I too live in la. an I tried in outside and all I got was no bud. from critters( squirrels Rabbits) I do in side only.
If i had a green house i control it better, but just outside no.

Here a quick story I had white widow going out side it was 1 week away from harvest.
This squirrel male big guy, he had a taste for weed. So I went out to check things out.
I get to ww and on the ground was this squirrel just laying there not moving I look at my ww and the top 2/3 of main cola was gone. The damn thing was fubar stoned all it could do was blink. It was the the funnest thing to see this little thing stoned out of mind. I wrap it up in a old towel an put him by has tree, an 4-5 hrs later he was gone.
So in conclusion grow inside


welcome to AFN
Wandering_Bull and have fun.
