Hi all weed fans

I have got 20 cuttings outside that are in flower. I haven't got pics yet but I have slug damage for sure with holes all over the leaves. I have used Neem Repel and it seems that some leaves are still getting damaged. I thought this stuff wa meant to stop this. Has anyone got any other cures that they can pass on

Cheers all

i have used slug pelletts like you wouldn't believe. After every watering I add a few more pelletts, the plants were in amongst bramble bushes. Could the slugs be crawling over the bramble leaves to my overlapping mj leaves. They shoudn't be getting worse. Or maybe it could be me thining the worse. Will the leaves repair themselves now that they are in flower or is it mest to pull out leaves that are more than 50% damaged!!! After all this the knowing my luck the frost will get them 1st

A small amount of beer left in the bottom of the can placed around low tolerance for alcohol?

they are in pots so i can still do the salt round the base of the plants? I take it not too much salt is needed? and if it rains I should go back and put another fence round it?

Forgot to mention the egg shells will not dissolve in the rain and will not interfere with the plants in any way or form could say its organic slug repelant, a nice thick ring around the plants will stop the slugs as it is to sharp for them to cross. hopes this helps
