@Grey_man_2074, Lots of growers who use organic soils are fervently anti-flush saying it does no good. If *I* was using a organic soil in a small pot that had very, very good drainage (lots of Perlite, or similar), I would flush. If the soil is quite thick and in a big pot, I would not as I would worry about root-rot. I'm in two minds about flushing within two weeks of pencilled in harvest. I used to like harvesting the plant when pot was dry, so the plant had less water in it and dried faster. Now, I like to slow-dry, so I don't mind if their pot has some water left in it, although drying takes a day or two longer (small potatoes in the grand scheme of things). Thinking about Autumn, when the plants are in the wild and flowering, it is generally a bit soggier than Summer, so I think cannabis plants are used to wet conditions when they near their end.

@ShaggyGrower, hi I think they're nearly done, have I missed the boat to flush or as it's organic soil and feed do I bother? Tks

@Grey_man_2074,that bit of inside egg-shell, the soft bit, make sure that is off and only hard shell remains, or they crawl over the easier soft bit rather than get put off by the sharp bits. Good luck!

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I had neglected the tomatoes, watering less etc as they are only subterfuge, it looks like they actually got the correct amount of tlc and my over involved care for the weed has, as you suggest, not been great for them. Definitely trying this next year with all my new knowledge with basil, dill, egg shells and 1/2 strength feed and less watering and not trying too hard . Tks

@ShaggyGrower, I'll max out the eggshells, Tks

@Grey_man_2074 Hi there! You may have overwatered your plants, but they're also showing other symptoms, I think you overfed and gave too much nutrients in the past weeks. Now, about your slugs&snails attacks, the best way to ensure they won't be a problem is to secure your plant with a physical barrier, I've managed to build some great protections with plastic bottles (on babies), or in late stages with tarpaulin around stakes. Otherwise you can catch them by creating simple traps, they're attracted by orange rinds, milk and beer, so you just have to fill a yogurt pot with beer and wait for them to drown themselves into beer paradise. I'll be around, keep us up-to-date, and happy growing! :facepunch:
