Organic insect repellants: Cantharis, Ganja-Guru

[FoodDude206]

i realize this is a total noob question, but when you say just rinse them before you dry them, won't some of the trichomes come off?

or can i just spray everywhere but the buds :/ ?

A tobacco with a very high nicotine content works well.

I've always heard a mix of beer, tobacco, and a small amount of human urine does the trick.
Just best to make sure it's a good beer, most American beers contain formaldehyde. German beers or good American beers are the way to go. As for tobacco...cigarette tobacco has all sorts of additives and is best left alone. A good organic pipe tobacco or home-grown is generally the best way to go. There's some mountain strains of tobacco with very high nicotine contents that are very hardy and very easy to grow. And if you can't find human urine you're not looking hard enough.

You´re joking - I want to get plastered not pickled.

That would be totally forbidden in Europe.

Yeah, the german's are onto something with their beer purity laws...not a list of what can't be in beer, which can be a mile long and still not have everything bad on it, but a list of only the things allowed in it.

That's also why I brew my own beer and wine.

I'm looking for a kind of solid answer on this

Will either of these recipes work as a detterant for slugs?

Slugs, for me, are a deadly problem for seedlings. So i put chemical repellant around my plants if they're started in the woods. The problem is that they come out afyter rains, and the heavy rains wash out the repellant so you'd need to go back after each big rain and add more. Beer in hald cans burried in soil also works but same problem with repellant (washed out with rain).
If you're going all guerilla, you can also (what I did with success) place the solo cups in a crate which is tied on a sturdy elevated bush. Slugs don't climb up trees (they didn't here anyway lol). When they're 1 foot tall with a stronger stem, slugs for me never bothered my mj. Oldpork recommends to circle your plants at all times with copper rings as he caught some slugs climbing up some mature plants.

Good luck.

the ganja guru recipe has to be boiled for ten minutes like the other recipe? and does it have to be applied when still warm or cold

[pomangro]

I made a sort of tea with garlic, clove, black pepper, a drop of oil and a drop of soap.
I am very nervous to spray this on my 3 plants that are infested with spider mites.
Can anyone give me a little reassurance and tell me if this is okay to spray with?
The plants are about 2 weeks into flower.
Any help is greatly appreciated

[fawohodie]

if some of the rescipe is not used can it be put into the the fridge to be used like 3 days after?

great guide catharis and ganja guru! i was noticing some small holes in my leaves latley and caught a couple pests in the act, i am going to make both of these recipies either today or tomaro, thanks again!

okay 3 people asked if this soapy/garlic mixture was gonna affect the way your bud tastes and no has said anything... so the answer is yes?

[kerenski]

well, i'd say as with anything u use on ur plants: it depends how long before harvest u do it, if ya don't flush at the end u'll most likely taste ur ferts too... so...
