Shooeyanswered grow question 4 years ago Hi mate. Bugs.... mmmm.. they are sent to test you for sure. Not sure about a pre treatment, rather you need to take action when you see something. Some strains will genetically be better at resisting pests than others, so do some research for your area. In the meantime, companion plants. Basil, mint, sage and garlic cloves are effective in drawing insects away or confusing their senses. Also predatory insects can keep the lil bad ones in check. Good luck for the season mate 👍🏽🍻
