Thanks Paulo, niceeven, Rocket High, and Pietje Puck
Things are rolling along nicely, got a few poking out of their chicken wire tubes now.
Some plants seem to have natural slug resistance, where their stems don't get climbed or eaten. My clone of that Wizard's Sleeve is a good example.
I will take more clones of that soon enough.
Very valuable trait, that is.
edit : I've got another Wizards Sleeve seedling out there this year and that's also doing very well with no slug damage - maybe no coincidence
The last wave of plants are putting out their first leaves....

Cheers guys
It's getting amusing now, some of my plants are looking happy.
The copper works well overall, I'm pleased to say
But ..... If you're trying to germinate in pipe it's not so easy.
It works much better with seedlings at about 15-30cm height which can just fit through with a bit of help, and let the stem support the pipe without pushing/twisting into soil.
2 fatalities where slugs seem to have got to plants tips by another route.
Yes the departure from the uk site was offensive.
I sometimes throw stones.
It's a twatty greenhouse after all.
"Ditch the dealer" was the motto, hypocrisy rules there.
Pity they don't stay there!

Good to hear someones OD grow in the UK has turned out well so far, a few of us are having issues mostly with the weather(rain)/temps not allowing the roots to to take up nutes leaving them small for this time of year. But i'll have some bud come the end July from the looks of some of the early Pheno's
Any pics Nun ?

I would not advise as germination method.
Not sure how any slug could get passed you sure was slug attack and not another cause of death. Perhaps they got on each other shoulders. Or if wet some was low enough that stretched up to it. I have had some croak it from stem rot this year which could look like slug.
Yer dont think its to hard to get the boot from that site if you don't toe the line. Its annoys me when threads just get reedited but understand why they do what they do as keep the place nice and clean. I use another site and that really went down hill due to trolls bad mouthing etc.
Things are coming along ok my end but has been bit slow and few little setbacks but nothing to worry about yet.
Safe and sound

Yeh I understand; most of mine are still very small and going slowly....
For every one which is growing nicely now, I've had 10 others ...
I reckon the weather's been great for growing but no sign of any flowers anywhere yet in my grow....
Here's one I really like.
No digging, 2 litres grow bag soil in the bottom of a chicken wire tube, planted as tiny seedling.
Protected from gastropods with drink can rosette. Sometimes these work, sometimes they don't.
Last year I got a similar one planted with little prep, which just shot up, while the others languished. That was a different strain.
EF, some of my wire tubes aren't wide enough. So the plant is no longer safe when its leaves touch the sides, as snails adorn the wire in the wet. Slugs too......but it's the little snails which really seem to be the first to eat the tips of seedlings and strip leaves.
I put some pellets down and saw a mass execution, these are the numbers I'm up against :
Puts me off using pellets, it's like a beach of shells building up around the tube....
Over winter I'll recycle all my old thin tubes from the front line into larger ones and see what the success rate with copper pipe is then...
Got a couple of CheeseLeb which are freaky but vigorous. One is really dark with a lot of stretch going on, the other has even numbers of leaflets, the leaves are slightly offset from a central stem point. Looks good at the moment.
They are planted about 5cm apart, (each has a copper sleeve) in a really wide tube.
If one or both is female I think that'll be the highlight of this year's grow....
There are a couple of CheeseLeb F2 I bred last year which look pretty good too :
Could be large plants, I think....

Hey nun!
Sorry I haven't been around...
you were thinking right, mate...
- original Lebanese cheese was exodus cheese cut dusted with leb27 males
- ''Leb#27 female x Cheese dom male'' is the selection used in making the Lebanese cheese f1's.
you have the F1's I made
hope you're doing well. Plants are looking good!

WAM, this is just confusing me again. 
Now you seem to be saying that you planted Cheese seeds to find a father plant. Which breeder's Cheese was that?
my favourite strain, growing it for the 3rd season, and I'm still not 100% sure which strains were actually used as the parents. Please confirm! 
I thought you said in PM that you used a single Lebanese#27 male plant for pollen, with the Exodus Cheese cut as a mother, in damp conditions, bit of mould as the seeds developed....- ''Leb#27 female x Cheese dom male'' is the selection used in making the Lebanese cheese f1's.

This is CheeseLeb x AHP looking happy and putting out some 13-blade leaves
Will it be female ? - no sign yet.....
the roots must be nicely down into the ground beneath the small swamp tube....there's only about 2L of compost in the tube and now there's another 25cm seedling one coming up in there too so I cut some some space for that.
For me this is perfect size of plant - should end up big but not a monster and there's a replacement there already if it's male.....

Great thread. Must keep it going.
