Hole in the clouds Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 @Stigofthedank Will do. I’ve trimmed wearing a head torch also as a second QA inspection before going into tent. It can’t carry on raining…. can it? Hopefully second half August be good they reckon. Got a couple of auto amnesia should be well into flower round then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hole in the clouds Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Went to check on the lower half of the Kushty I’d left to mature before any more rain came. Was pitch black by now it’s only the second time I’ve been to this plot after dark. Why I want to be crawling round in the middle of nowhere late on a Friday night instead of being in bed with the Mrs I don’t know but seem to enjoy it in some weird way. So the Kushty was chunking up nicely just a tiny bit of mould so I cut half that branch off and took a bit of it home after cutting off the mould so was a short visit. No point in slug pellets with the rain due. Had a quick look round with torch they all flowering now I think apart from the Fast Zkittles. Was surprised how much weight the Royal Mazar are packing on since last visit I’m so glad I’ve got some of these out, awesome plants. The two MAFF seemed huge in the dark. So all done time to pack the bag roll a J and head off out I’d already decided to take the easy exit. So I’m there with the head torch on in the trees going through my bag when next thing I hear a growl! I froze and told myself it was my stomach at first…. No it was definitely a growl! My heads going million miles an hour now….hmmm foxes are like dogs aren’t they? Ok….. must be a fox. Had visions of being stalked by a pack of the buggers @Revive style. To be honest I’m not sure if id of worked it out if it wasn’t for his diary this year. It’s a new experience for me being growled at by a fox in the dark! Quick google when I got into semi civilisation yep fox, sign of aggression! Thank fuck for that! Lower half of the Kushty that’s left is doing well. Chunking up nicely. This MAFF next to her seemed huge in the torchlight. Edited August 5, 2023 by Hole in the clouds Formatting 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im glad to hear you made it back safely..we are all pretty used to foxes these days and they generally run away when they see us, there's loads on my estate and they don't hang about when seen around the streets..BUT... in there environment when its dark and they feel threatened over there cubs and are in packs they can be a whole diff animal..id hate to get bitten by 1 but at the wrong time these fukers can go into attack mode and when you cant see shit its not a nice feeling man. Glad you got the fuk out of there brother 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hole in the clouds Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 @Revive Not nice feeling at all! Obviously it was feeling threatened by me. Miles from civilisation so not used to humans. I was definitely in its territory! Same family as wolves apparently! Let’s hope the nutters that released all those otters don’t get they hands on wolves and start releasing them back into the wild! A few weeks ago was passing some farmland in the dark and as I emerged out of some shrubbery I came face to face with an alpaca in the torchlight it just stood there staring at me chewing it didn’t move. Scared the absolute shit out me thought my heart was going to explode! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stepped out of this bush into a field looked up to get my bearings and its dopey face was just there staring at me. It didn’t spook or do anything was it was just stood there staring straight into the torchlight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there were careful reintroductions of otters due to their decline and some natural repopulation due to improvements in habitat etc the so called environmentalists/otter groups took it upon themselves to help it along illegally and irresponsibly for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hole in the clouds Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 @Stigofthedank Thats the only thing that gets to me when out at night is the thought of wild cats possibly being out there. I’m not sure there are despite all the supposed sightings. I guess it’s one of those things unless you see it with your own eyes. Fished the ponds at Longleat a bit years ago and in the dead of night you would sometimes hear the lions it’s quite an experience knowing they are there and hopefully haven’t escaped! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is Didn’t know that. Would be even weirder to be sneaking round in the dark on a Friday night collecting shit instead of being in bed with the Mrs though wouldn’t it surely? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
