Will these survive

My cat eats seedlings too. Cost me a dear baby Buddha's Sister once and I was so salt.
I got a cat. Better not of been her Haha. It's all good tho I putt a jug over it. Like one the mini greenhouses and got 10 more mystery seeds from nirvana on the way. Those are always bad condition so I'm going to top the one I have now and make a clone out of it. Hope it all works out. Losing 6 plants was shitty especially to a first time grower noob like me when the seasons already almost over and don't have time to order more

i grow outdoors and recently checked on them and something has ate the leaves off the right on the top on all them except one. Will they survive. I was hoping since plants grow leaves then they'd just grow back, roots and stems are fine. If you can tell me the science on why they won't survive that would be nice too. I'm going to wait it out see what happens but if there's science behind it I won't waste time
lol bro, that plant is beyond fucked.

You would be surprised. We actually put food plots out for deer in cow pastures. We fench the food plot off to keep the cows out. A deer can hop a six foot fench from a stand still. They are more active at night.

There are a few houses near me and we have deer.

Not saying that you are wrong. Just saying that suburbs, fenching, and sometimes deterrents don't stop deer.
I dealt with deer at several large properties I maintained. If they're hungry there's nothing they won't eat.
Only an 8ft fence will keep them out. Ive tried coyote urine, soap, motion detectors and hose end squirters,
even tried bribing them with money...they laughed at me and ate the money....psyche.
If a seedling loses it's apical meristem (the area where the cell division takes place) it won't grow. A new meristem will not regenerate. Its compost.

Did you ever find anyway to keep them away? Besides the fence

I'm not sure an eight footer will stop them. I've personally seen deer jump a six foot fench from a stand still.

I went to a deer farm one time and their fenches were like fifteen foot tall.

If they want it, they might be able to jump a eight foot fench.

Deer jumps high fence. And makes it!:
Deer jumping 7 foot fence:

They can jump higher than what you think.

dam that's some pretty dexterous deer...I watched a buck one time not able to leap the fence bc it was on a slope so it continually threw itself against the chain link until the fence came apart. nice set of antlers it had too

When it comes time for them to shed their antlers its easy to get them.

Build a L shape fench. Doesn't have to be big. 3ft x 3ft. Dump corn out in the inside corner. When they come to eat they get their antlers hung and come off.

Mice and rodents will actually eat their shed antlers and you won't see them.

That's funny. I would like to have watched that.

Not sure what you mean by put a jug over her, but make sure she still has good airflow or you'll learn about death from damping off.

There's breathing holes in it. It's just a big clear apple juice jug that I cut the bottom out that I put over her. She's been like that for like a week still growing strong I'll post a pic I took of her minutes ago. Only thing I'm worried about is how her stem is going to be weak. I'm going to have to tie her up I'm just so worried about anything else getting to her. Still need to pick up moth balls but every other day I go pee around her on top of having the the jug on her. But will be topping in a week or so and btw the soil in this pic isn't all that, after I transplant her to the ground I'm getting ff ocean soil and have soil tabs and root extender coming from nirvana which is basically nutes specifically for cannabis so after that I'm expecting her to boost up. But don't worry I'm going to be doing all those things giving her days to recover before I do the next
