'11 Outdoor with Re Veg an Friends

Well so iv never had a plant i put into the ground just stop growing before. I saw a damn snail on it and before i could get it, it buried itself in the ground. So its eating the roots or the leaf hoppers are just eating to much which is keeping my plant from getting sun. the PIC IS ABOVE, BUT I ENLARGED IT fuck, im not re typing that. I might try garlic and soap, but if the damn snail is eating my roots then this is no good.shit

Heres the plant, any help would be great, im thinking about moving it, im pissed:rasta:

Are the other plants just handling the bugs better, or are they even under attack?

Well outside there is usually the munch here an there, but if kept in good shape and the bigger they are the less they attract. But this is an all out buffet on this important plant. I have mixed some garlic an water with a bit of soap and now im adding ammonia in it. From my goggle the snails don't like any of these, but most of all the ammonia. Its sunny as hell but i cant do it any other time, so put this crap on or dig it up? Which iv learned not to do this in the sun as it will just burn up the plant. I cant make up my own mind i guess, either isn't a good plan. Id like to just put a shit load of ammonia down around the plant. Copper will work for snails too, but i don't have any?

Not sure what im going to do, but gotta save this one its my last bean of this strain and first really living plant iv had from them, funny thing is their breed for outside.

...I hear that diatomaceous earth (possibly available at your local gardening superstore) is kinda like them crawling across broken glass, and they just basically die from their wounds. It is safe for the plants, and for you :)

If you do get the diatomaceous earth, make sure it's food grade, not the crap for pools.

Then you can be sure it's safe for everyone:thumbsup:

Diatomaceous Earth As Natural Pest Control:
One of the more popular uses of DE is as a natural form of pest control. Because of the many tiny sharp edges on each specimen of DE, when it comes in contact with insects DE absorbs the waxy coating that covers the insect, causing a laceration of the exposed tissue. This is aggravated by the insects writhing. The insect dies from dehydration, usually within a few hours.

It may help with the lil ones, but I don't think it's gonna stand a chance against Mr. Snail.

looks like one of my plants what can u do....? the joys of growing outside.... but no seriuosly what can ya do i got slug reppellants. i just need to get sum soapy spray...

Diamataious earth rapidly loses effectivness in humid conditions. Since you are still far from flower use the commercial stuff (ie Scotts) from a garden shop. Use a lot of it and destroy every snail within 20 ft of her. Repeat two weeks later. You should only need to do this once. Will not hurt your plants.

She must be tasty...
If she's that important, I'd either use some pesticide for the vicinity. One that's guranteed to work, or take a couple of clones before it's too late, or pop her out and revive her indoors. At the very least, I'd definately quit with the garage remedies and go with what works. Careful with bringing bugs indoors too.

Yeah also sand paper will work too. But its under ground i think is where the damn snail is getting the new root growth, only because its not growing as iv seen them grow before. It will be two weeks Sunday and the new growth looks weak. The stem is the only thing that has really grown bigger, so its got to be 2 issues. Snail and leafhopper's i believe. But once the plant gets bad the bugs see it as an easy target and attack it more so. This was according to the goggle info i got, but knew this from growing last year outside, but confirmed my theory:thumbsup:

Thanks man for stopping in:hippy:

Well i put a mix of garlic, soap and a couple caps of ammonia on and around the plant. I about pucked man, the shit smelled so bad i was gagging before i could get out of the area. But if this doesnt help i might look into the DE.

Thanks Irydyum:jointsmile:

Well its something i may look into, because the spot is a good one and don't want to lose this hole. Its that its surrounded by tall grass is the reason. My other spots were cleaned out in April, but needed to put this plant in a place i knew would reap all the sun as possible. The mix i put out was really nasty and the ammonia is something that could get rid of the snail also read it can give N, but that is debatable.

Thanks for the help man:hippy:

Thanks so much for the help guys:thumbsup:great advise from everyone as everything mentioned i had read about, but wasn't sure which to use. But i appreciate all the replies to this issue. Its a really an important plant.
