Using Marigolds to deter bugs

Magic43562started grow question 5 years ago

Has anyone here used marigolds to deter bugs? I’ve germinated about 50 marigolds with my girls so they can all grow together(separate pots for the marigolds) are the marigolds worth the extra work?

Yes! Not only do they deter pests! They also deter moles/voles/and even gophers!!! They are also a natural pH adjuster for your soil! Clover is also a great choice! Happy growing!

Bug control info needed for outdoors Could you please suggest some safe bug killer powders or solutions for Cannabis plants growing outdoors. I have not found the bugs that are making little round holes in the leaves. No aphids or spider mites visible. I live on east coast of Canada, if that information is helpful.

Aphid problem!So I just ran into a few aphids, there isn’t very many, but I need an “all natural remedy” (no chemicals) for aphids. I’m hoping something strong enough to destroy most or all of them! HELP! I want to “nip it in the bud”, before it gets worst! Thanks!

Pests Spider mites? Aphids? What would be causing these bites? Is it too late to continue using neem oil since they’re already starting to flower? Should I use BT spray instead? Thanks.

Pest/bug identification - small brown bug Can anyone help identify these bugs? They move slow but they can jump also several inches. I’ve seen a few outdoors and they usually have some white cotton like stuff hanging from their butt. Really appreciate it!
