Hey guys,

So my husband and I have come to a conclusion that we smoke a LOT of pot for 2 ppl, and so we are looking into growing our own instead :D

For now, I am just “window shopping” and taking notes.. I happen to be watching a video on YT when the influencer mentioned “spider mites” and other little bugs..
-shudders-

Do any of you have any “bug / pest repellents” recommendation for indoor grown? I saw some people using some kind of yellow sticky tape around their pots, should I look into just using that bug tape everywhere?

**keep in mind we haven’t bought any tools or equipment yet** (but we do plan on buying one of those fancy indoor grow tents that could comfortably fit 3 maybe 4 plants).

Thanks for the read, and thanks for the suggestions/info

Welcome to the farm! Those yellow sticky things are for fungus gnats. Everyone gets them at some point or another because they hatch from larva in soil. They're fairly easy to get rid of tho. Spider mites on the other hand, are a totoly different animal. Theres stuff out there that will kill them, but they are a bitch.. They are evil, they are... the borg!!

Well that sucks.

Is there a way to see / notice them before? Or are they naked to the eye until too late sort of thing?

Not really a day to day per say, but once a week I toss a little plant armor and superthrive in with my feed. Never had mold, powdery mildew or the like. Heres a few things I use as a preventative

They're pretty microscopic, you'll notice spots/leaf damage, and if they've already got a foothold you'll see some webbing
