  1. anyone know if its possible to make a solution to keep bugs away
     
  2. i use a spray bottle with soap and water mixture, very diluted, fort tomatoes though, dont know about using with MJ wait for other replies
     
  3. chili or pepper powder mixed with water in a spray bottle spray around and on the plant and like the poster above me said take a few shavings from a bar of soap and and mix it with hot water and put in a spray bottle and put a thin layer on the leaves this will keep those fuckers away but the pepper spray really has been working for animals for me as long as i spray a good amount around the plant after it rains
     
  4. Does salty water help...?
     
  5. no, you want to avoid putting any salts into your plants soil. it will cause nutrient lockup.

    anyways, i made a chili and garlic spray that i used on my plants. it killed every bug in sight.
    heres the recipe:

    2 cloves of garlic
    2 hot peppers (i used cayenne)
    half blender of water

    blend this mixture and store it, calling it the "concentrate"

    when using the mix, use 1/4 gallon concentrate per 3/4 gallon of water
    you really can use any combination of concentrate to water, but if you dont want to keep remaking it you can dilute it.
     
  6. Does this work for the damn slugs and ants too?
