Someone has been feeding my plants..

[LolaGal]

I would've thought someone would dig them up and move them if they found them.

My money is on the farmer. He saw you in his corn field, planting and he was curious, so he found the plants.

If they were gonna steal em, they would be gone by now.

I think it is just a friendly helper. Don't worry, they will be there when you get ready to harvest, unless the corn gets cut first.

 

[grouchy]

Yeah, the farmer is trying to help you finish sooner so you will get your freakin plants out of his field so he can harvest.

 

[h.h.]

If the owner of the field found the plants, they belong to him. Taking them would be stealing. You're a squatter and blah, blah, blah...enough lecture.
I would dig up as much dirt around them as I could get in my bucket. Make sure and have time to get some water to settle the soil or have a quick pick up.
In your hurry don't leave a mess in the poor guys cornfield.

 

[grouchy]

Im nearly positive that someone has found these plants. I found freshly cut tops on a couple of them.

This was the farmers "cut". He will probably hot box the combine this fall. If you see him waiting for the stop sign to turn green and going extra slow through the field you will have your culprit.

 

[LolaGal]

^ Good one grouchy... lol

 

[Guerilla Family]

I never thought about it like that. I did notice a couple top buds clipped. Maybe thats all he wanted...? I really dunno. I sure hope so. IF I took these down now, It would be a complete waste. The hairs are 90% white, and have just began to color. I figured the earliest these could come out would be Oct. 15th. I mag dig up all but one just to see what happens.. Im gonna have to do it soemtime during the week tho. Thanks everyone

there is no way the farmer is feeding weed plants.

 

[Guerilla Family]

Someones feeding them.. Fucker boosted them on the Nitrogen. They should have been harvested weeks ago.. Way they look now, they may go another 3..

This is pretty bizarre man...

If it was the farmer, he would have pulled your crop no questions asked...
If it was another cannagrapher, they wouldn't be sprinkling osmocote...

It's the farmer's son!

 

[ItsAllOver]

LOL. This is a weird one. So wait you are not going to take them down?
I'm wholeheartedly endorsing the leave them a DEA note option. You're on candid camera. They'll shit their pants and never come back. You'll be good to go. I think you should try leaving them out there!
Woo!

Id say it is perlite, perlite floats and is bigger then grains of soil so when it dose rain or you water the ground gets pushed down and around the perlite and it makes it apper as if the perlite is coming out of the soil.
Also after perlite gets wet you can crush it in your fingers qwite easy.

Hey Gurilla
I know how you feel I have been ripped several times in my growing career, the life of a guerrilla. I know what its like to see something out of place or not right in my grow area too. I have to tell you though I have never found something in my grow area that tipped me off to a rip of my plants not how it usually works. They come looking in the fall and pull plants a few weeks later.

I wouldn’t move those plants and I will tell you why. In any of the times I have been ripped they don’t care for the plants, why would they. They also don’t want to tip the owner off either. The only very remote chance is teenagers who don’t know shit from shineola about growing and think they wondered on to some mysterious wild weed. Not likely right?

Next time you are back at the patch take a second look with a clear head and analyze the situation again.Dig into you soil a little and see if this mysterious material is under the soil too. Look for other clues to solidify your ripper idea. Not saying it isn’t plausible but attack like this.
You are growing in a cornfield unless you have left obvious tracks or it is just a few rows in its very unlikely someone just wondered in and found them. If it was rippers do you think they stopped here or are they looking for many other patches? Are they out there caring for every patch they find?
3 weeks from harvest removing plants this late in flower will be like harvesting them in my opinion. It’s a tough call and their your plants so take everyone’s opinion including mine with a grain of salt.

Good luck and PEACE

ive been mulling over a lot of choices.. It just doesnt seem that it could be anything else. And I have no clue how it got there.. Maybe whoever it was did throw down some plant food and ripped some top buds in exchange.. Maybe there are a few hundred other plants in just another few rows, and the grower mistaken my few for his.. Im really not sure.. But I will take ur advice, and go back in to investigate further.. I will take pics of the "osmocote" and the missing buds, and yall can decide for yourselves..

Leave a note in a rainproof baggie saying "let's share" and see if you get a response.

i had cutt every thing down and make bubblehash from its before its all gone

 

[Bulldog11]

I I have used many top feeds on normal plants in my garden. Many of these look like white pellets or different color pellets.

First thing here is.... If there is no other white pellets around, then no mater what it may be, somebody put these white dots there and only there (no where else in the corn fields right?) for a purpose. Which means your patch has been found.

I seriously doubt anybody would poison your crop, especially since they would be poisoning there own crop of corn. They may just be doing a good Samaritan thing and noticed your plants turning a little yellow so they added some nutes. Either that or they plan on taking your crop. Those are the only conclusions I can come up with.

Not sure what you should do about it. Maybe give it another week and if you can grab them then do it. Right now it doesn't seem like they are ripe.

 

[indifferent]

Until you posted that some top buds had been clipped off, I was thinking it was the perlite rising to the surface.

I reckon someone has definitely found your plants. If it was the farmer, then why did he not pull them out of the ground? Maybe you have a pot smoking farmer (or his son!)

If someone has found them, time to cut your losses, go cut the plants down now, while you still can. Even if not fully ripe, you can make hash or oil from them, wait longer and you may well end up with nothing.

I would suspect there is another grower at work in this field, and not surprising they use top dressing ferts, a lot of people grow cannabis using stuff from the local garden centre.

 

[bagseeds]

You said you planted these plants and did not come back for them? A person found them and checked for foot prints for months. He seen no signs of anyone being there. He took over your grow and it now his for you left and did not care about it to even check on them.

This is his grow now so you should stay away. LOL Just kidding.

This whole thread got me saying hmmm? Something does not add up?

How come you do not know how many plants you have? 7 or 8?

It might be poisen from the farmer.

In a corn rows it would not be hard to look for any kind of foot prints right?

If your going to dig them use burlap bags until you get them home.

I would not leave anything at the plot. But if you must leave somthing. Just lay a few 30.6 shells at the base of your plants. But if you did this and it was the land owner who found them you just opened a whole new can of worms.

So what are you going to do?

It's people like you who give cannabis growers a bad name.

 

[Lazyman]

They won't transplant this late in the game, the shock would probably kill them anyway. Either chop em now, or roll the dice and see if they're still there in a couple weeks. Or do half and half, but either way I like the "Smile you're on camera" thing.

 

[Guerilla Family]

only thing im worried about is the nasty taste they are gonna have after these fools put just any kind of top feeds on them. These are landrace Nepalese plants.. Ive decided to take these down today. I will take a pic in the field. GOnna make some nice Nepalese Charas (handrub) Hash! Im Stoked! FUck that farmer, its time to get me mine!
