I went to check on my stash today and saw my leaves totally fucked. on 3 out of my 5 plants I would say 50% of the leaves are destroyed becuase of slugs. This is my first time growing outdoors bymyself and I use Bug b gon slug killer. Do you guys think that these three plants are gonna die and is there nothing I can do?

Click to expand...

give them a drink and put the slug pellets out..
as to being fine they should be i have had them recover from being striped by locusts before.
they are quite a hardy little weed..

I think my problem was I didnt check on the plants for 3 weeks and its kinda been a rainy summer. so the slugs went to town, but i just checked on them today and there was mad flies because of all the dead slugs, now i used salt and slug killer as a barrier, and coiled the stalk of the plants w/copper wire, however they did look better than what they were
