Neem seems to be the go to for anything these days. Wish I had some for my thrips before I fucked my shit up with dish soap. lol.

Never used Neem before but I see it everywhere now. But there's always a vet who chimes in and says it affects the taste and smell. So with that said, there are foliar sprays that have Sulphur in them. The plant uses sulfur in it's natural processes, so state labs aren't allowed to test for it. I can't suggest a brand yet because I have to look into them. But that's the direction I would go since Sulphur isn't foreign to the plant, and neem oil is.

edit: the direction I AM going. I'm looking into it. Organics specifically.

Get some captain jacks dead bug brew. It is made with spinosad, a natural bacteria. It will kill anything that feeds on the plant and will not hurt beneficial insects. Smells better than neem too

I use spinoasad sprays (captain Jack's specifically).. its organic, and is good for all kinds of bugs, without being harmful to most beneficial insects.

LOL you're so cool
If not paying $28 for 2 ounces of sulfur makes me cool then so be it. I can buy 4 pounds of sulfur plant fungicide that's approved for organic gardening for under $20 that will do the same thing. I'm not paying the ridiculous markup the cannabis specific market is charging for products that have been used for decades. I don't need a shiny package and fancy name like Silver Bullet. It's just sulfur.

Bud, I said in the post before that I can't recommend a brand lol I specifically want to find one marketed as a pesticide. Which is VERY common now that I've searched. But like you said, it can be homemade. I was just showing him a video man. Never heard any price or anything. Juust wanted him to see a regulated dispensary using it in practice rather than nasty ass Neem Oil

and the "cool" part was because you acted like you're "too cool" to watch videos of large scale grows that are always different and NOT infomercials. Seeing as every grow uses different stuff. Unlike Growing Exposed who only showcase facilities who run their nutes.
