DEER has to be late september/early october mold, bud rot, botrysis etc..... Like I said just do everything " preventative" that you can and dont keep your fingers crossed throuoght spring/summer/fall , cause if shit does'nt " pan out" .....your gonna have one hell of a depressing winter!

i have some rabbits and they are little thief bastards! they take half branches off and just leave them a few feet away. my dogs have already chased them many times when i let them out to pee, and have caught and killed 2, yet even with these predators around (and the smell of their urine everywhere), the rabbits still haven't moved to a neighbor's property. i don't really know what to do with them. fucking rabbit potheads...
