If this is indoor, you need to get your house in order..
No excuses for bugs in the home place

Mentioned this in another of your threads, but nothing from your current outdoor grow (including clippings) should have anything to do with your indoor set up. You will bring the pests inside.

Outdoor is self-regulating for the most part. Get to many plant eaters in one location and a something bigger comes along and eats them all. Ladybugs and praying mantises are everywhere in my yard naturally and I augment them when the garden shops have them for sale.
I really only have to fight just 2 things.
Powdery Mildew.
This one is easy enough as simple high PH water will keep them clean of it. 1 tablespoon of Baking Soda to 1 gallon of water. Drench spray once a week start to finish.
Caterpillars.
These are your worst nightmare left unchecked and will trash the buds and make them unfit for any use. They crap all through it and every dot of shit starts a mold factory besides the physical damage of buds cut free of the plant and sun-dried spots all over them.
Starting Aug 1st (Flower begins) spray BT Thuricide once a week every week right up to the week of Harvest. Do not miss even 1 week. Run a 15-watt bug zapper nearby to limit the moths that are the source of your nightmare. I use 1 tablespoon per gallon of Bonide.
Buy a separate sprayer for each thing you spray and mark them as such, and you'll never have to wonder what was last used in it.

You are not going to keep the bugs off any more the any other plant, The object is to minimize them. They are going to eat some of your herb and it's almost impossible to keep them off. That's the tradeoff. Growing outside is like growing in their living room.
I make bubble hash out of almost all my weed. You can wash hash as much as you want to clean it up. This works well for me because I don't smoke. COPD.
There is very little crud in the water, nothing like the pictures I see posted. That comes from keeping my bud clean while growing. Maybe I'm just lucky or maybe I've just learned how. I've never had mold and very little bud rot.
Lmao I need a good soil that I can transplant my tall plant from from FFOF intoREAL
