What's the Best Pest Protection Spray?

[constantine_greece]

Hey guys! Im an outdoor grower and i wanted to ask you. What's the best product i can use to spray my plants to protect them from pests? Thanks!

Natural Guard Spinosad Soap in the quart sprayer. I don't go in the garden without it.
Don't use on flowers that bees pollinate. I use a 2'x2' piece of cardboard as a spray shield.

Depends on what I'm growing, and what stage it is in. Generally I tend to use Garden Safe brand Neem Oil Extract Concentrate for most things except plants in flower.

For plants in flower I like AgroMagen GrowSafe Bio-Pesticide. Works WONDERS in ANY stage of growth. Will destroy even the most devastating infestations of spider mites with 1 or 2 sprays.




The only downside is it is a little pricey. But it works!

Keep in mind if you're going to use Neem for preventative measures, make sure you spray just before or directly after sunset. Sunlight/light in general will cause the Neem to burn your plants if it is still wet when light hits it. You need to allow time for the neem to dry before light hits it.

Also try diatomaceous earth sprinkled around the base of your plant. Apply after watering, wet DE does no good.

Good luck, partner and welcome to the Farm!

I’ve been using purecrop1 recently and I absolutely love it. You can spray it late into flower if you need to but it’s an all around insecticide fungicide and biostimulant. I mix power si with purecrop1 and I’ve had great results so far. The power si helps ward off pests and pathogens a lot as well

Try this. It’s way cheaper & works on whiteflies
Purecrop 1 is useless and overpriced.

How do pests usually get introduced to the tent?

it's definitely not useless and has way different active ingredients than that but sure that will also work just not as well imo. I have seen purecrop work on pests on mildew and the fact that you can mix it with sulfur is huge with a lot of people that like sulfur but can't mix it with oil based sprays

most common ways are usually a dirty plant that was brought from outside or just by chance on you, your clothes, or the wind

Neem oil seems to work as well for things like Fungas Knats
