How to get rid of insects? Bringing outdoor plant inside (1 Gallon)

OneGalOnlystarted grow question 4 years ago

Any suggestions on what I should do to prevent bringing pests to the grow tent next week? I saw online people dunk their containers in water for 10-15 minutes. Or spray NEEM oil... But I would like to make sure I do not bring as much insects as possible. I refuse to use chemicals

Neem oil is organic and I use it as do many growers. Or just try an insecticidal soap spray on them. You can try the sticky fly traps for gnats. Ladybugs are natural pest predators. And some people just hang things like Hot Shot Pest strips in their tent if there's a pest issue. It's really all up to you and your situation! Happy growing!

Have you tried reasoning with them? Maybe offering an orange or something for them to snack on thats more tasty that greens? From my understanding, there are more mited that all the grains of sand on all the worlds beaches. We shoukd leatn to coexist, no? But seriously, pyrethin works wonders. Dont spray within 2 weeks of harvest

late stage bugs outdoor Day70. White fly and eggs (pict.2) removed all infected leaves. Harvest, avoid more problems and midrange weed, or wait and hope it doesnt go worse? does she have any chance to recover? I wont mind either way as we're speaking less than 2,5g...

Dodgy grub?I think these guys are living in my soil. I'm assuming they eat vegetable matter. So are they bad? Is there a way to get rid of them or just start again with new soil?

I'm worried about spraying on my flowers though. Can it hurt them? Just coming in and looking be

Thrip control?So I have a small case of thrips. At first I was thinking the white bite marks in the leaves was some sort of deficiency until I saw one of the little buggers! Luckily it doesn't look bad so I'm just going to Finnish the run. Are there any mid flower treatments? Thanks

I found 2 fungus gnats on one of my sticky traps. Is a couple of them a major cause for concern? I can't see any moving around. Both of the pots in the tent are currently closer to on the dry side. Should I take any preventative measures?
