I've pulled off some of the worst . The bits looked black and were damp a bit like mould

And she has settled in like a bug in a rugShiva has a bed of her own too ?
I found some horrible black stuff on some of the leaves on the greenhouse ones . I will keep them outside-out now .
Best idea imo, they don’t need greenhouse anymore- more breeze to kill off mould conditions and strengthen the stems.
Looking good mate , can’t wait to see them flowering
1st night out-out for Gaia and the non Gorilla seed girl . It appears the air has done them good .
As this is a Gorilla grow , only pics of Gorilla will I show .
this is Gaia this morning. Probably thirsty. I will check with the magic finger . Oooh I'm gonna finger Gaia lol

Here are pics of the rest of the girls.
Here are 3 all in a row .
Here is Bonsai.
This is Shiva.
Here is Olympia.
Just a couple more of them . Some of them need 3 pics to get all the plant in , so I'll just select a few and post them .

, who has come to see what I am doing Couple days back I gave the girls their 1st feed . I think maybe next time I will wait until later in the evening. Or I should just feed the soil and avoid giving the girls a shower .
As it appears Bonsai has had a bad reaction to the feed and she seems to have some burns
. She is in recovery and is strong enough to make it .
Yesterday I was tinkering around , a little bit of training with Olympia. Tied the runner beans back and basically tidied them up .
Olympia is doing well and coping with these sessions quite nicely. She is making good progress.
I'm going to post more pics later . Got busy to
firstly tho .

firstly tho .As I thought. She was drier that the Gobi desert. Now she has a few issues to deal with and I don't like her new friend who was! Hanging around her .
I've had a good look at them and removed a fair bit of blackened leaves . I was unsure about putting the bare copper against the plant . So I have been avoiding using copper. Although I do have some of that sticky backed cooper slug repeller . Any how here is the trimmed girls .
This pic is where the weakness was . There were 2 branches which were looking like this. They may of been strong enough, however I've cut them and trimmed in hope I can root them . They are quite small so we will see if they make it or not.
Bonsai has just had those two heads removed and a quick re-tie . Whereas Gaia has had the most leaf removal .

I've had something similar during very wet humid years with little airflow, just figured it was stem rot, did the same, just cut the sections off. It's a pain dealing with that, seems like everything tries to kill our beloved plants... hope that's all you'll have to deal with!
Yeah let's hope . Those slugs can't even leave the scene of the crime without leaving any evidence. Maybe their parents should teach them how to clean up after themselves. Leaving all that slime on my girls leaves. I mean come on ... Use a Kleenex or something
Olympia has spread out nicely. She must be somewhere around 4ft sq area . Maybe tomorrow I will measure and find out .
If so maybe either where the tap for the sap or the eggs that she lay? Either way I
maybe bug spray ... I also tried to catch a pic . It was a small black fly and an ant .I shall leave the ant as I am sure that the ant will enjoy the blackfly eggs.
Destroy antView attachment 18856738 found this on Gaia today . Anyone know what this is and could it be a possible cause for this

!!! They farm blackfly and greenfly… the ant puts a fly on a leaf, then because the blackfly reproduce without a male they quickly fill the leaf with babies (which can make babies themselves after 3 days) As the flies feed on your plant, they produce a sticky liquid which the ants collect and eat.
Ant powder is very handy.
I'm on it like a car bonnet. Thanks for the heads up ... Search and destroyDestroy ant

Today I spent a lot of time mostly in the front garden, making it dog safer . I have about an hour and half or so converting the gravel containment area into a bed for bonsai and need to fill it and get her in it before she can cope no more. . . She is all root ball . No soil so I've decided too late in the process or not . She is being re-bedded .
That's tomorrow's job now now as more soil will be needed.
Also I will get Gaia in somewhere deeper too .
So pic #1 is before shovelling the gravel and holding back the slab that is forming the front wall .
Pic#2 is the new area with some soil in .
Where Bonsai is sitting, is where I am putting her . The bed I'm making is or moreso will be somewhere around (52.5*52.5*52.5) cm cubed . 144703.125
Which is roughly 144 ltrs of soil . This is where I have left it for tonight.
I gave her some needed water sat her in her bucket in situ temp .
Goodnight my girls. We'll continue from where left off , tomorrow Bonsai.
