The Outdoor Threats To The Weed Crop

One of the things that the grower of a weed crop must be concerned with when it is planted outdoors is the threat to the crop and that does not just mean detection by humans.

There are other threats that can ruin a pot crop, such as deer, chipmunks, rodents and other creatures. Then there is also the treat of bugs that will need to be dealt with and one of the ways to repel these threats is to choose the right type of seeds.

There are seeds that have been bred to be used for the crop of pot planted outside; these have been genetically altered to naturally repel some of the threats. Another way that some threats can be avoided is placing steelwool around the bottom of the plants or aluminum foil, this will stop some bugs like the cutworm, and it can also help avoid damage by chipmunks or rodents.

There are also some fertilizers that contain chemicals that will deter bugs, but these should not be used when the plant is nearing maturity. While many people refer to marijuana as dope, it does not need the poison chemicals that are in some of the pest repellents for plants. The person growing the weed can also find organic pest control products in almost any store today and while they will work they also do not add any poison chemicals into the soil or on the plants.
