Bugz.............

Bugs are eating the shit out of my backyard plants. And it's getting worse by the day. What spray do you recommend?

Hank.

I have red that giving neem oil to your plants every month or so keeps the bugs away

Neem oil. How do apply this? Is it spray form?

Hank.

Yeah, right. I've been spraying the living SHIT outta mine with neem and it works MAYBE for a day. I got some tobacco to try a nicotine spray with. There's also something called Wilder's Hot Pepper Wax, but I haven't bothered to find a vendor.

Anything with pyrethrin should also work, and I believe it qualifies as organic (pyrethrin comes from chrysanthemums). There's other stuff, try Googling organic pest control. Then there are fabrics that allow light through, but they have to be fitted snugly over the plants so bugs can't get in (physical barrier, who'da thunk?). I can't do that since I'm LSTing mine, gotta get to 'em at least twice a week right now.

I think i'll just sit with my plants 24/7 and when a bug lands on a leaf i'll just flick it off Time to put up the tent and break out the grill

Neem oil,insecticidal soap. You can make your own soap by letting a bar of ivory soap sit in water until it softens and place in a spray bottle with more water. KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

squeeze the soft soap into a bottle and more water?just want to clear that up and say thanks for the tip.and yes,keep smoke alive.!!

Yessir! Keep Smoke Alive!!

Soap on plants doesn't set well with me.

Hank.

Especially soap on buds.

Hank.

You don't spray it on buds ,you spray the larger leaves,plus by the time you flush and harvest the soap breaks down. KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

This i will try sooner or later Thanks IGTHY. +Rep

It's an old and commonly practiced method of pest control. Doesn't work with all pests, but it does work. Plus, it washes right off.

That is a very good site, but it's a little generalized. For instance, hot sauce may be very salty (there's a thread showing some messed up seedlings and the guy used hot sauce). Also, the milky spore, how can it know to kill the right grubs?

It did not mention nicotine spray (that's what I've got steeping tonight, I'm gonna kill those little fuckers!). This MUST be used with extreme care and caution, though. In other words, do your research and don't let it soak into your skin or get into any waterways. Also, know that it'll kills pretty indiscriminately.
