When do I plant the seedlings in the ground?

They're about 2" tall in small pots right now. I think I need to wait until they get at east 6" since we have a ton of rabbits in our neighborhood. I'm afraid they'll eat the plants if they're small.

Wire fencing is the only answer to rabbits.

Rabbits can’t stand the smell of blood meal. It’s a high nitrogen fertilizer. When it gets wet it kinda stinks. We use it in all our gardens to control the bunnies. Cats could be a problem also, if you have ferals running around…citrus peels keeps them away, again they hate the smell.

Cannabis plants are a lot like tomato and pepper plants, you can plant the seedlings up to the first set of true leaves the stem will pop out roots…that’s good for stabilizing the plant against the wind. 6 inches sounds like a good place to start.
