Hello @Ironlungs ! Natural pirethrins from chrysanthemum . For mites 1 % coriander oil, 79 % canola oil and 20 % terpenes ( the cannabis profile terpenes that i use to make vape cartridges ) . For caterpillars bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki. All these are organic. Happy growing ! ๐Ÿ‘Š

Azamax spray will kill an infestation, but it's a battle. I personally HAVE NOT USED this produduct but have seen gardens that use it. I "prevent" with mixture of water, ProTek, neem oil, sns209, I spray my plants fully drench my soil in it every 20is days from the start, up to 30ish days before harvest. But, I grow indoors not out, so I have less bugs to deal with Also, ONLY SPRAY NEEM OIL AT DARK, , it will burn the heck out of your plant. Best of luck battling the super outdoor bugs

I use Diatomaceous earth! Best stuff ever. Safe for your plants. Will not kill your healthy microbes and gets rid of all the nasties within a week tops! Also use fly paper and glue traps. I really try to be as natural as possible

Hi @Ironlungs! Spinosad products are know to be the most effective organic pest killers, but I would try Neem Oil first. ๐Ÿ‘Š

Id go nuclear on them since you are in veg. Pick up some abamectin solution on eBay, they sell an ounce for like 12 bucks. And then Iโ€™d mix that with some suspend sc or some other general pesticide. Spray that once and youโ€™ll never worry about them again. No bullshitting around with holistic solutions hoping theyโ€™ll work. Granted this is my opinion and of course people will tell you itโ€™s lazy to use pesticides. I simply choose the option that works 100% of the time.

1st of all what bug are we targeting??? It would be helpful to now. If we're vaguely talking about all bugs. Probly spinosad.. But you don't wanna use that to many times. You also don't wanna spray it on your flowers that's for sure. A mixture of rubbing alcohol and water works well for a lot of bugs but you need to get a direct hit......

Hi @ Ironlungs. As it is outdoors and still in vewgetative Period you got more Options. A) Using Nicotine.... one cigarette in 1/2-! l. Water let it stand for a day then put it in a sprayer and spray it (under) the leaves.B)The same you can do with a miyxture of one teaspoon neemoil and dishwasher-soap into 1 l water and spraying. Corianderoiland dishwashing soap into water and spray on D) plant a few companion plants under your plant Basil, Calendula, Geranium etc. even tomatos do it. So you have any options i know it depends what kind of bugs you have. if they are sitting on your plant and eat it its best to spray on it(plantlice etc. Bigger ones go away if you use companion plants that are stinking

Cant you just go get a few containers of lady bugs and set them underneath the plant so they'll crawl up into it? I've also heard that diamataceous earth is a very good, but safe method for a variety of insects. I believe spinosad is bad for the bee's and several others can be bad too, if that's at all a concern? ๐Ÿ˜Š But I've tried, spinosad, neem oil, spray bottle with part vinegar/water. All have some benefits and fall backs.

Neem Oil Insecticide The Neem Tree has a natural defense system in the form of oil that makes it difficult for insects to survive. It is a hormone disrupter that keeps insect predators away. Neem Tree oil is safe for everything except insects and is also a power fungicide. Use Neem oil insecticide to drive away and prevent insects, as well as fight powdery mildew and other fungal infections. Neem oil insecticide is available at most garden stores. You can also create your own mixture by combining 1 tsp of liquid soap with 2 tsp of neem oil in 1 quart of water
