i think my sprout got eaten

until i plant em in bigger pots and put a cage aroudn them is there any way i can protect em
they are in 16oz party cups right now
i was thinkin maybe cut out the bottom of another cup and put it upside down on the cup so it still gets sun but no birds could get in it.
would that work?

Can you make a chicken wire box that will fit over it to allow sun in and keep critters out?

not right now not where they are at. soon i will be able to
but not yet
i was wonderin if i could put an upside down cup on top with top cut off so it still gets sun

If it's Deer, good luck. They have a bad sense of smell and aren't particularly concerned by hair or urine or any stank of a human. If you get some bamboo and build a fence around it (by growing it, or just staking it in the ground) that'll keep away everything but birds.

im tellin you.
where it is.
it HAS to be birds

well, you're not keep them away and be able to get a sufficient amount of sunlight.

Put up a bird feeder several feet away from your plants, they go to that then.

starting sprouts outside will take wayyyy longer then using indoor lights where u can put really for 18/6...

your plant will be really skinny and will barely grow..sprouts can use up to 24 hours of light until its ready 2 flower

Build mini greenhouses out of bamboo stakes and cling film,use a pin to make some air holes in your temporary tent and just use a single sheet of film on the top so you can remove it easily for watering and just replace it when your done

You can even do this for big outdoor plants if you need to

the part about deer having bad sense of smell is incorrect. doesnt really matter that much. i just wanted to put that out there.

saran wrap over that cup while its small. that way it acts like a lil greenhouse.
