Any help with natural ways to keep bugs away I’m not having problems now but the hot humid temps are on their way and usually bring bugs
Go on the offense. Take it to them before they get a hold of your plant. Spinosad, rotated with neem oil, and healthy fertile soil. Diatomaceous earth helps but rain is a PIA and have to reapply. That's all I can think of naturally. Stop the neem in flower. Others like sulfur. I hate getting it on me.

Biocontrol !
The key is to prevent and never have a high population, so spray/drench the biocontrol/biofungicide on a schedule way before you have the issue and assume pests will always be outside
so if something is just , and if not cheaper and can even repel the bugs ( the biocontrols repel 100+ soft bodied and never hurt bees)
‘if it was me (product wise, than spray based on your prevention preference like spider mites are 3 days (if no mites attacking yet just do 7-15 days)
Grandevo:

That’s not true I can do my whole veggie garden and cannabis and never worry of my penny. It’s saved mygrow and vs per gal ratio of even pesticide you mentioned it’s cheaper and that’s the synthetic crap version and unregulated .
the Grandevo and venerate are cheap (stuff is concentrated and long 3+ year shelf life vs 1 year life competition brands ) compared to Pyrethrum based ( brand like pyganic 5.0, and that product for a pint for $150 bucks) the con (for pyrethrum ) all ingredients with it is just like spinosad it’s limited on cycle spraying , your not allowed to spray it beyond 3-4 week of flower ( you can spray up to harvest on all of bio control. That’s the pro) another con towards prythrum is they have shown many pest do gain resistant towards it, you can’t from biocontrol. It’s all about IPM, I’m not saying you can’t use other products but if you use biocontrol as your main products and the main only product for flower based for safety , it will work and keep everything clean.
