My 2 1/2 week old girl had some black spotting on her older leaves which i thought was a deficiency when i first noticed it..but with further examination i found a small bug crawling in her soil Does growing garlic and keeping it near my plant really work as a natural pesticide? If so are there any other similar remedies besides garlic.. I don't want my closet smelling like garlic. thanks in advance for any tips,advice,comments,wisdom etc
Never heard of the garlic, but unless you have vampire bugs I wouldn't waste my time. Pick up some neem oil, that'll take care of your bugs. Btw it's been my experience that indoor bugs aren't much of a problem. For prevention a great home remedy is: 1 gal water 1 tsp isopropyl alcohol 1 tsp karrow syrup or 1 gal water 10 drops dish washing liquid I wouldn't reccomend using ANY pesticide or foliar spray once you've entered flowering. No ones wants to smoke bug killer.
You can use garlic in a spray by boiling it down and mixing with a little dish soap but not just garlic by itself. You can use it on flowering plants too.
