Bug Repellants?

[sednal]

hey guys i was wondering if any of you could help me out by telling me what would be a good multi-purpose bug spray i could use on my plant. I just have one big mother plant thats bushed out this year for security reason and everytime i chek her out more leaves are chewed up, no bugs are on the plant, except a spider here and there. i use liquid fense for deer but i didn't even spray it on the plant, just around it. I live in PA if that helps. Weve got hit with rain bad and shes real soaked and a few lower leaves are starting wilt and turn yellow.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I've used sm90 last outdoor and this year and I'm happy with it. Its both a bug repellant and prevents mold plus its 100% organic.

Try neem oil. You can buy it online or from most garden stores. It is 100% natural.

sorry to tell you folks but...if you dont know what pest it is, it is hard to repell it. Different solutions for different bugs. Some solutions work for mulitple bugs, and some bugs are killed by multiples solutions (damn thats confusing ). Without the bug, or a picture of the damage, it is really hard to tell you what you need to solve your problem.

How many leaves are you talking about also? How many feet is she?

Insects are a fact of life outdoors. The good news is, the vast majority are not considered pests to Cannabis plants. At worst, they will eat a little leaf material that the plant will easily replace.

The idea of using a repellent is great for humans, but not for plants. At worst, the repellent may kill the plant, at best, it only lasts a few hours.

The same applies to an insecticide. You can kill any bugs that happen to be present, but there are billions more ready to replace the. Unless your applying insecticide on an agricultural scale, it is no effective.

From your description, leaves partially eaten, I would suggest either slugs or grasshoppers are doing the damage. Slugs can threaten very young plants, but are not a serious pest to mature plants.

Grasshoppers also eat leaf material. The amount of damage they do is minor in normal numbers, but if the numbers swell to plague proportions, they will eat everything in site.

In either case, insecticide laced baits are effective controls for Slugs or 'hoppers.

I favor the live and let live approach. In particular, let the Spiders survive, they are your best defence when it comes to actual pests like Spider Mites or White Flys. I am thrilled when I find a guard Spider, all is well with the plants.

Ingnorance is bliss...

not sure what u mean by that!??

Just feel that anything living in the room is bound for problems! Just kill em all and dont worry about anything living in there!

 

[kokua]

in a room, yes you are right. I thought we were talking about outdoors. Outside it is a totally different game. We are on the same page...we just didn't know it lol

 

[UNREGISTRD]

AHH forgot we were on the outdoor topic myself! yea guess u cant kill em all outdoors huh!!

 

[CanaKultivator]

are there any pest repellants that work well for just grasshoppers? I got tons of them in my garden and they're starting to eat my leaves I havn't seen any other harmful bugs

I don't have many bugs problems but at some places I do get a lot of larvas on my plants. What I do is collecting some old fire ash and put that around my garden/plants. Also if you can, try to use plain water foliars everyday to get rid of the webs.

Best of luck.

what works really good are human feces, just wipe them all over your body, and even on your face, the bugs wont bother you.
