I've already lost 1 crop to aphids and spider mites, and now I'm starting a secod yeild. What can I do to stop insects from infesting my crop? Are there any insecticides that won't kill me if I smoke the pot that I grow?

In my war on mites I found stuff called SM90. It works great at controlling mites and it's made from oranges, totally non-toxic and plants love it. However it hasn't eliminated them, gotta re-spray every week. I recently heard of this other stuff, I can't remember the name, that will eliminate them if sprayed every other day for 2 months without missing a day. Before I try that I'm gonna spray SM90 every other day for a couple of months and see if it works.

How about aphids, those are more of a problem than the spider mites. All the plants around my plants have holes in their leaves, and aphids on the underside.

Sorry man, never had the aphid problem so I can't help you there...

a couple of weeks ago, i saw two little bugs on one of my sprouts and then another. These bugs have a tiny black body and wings. I havent seen any more since, but i was just checking to see if any one knows what im talking about..and if they are a problem.
Thanx

insects are always a problem
their job is to eat your plant
planting garlic seems to work best for me
in the garden bugs hate garlic
they wont touch it or usally go near it
it keeps mice away too.

Do you think that spraying a mixture of garlic and water would thwart off insects?

Did you do a search here? I know there are at least 2 other receipes for home-made bug spray that should work for ya

I guess I'll post my favorite here...

Tobacco Tea

Get a pouch of chewing tobacco (big slimy nasty leaves) and a gallon jug. Fill the jug with hot water. Empty the contents of the pouch into the jug.

After a few minutes of being swished around in the jug, the water will have turned blackish. Strain the water from the tobacco and spray the tea on your plants very thickly. This wont "eliminate" much but it will stop them from eating your plants.

Cigars and cigarettes dont have juicy leaves like pouch tobacco, I wouldn't recommend using anything but pouch tobacco.
