Slugs

slugs and snails are eating the leaves and buds of plants. Although not the most common cannabis pest, slugs and snails are unwelcome visitors when they do show up!

Sure signs of snail or slug damage include a trail of shinny slime on leaves, and new holes have "scalloped" edges where the unwelcome guest has been taking bites out of your leaves! Since they eat chunks out of your leaves, the holes they leaves can sometimes be confused with caterpillar damage. One difference is snails or slugs leave "scalloped" edges since the pests take bites one at a time. although the small bites these annoying pests attack leaves AND buds, and they can do a surprising amount of damage in a short time, so you want to watch out for them and get rid of them quickly!
