a repost I got from ilgm/robert bergman
Pests can be a real problem for us marijuana growers. Whether it’s mammals, insects, pets, other types of pests or diseases, they better not mess with our Mary Jane. So I thought I’d share with you some ways I keep pests away.
Are you aware of the damage that can be done on your plants?
Cinnamon oil and tea
Because of cinnamon’s "heat" it works pretty well in keeping many diseases and bugs away. Use cinnamon oil (mixed with water) to create a spray, or make a cinnamon tea. You can also sprinkle ground cinnamon for protection near the roots and base of the plants. This will help keep away:
● Powdery mildew
● Ants
● Aphids
● Fungus gnats
● Spider mites
● Thrips
● Whiteflies
Learn about all our solutions against pests, bugs and mammals
Clove oil
Many organisms hate the smell of cloves; some even die if they touch it. This works naturally as a repellant against a bunch of little buggers, including:
● Pythium
● Gray mold
● Fusarium
● Ants
● Caterpillars
● Thrips
● Aphids
● Spider mites
Read more about this solution in my guide
Coriander oil
You can buy something with coriander oil in it, or you can make a spray yourself. Coriander can keep away:
● Pythium
● Gray mold
● Fusarium
● Powdery mildew
● Aphids
● Thrips
● Spider mites
● Whiteflies

Garlic
Garlic does more than keep away vampires — it also works wonders in preventing diseases! If you didn’t already know, eating garlic has a positive effect on human immune systems as well because it is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. The same applies to our dear marijuana plants.
Other natural pest repellents
There are a variety of other natural ways to keep the bugs at bay, all of which are used similarly to the above substances. These repellents include:
● Grapefruit seed extract
● Horticultural oil
● Limonene
● Neem oil
● Sesame oil

i always have some marigolds and corriander in my veg patch keeps the bugs at bay. never had spider mites indoor or out, touch wood i don't know if they like it on the wrong side of the world LolHydrogen Peroxide as a Pesticide
Although food-grade hydrogen peroxide has been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a plant-safe pesticide since 1998, the only pests it's registered for are disease-causing fungi and bacteria. Insects and mites aren't covered. Nevertheless, it's an environmentally safe product and, when diluted in water to a concentration of 5 percent or less, is harmless to people and animals.
The Spray
No official research has been done to establish hydrogen peroxide's effectiveness against spider mites. The Central Vancouver Island Orchid Society, however, claims that a 5-percent solution is lethal to most insects and insect eggs. The major exceptions are hard-shelled armored scales, and even they eventually die after repeated spraying.
Step 1
Dress in protective clothing and gear, including a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, socks, boots, a hat, chemicalproof gloves, safety goggles and a respiratory mask, before you handle the extremely corrosive, food-grade, 35-percent hydrogen peroxide. That hydrogen peroxide formula is available at hydroponics stores.
Step 2
Measure 5/8 cup of the hydrogen peroxide. Pour it into a 1-liter spray bottle.
Step 3
Add 4 teaspoons of 70-percent isopropyl rubbing alcohol to the spray bottle.
Step 4
Add four drops of liquid, ammonia-free dish soap to the spray bottle. It will help the solution stick to plants.
Step 5
Fill the remainder of the spray bottle with water. The hydrogen peroxide in the spray bottle is now diluted to 5 percent, and the bottle's solution should be safe to handle without protection.
Application on the Mites
Spray spider mite-affected plants with the spray bottle's solution until it covers the plants completely, including the backs of leaves, where spider mites often feed. When the hydrogen peroxide in the solution hits the plant's surface, it will "fizz," the way it does when poured into an open wound. The fizz is a reaction to the enzyme catalase found in spider mites and their eggs. Catalase breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Repeat the application as needed until the spider mite infestation subsides.
