Hey Midwest, looks like you're on a good track but have you considered Neem Meal? its good for repelling pests just like how crab meal is great at repelling pests due to the chitin Neem meal is a natural pesticide, safe, and provides some macro/micro nutrients

I have actually. I planned on grabbing some for a top dress in a few weeks as money is relatively tight. Thankfully I've had 0 problems with pests as of now though. I was considering grabbing a mint plant or two to stick in my tent to help with pests as well.

yea companion plants are also great, I grow lavender next to my babies. you can also directly mix neem into the soil before cooking.

i should look into this, i have gnats flying all over my house now.!
They work great even if you're not using them specifically for a grow room. My grandparents house and yard is loaded with different bug repellent plants. And you don't ever see any insects in their house.
