Hey mate it looks like you've been hit by snails/slugs or a small rodent like a rabbit or something. Id go all out and get some chicken wire and put it around your plants to stop animals getting in and eating you plants. Put some snail/slug bait around aswell just incase. Your plants also looks a bit hungry (Yelllow leaves) so id start feeding them lightly. Youl want something higher in Nitrogen for veg.

might have been a rabbit or something as its made its way up the stem, the bug i stomped looked like a spider mite if they are in aus. and i've got nothing to feed them but water unless u have any ideas of stuff i could use from home

The spider mites are very very tiny mate. Can you get to any stores? Youl need some form of nutrients.

pretty fucking pissed off that my plants were helplessly mauled by some rabbits, they have eaten 5 sets of nodes on 2 of the plants and nibbled on the runt. will be sorting out a fence shortly to hopefully stop them. will this in any way effect my plants? its hard to see in the photos but new sets of leaves are developing where the others were eaten. thanks

well some would call it defoliation and would consider it a benefit, but it will likely just be a bit slower until they re-grow what they lost
no worries, they will be just fine, but do get the fence up as they will return for more.....Mister Wabbit, before you die, you can have one wast wish!

I would cut off damaged leaves and let the new top growth flourish and that plant that has its left side taken down id trim those stems with no leaf on it and maube tie it down so you can focus on the growth that needs the sun?

okay cool i'll keep u guys updated on how it turns out, stupid wabbits.
yeah i've faced the side that got eaten into the sun so it gets a lot more sunlight compared to the other side which isnt as bad

No I was gunna say maybe the other way get to the frow with the fan leaves because if you end up with all those shoots taking off you can end up with all those shoots basically turning into their own new plants, I wouldnt bother about the attacked growth, just my own advice follow it or not its tour plant g

just note seasol (white bottle) isnt a fertiliser its a root tonic and has no npk so you really need to also add something containing these, in kogislifes case crap (literally). seasol also make a product containing npk it called powerfeed (green bottle). it ok in veg but not great for flower not enough k
bunnings is a good place to start. do a bit of reseach on npk values and fert types. slow release can cause more problems then it solves. its your first grow so i'd suggest K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid), dont get over your head you may regret it in the end.

i wasn't criticising, everyone has something that works for them.
i said seasol (white bottle) is a root tonic not a fert. didnt say it wouldnt help.
seasol (white bottle) has no npk seasols powerfeed (green bottle) has npk.
i use seasol (white bottle) in my grow as well, you just need to make sure you also use something to give the plant its npk either organic matter (horse, cow, chook crap etc., or a commercial organic fert) or synthetic garden ferts.
half my plants at the moment only receive organic ferts and started with a heap of organic matter. dyna grow organic vegetable fert, seasol, nitrosol liquid plant food, and soil made from cow/chook crap, dolomite lime and some blood and bone.
the other half are just in a decient but cheap potting mix from bunnings and get synthetic ferts. yates aquasol ($7 a packet from bunnings) in veg and thrive flower and veg ($9 from bunnings) in flower. watered with seasol after each transplant.
my first grow i used nothing but seasol and wondered why my plant turned yellow (nitrogen def). was informed about seasol having no npk so i added the aquasol and after a week, boom one healthy plant again.
