Have you thought of diatomaceous earth (DE) or copper tape surrounding your seedlings to deter the slugs?

I was just going to say @Azimuth, what about putting down a ring of salt? I have yet to meet a slug that will voluntarily cross a ring of NaCl.
Wood ashes too, I think.
Reading through the updates and getting caught up like this Stung! They are looking lovely.She's looking scrumdiddlelyumptios!!! Healthy trichomes everywhere. Some strong genetics holding it down against the elements and late season climate. WINNER!!!
Some seeds harvested so far from the Malawi/Ethiopian x Mulanje
I look forward to making some seeds in the future. Especially some as pretty as those! Damn man! Congrats.

Thanks Otter, I really wanted them and I'm glad the pollination worked.
Thanks Azi, copper tape is something I will look for next time I'm at the garden shop. Previously I have scattered snail&slug pellets around the tiles that the pots are sitting on, which has worked well too with dead slugs the next morning.
Cheers Jon, I have heard of people using that but, hmmm.. salt I am not sure about a salt boost to the soil, any rain would wash it away if on the tiles, and if placed on the soil rain would dissolve it into the soil.
Thanks BA. Successfully achieving seeds on this grow was a big aim of mine, so I am super pleased to have got them. Plus, aside from giving a punchy long lasting high, they have demonstrated great resilience against the pests and weather over their 20 weeks of flowering so far.

Hi Stunger
O.M.G! You really grow quite the adventure! I envy your own personal seed bank! You got seeds for dayzzzzzz!
Your glitter shots are quite simply next level!
I’m not exactly sure how I missed such a fab journal, but hopefully I can sit and watch quietly in the back, and when I say sit and watch quietly in the back, I mean dance on tables up the front while accidentally knocking drinks and billy’s over…
Lollling
Really great journal tho bruv. Super informative and well put together. Two things I’ve never been accused of

Yeah I was thinking on the tiles around the pots, but yes, forgot it's not covered from rain.

No worries DV8 it was probably the wind!
That's OK Jon, it is great to get suggestions and they all add to the supportive fabric that is our 420 community.

Update - Chop day for the 2 remaining Sativas - final bud & trichome pics of the Malawi/Ethiopian x Mulanje
Greetings 420 enthusiasts! It has been fine weather today and I had been thinking of chopping the plants this coming weekend. But on close inspection I felt today would be the day.
The Honduras/Panama x Purple Honduras has already been mostly harvested so on her there was not a lot remaining and what was appeared to be at the point of 'readiness' now.
Of the Malawi/Ethiopian x Mulanje, she was also showing the signs where some little bits of bud were beginning to age, and I didn't feel that further flowering would be of benefit, so she was chopped too.
Last balcony pic before the plants were chopped
Final bud & trichome pics of the Malawi/Ethiopian x Mulanje
This plant has always been very 'crystally' closeup. I still don't understand just where the potency is stored in the buds, we all talk about and love the trichomes, but some plants don't display a lot of them but still pack a similar punch.
The surviving Mulanje seedling
I haven't been doing anything for this other than a small watering around the rim today. I'll let her go as long as she is ok.
Thanks for dropping by, keep well, and please keep up the good work in your gardens because mine is now over!

Oh I feel so happy to read this mate, i feel very much like Ive been in this canoe paddling for months. And now you're here!
Those final shots look great Stunger, a great day for a chop.
Those up close macros are delicious, they just got great and stayed that way for weeks.
Happy trim and dry mate, go fill those jars.
Great journal mate, loved it.
