I saw this this morning on a sunflower. They were getting munched when younger then I started using the bait but they're back. Need to add another cup of bait. I pulled off a big ass snail on another one this morning. Destructive bastards. I understand they're edible so there's that...So you reckon it probably is slugs then? They ate everything, no trace of leaf left behind at all. I'm gonna try the copper wire and some sort of slug/snail repellent on the other one out there before they find it. thanks for the advice
I wondered what sort of bug problems I'd come across outside, this is the first of many I imagine
If there is meat and potatoes then there is no need to eat slugs and snails.I saw this this morning on a sunflower.

Good under carriage, looks like a bamboo forest. lol
Ye I like to leave the fading leaves and let the plant use them up.The dying leaves are being sucked in by the plant, certain amounts of nutrients are stored for flowering in the lower fan leaves, take a look at any wild flower and you'll see what I mean.
I thought the forest might be to acidic but so far so good.Organic forest grown, got to double it's value at the Pharmacy. lol
I don’t hide anything like that from my mum. She quit our lifestyle many moons ago late seventies early eighties I think.Lol @chemistry that would be quite a talking point, I can imagine trying to explain what it is to my mum when she comes round. Nuh I keep it in with the plants usually.
so here's my plants today, putting on some weight now.
I'm liking the peat, it's seems its pretty hard to over water it's draining a lot better than other soils I've used. I've been giving more water now and the plants seem to be lapping it up
I don't use calmag lol must be the only one who dont, I'm in hard water area though, there's enough cal n mag in the water already I think, never had any problems with cal or mag before.
I'm gonna buy some bottled water I think, I can get big bottles that have ph of 6.5.
Might repot with a lot more soil aswel, ive noticed the less soil the quicker soils ph changes and gets messed up. The smaller the pot you use the more you need to keep an eye on ph right?
3months and all I have is two little bushes, mum was huge in this same time. This little grow has been a learning curve.
Could it be that some plants when revegged just never really get back what they were?
My one attempt at super cropping was a male. The badass just shrugged it off and started growing normal again. Stem was shattered into four but he was reaching for the stars within an houryeah but it looks like the supercropping he did, did its job. Except it looks like it's been lstd rather than supercropped?!
Another point is to supercropping is to make the plant produce more hormones to strengthen its branches. You can supercrop without bending. I supercrop my main stem starting from bottom top twisting it one way then the other. I do it to the branches too but first the stalk at the very bottom with no growth below.
@London bud you can try it out I attached a link. If you skip ahead to 2:20 or so you can see what I mean.
I use organic apple cider from TescoP
That's a really kind offer, you don't even know me and you would do that. I appreciate the offer it is really nice of you. I don't know how much it would cost but I couldn't have you putting yourself out for me, thank you though.
I'm struggling to keep a float at the moment but things will pick up in a few weeks.
For now I'll have to do the best I can.
Do you think the lemon juice is ok to ph down for the cuttings? not sure if they've rooted or not
