Outdoor first guerrilla grow/ second outdoor

[dr_rob_auto]

Hey took a quick detour on my way to work to check on them I think they are loving their new homes. I think the slugs are loving having them as well. Some of them have took a proper munching so need to get this sorted in next two days I'll get copper tape and try the egg shells, being a chef there's plenty available. All of them are still alive n growing including the one that has had its stem chewed. Its kinda slumped but still putting on new growth. I can spot little lady hairs on two of them n hoping once I manage my slug issues the rest won't be far behind. Lucky u winter in shorts n T-shirt. Any idea what's up with the little one in 2nd last picture?

Lookin good man, I'm not to sure whats wrong with that second last one sorry, maybe post in the infirmary section. yeah slug those slugs

Yeah I don't know maybe iv put it too out the way. Its a small clear patch but didn't wanna stick them all right in the middle. I picked up 8m of copper tape so gonna figure out how to make a ring to put over my darlings. N got some baked egg shells try that aswell. Will post pictures later on

Good one dr. I reckon get a layer of mulch on it. Dont put the mulch right against the stem though leave a bit of bare soil around the base. If you really want to get stuck into organic principles, Sub up to Eyes on Fires threads . "100% organic grow" (85 pages of reading there lol). Sub onto his new one "Guy Smiley Organics (Fully organic Soil/AACT building)", he's just started that one. He is my organics "guru" on here.

Hey folks thought I'd give you a quick update I took my last on site visit for a few weeks and got the mulch down, cut back a lot of foliage around my babies and generally checked them out. Okay so bad news something obviously caught a sniff of something tasty in my soil mix as I arrived on site to find one of the most progressed plants lying on its side with the soil nicely dug out. Least to say I was not impressed. I replanted it and hopefully it will be okay. The plant that was mostly eaten my slugs is still there but barely. And also the one that had its stem snapped/chewed is still alive just very horizontally. I guess if its still growing and attempt for me to help may hinder it so iv let it be. On a happier note all but 2(thankfully 1 is the slug buffet plant) have shown sex and are growing quite fast now and putting out lots of fuzzy hairs. I added down some more egg shells so hopefully next time I go back il have some nicely flowering plants. Do you think 4/11 is too high to hope for to survive? Anyway here's some pics let me know how you think they're doing. And hopefully this Scottish sun will turn up eventually.

[dr_rob_auto]

Yeah its looking like the shortest summer we have had here for a while last year my ones in the garden done pretty well. I'm just hoping summers kind of delayed so fingers crossed for the hot dry late July/august. To be honest I put probably £100-£150 into it and from my man that only gets me just over 10g of primo weed so if I get a couple of ounce il be happy hope for a small amount and if I get more its a bonus.
