WOODCHUCKS
Figure 12.1 - Woodchuck.
Woodchucks will nibble your stems and collapse the plant.
The way to solve this is by using predator urine (Also see Deer) or by
building a very small mesh fence around the bottom of your outdoor
plants. This will keep the chucks from eating your stems and branches.
Use more than one rap of mesh and make sure that you keep it tight.
Also planting Marigolds near your grow will help keep the chucks
away.
POWDER BUGS
Like to lay their eggs in your bud and stem. They can reduce
your plant to nothing in weeks. You need a pyrethrum-based
insecticide to keep them away. Ask your local grow shop for
information on this product. It will also help keep away other insects
such as mites.
