BTI mosquitoe dunks work great for knats
My go-to for PM is H2O2 1:4 dilution. Works at all stages.
I do try to give them a foliar spray with lacto a few times during veg to increase their resistance.
I was getting into beekeeping and lemon grass will attract queen bees.
Hydrogen peroxide is great. We used it for soil drench too. Seeds to germinate. Good stuff. Great remedies for outdoor growers and indoor.
Marigolds attract beneficial insects.
They’re supposed to deter deer from your garden. We have deer and elk. They nibble on the leaves
I only get out to my garden to see my babies every four days once they are planted up in their big girl pots so I have to have Mother keeping her eyes on them. Thank goodness for benficial bugs and microbes!
Why every four days?
Because 3 is too soon, and 5 is too long?
Dogs are a great deterrent for critters lol I got 4 neighbors carried snake out of her chicken coop 5 times they marked head with dot to see if same snake coming back I smiled and said I got no critters I got hunting dogs lol I don’t worry bout any.
That’s when I water. I live farther than I can walk from them so have to get rides to and fro. I have to ask friends and family to take time from their lives so I try not to be too demanding of them.
Yes, that as well.
I get it. You could get some wicking pots. They hold gallon and half of water.
My dog is sooo old. He can barely walk. He’s getting to where he’s afraid to go outside at night. Can’t see!
Be careful man…its messed me up a couple times
The rides to water aren’t an issue. My fam knows what my herb means to me, both the use and the groeing so they don’t mind helping with that. 4 days seems to be the perfect interval anyways. I could very easily be a helicopter grower though, worrying about every little thing if I has closer access to them so its probably for the best.
I recognize that routine from growing in the park ![]()

I believe you, it can be overpowering, us “more seasoned” growers need to be a little extra careful… Calling 911 from the grow room is NOT on my bucket list
Nor mine ![]()

The wicking pots could be a help. Vivosun Wicking Systems is cheap. You should look at it.
