I had a couple clones of a cultivar my wife and I like. One went into the flower tent and one went into a 7 gal pot on the deck.

Bushy tailed wood rats live on the fringes of yards and love our plant, lost more gorilla grows to them then anything else over the years...

Maybe I've been lucky. But I'm sure the dogs on the property help keep em away. The cats too.

Here's my half assed attempt with what i had laying around here. Was a good trial run so i think I'll go get a 4x8 sheet and make it more permanent. It actually works well so far. Yesterday water temps were down around 74. Since i put them outside there have been nothing but full sun days and upper 80s, so I'm thinking it might work even in August.

Thank you very much for documenting this grow as I have thought about doing outdoor dwc myself. I was contemplating digging a 10' deep hole and burying an old wort chiller and hooking it up to a sump pump on a solar panel so I could send it 80-90F nute water and it come back somewhere in the high 70's. If that process isn't necessary that would make outdoor dwc MUCH more easy than I was thinking. Do you run fungicide in your nutes or are you running hydroguard?

I had similar thoughts and just figured I'd wing it and see what happened. I run hydrogaurd and have good results most of the time. Water temps are down to 72 today. I up potted them 4 days ago and here's what the roots look like tonight.

Your roots look perfect Streetpro09! I tried and failed at setting up an outdoor RDWC 4 bucket site system last spring as I couldn't get the uniseal rubber grommets from leaking on regular/round 5 gallon buckets but I know for sure they would work on square buckets like you are running or the nice square 8 gals I am running inside. Another thing I would say to look out for is to make sure your exterior buckets have holes punched in them and they can drain unimpeded a few inches down from where the bottom of your net pot is on the inside of your buckets that way if it rains heavy for days on end like it does here in OK you don't end up drowning or badly damaging your root ball.

I was just thinking today that if this works out, next year its on for outdoor. I'll have an in ground rdwc but probably more than 4.
Good call on drilling drain holes in the buckets. Truth be told, i run my water levels pretty high to begin with.
Before i started growing i read to keep water levels .5" below net pots. Well when i did this the roots in that space would turn brown and develop root rot. So i raise the water level just over where the roots start to come outta the pot and no more problems. I do make sure to not run it too high cause the stem can start to rot if you're not careful.

Wood rats chew the main stem and fall your plants like a beaver falls a tree then drag the whole plant away, the "stump" is your best clue... One season they sawed down over 20 plants, it was war lol

Disagree - my regular garden I found one of the bastards just sitting on his ass plucking tomato leaves one by one and stuffing them in his face. Hope it was a good last meal...
I set up a 3' wire mesh fence, and it has kept them out of the garden. Not sure I'd trust a weed plant to that.

I recon they have many eating habits lucky me they always sawed them like cordwood, I used to have chickens many years ago until grizzly started keying in on them,after eating them all I rarely went in the old coup one day I opened the door and the bushy tailed wood rat had separated aluminum foil, card board, leaves, fruit etc. and put each item in a separate laying box they are collectors
