snails?

[jopimop]

i have seen many snails in my growing area just wondering how much if any are they gonna effect my girls and what i can do about them if they are

do they have shells? cause if they don't they are slugs. You don't want them on your plants but a ring of copper around the base of your plant can help keep them off.

I saw one in under one of my pots in the woods today and flung the dude into the woods with a stick pretty damn far! but yea these damn snails...
1. why is it that they are attracted to the plants?
2. what do they do that hurts the plants?
3. what is the effect on the plants?

slugs*****

the slime trails the leave behind suffocate the plant, I'm pretty sure that the eat your plants as well.
I just know they wont touch copper and that they like beer and if you leave a dish of beer out they drown in it.

Sand works too, I used that also. It sticks to their bodies.

Generally, slugs and snails won't eat(munched leaves) Cannabis.

Sometimes, late in budding they will eat the dying(yellowing) sun leaves.

BUT, if they are eating green leaves, they have nothing else available, that they like better.

I use "Deadline" liquid snail killer. A line around the plants will kill every snail that crosses it.

veggie gardener ive used deadline for many yeard it attracts so many but it does kill them.but all the dying slugs attract flies.ive gone with copper and have no probs anymore.give it a try. not knockind you deadline works but i hate all the dead slugs its a slug bait/killer. i dont like it anymore. try the copper with a plant or two and see what you think.

I have too many plants to use copper.

I kill thousands of snails annually, in my yard. Too many hiding places.

i wasnt talking about all your plants just the mj plants. believe me i have a garden like you wouldnt believe i wish i could show you some of my pics on my facebook account. ive got a perrenial garden like you wouldnt believe. also peppers,tomatoes.onions,many herbs. i am a gardener through and through. as im sure you are. but its the mj i worry the most about. in my garden i leave pots filled with beer around and they like to go drown themselves in that. it works but as far as deadline weve got to much here to spread it around. if you think im lying ill take more photos i have alot on facebook but then they get earased mostly from my camera. peace.

dude it takes less than a minute to put a ring of copper wire around the base of your plant.
