Hello, friend. Here are some quick tips for cannabis pest control: 1. Spray Bottle- You can clean your plants by spraying them gently with water. Make sure to get the undersides of the leaves too, as this is where many pests like to hang out. 2. Contamination- Make sure to wash your hands and use gloves before tending to your plants. Wear clean clothes and avoid going in nature before going near your plant. Make sure to keep furry pets away, etc etc. you get the idea. 3. Air Flow- Simply having a fan or two constantly pushing air over and around your plants can make it harder for things like gnats and flies to maneuver in your garden. 4. Organic Substances- As you already know you can use things like neem oil to control garden pest. But make sure you are also applying it around the base of each plant as well as spraying the plant itself. 5. Trimming Make sure to trim heavily effected and rotten leaves and remove them from your garden as to prevent spreading of said problem. Side Note: (IMPORTANT) When it comes to pest control the best coarse of action is directly based on the specific pest or disease effecting your plant. Pay attention to specific details about your problem and research what it could be before taking any critical action. Anyways best of luck with your grow!!

That is a spider and he was there eating bugs, not your plants. That's how it goes sometimes though. If you are going to kill the bad bugs you have to kill the good bugs too.

@Psyjet Poor old mr arachnid was probably doing you a major solid by eating bugs around ya plant and ya killed it DOH!! There are some really informative pages online which will show images of the most prominant pests to weed I reckon you should study them as not all bugs and insects are bad

Youngsmoke is Definitely right when it comes to targeted pest control. In order to properly fight, you must identify. Although there are commons ones for sure.. It's important to find out what it is, you could have a weird off bug. You could drench your plant in some all round product but this is never a guarantee and can really cause more harm then good in the long term. The targeted approach is almost always the best approach.

Next time you find a spider, leave it. It will eat any pests it finds in your garden. They're very beneficial
