If you must know, I was surfing all morning, followed by lunch with some friends. Then we went brewery hopping till sunset. Rough day.

Today I have to work, meaning I have to shop vac and mop the work space around my tents. Tomorrow is rez change day, and I prefer to work in a super clean environment.

Fuckin' a brother, thank you kindly. Epic post. Good to know. What are you replacing those sprays with? Any others you use?

I make a variety of foliars. Many are made from items I already have in my kitchen. I rotate the sprays I use. Many are sprays I've made by just reading the damn labels on commercial products to see what's in them.

My foliars are mostly used outdoors as I don't spray my indoor plants with anything other than sesame oil while in veg just as a preventative. My flowering tent is isolated in the garage with all of the intakes filtered with MERV 11 filter material so once they get put in flower they're pretty safe and I don't spray anything. I never bring in outside plants. Everything I grow is from seed so there is no chance I'm bringing anything in from someone else's grow.

Here are some of the organic ingredients I use in foliars. Except for the Potassium Silicate everything comes from my kitchen and is used for cooking. If I can eat it I have no concern using it on my plants. I rotate between foliars containing different ingredients. That reduces the chance of anything developing a resistance to what I spray. I haven't had PM or any significant pest issue in years.

Citric acid
Sesame oil
Canola oil
Cinnamon
Cloves
Garlic
Onion
Ginger
Lemongrass
Citrus
Rosemary
Potassium silicate

Dang brother, killing the game! Thanks for the thoughtful reply! A couple of those ingredients I have been reading about and plan to add to my outdoor foilar as well (cloves and rosemary).

Curious about the sesame oil you spray in veg. Do you just dilute some in water and spray? How often are you spraying it? As an oil I'd assume it hangs around for a longer period than some of the other ingredients. Is that accurate?

I replaced the neem oil I used to use with sesame oil. It is just as effective as a preventative and it is something I already have for cooking purposes. It's also the active ingredient in Organocide 3 in 1 Bee Safe Garden Spray. I spray it every couple of weeks or so. I add a couple drops of liquid soap as a surfactant.

From the Organocide label:

Will NOT harm bees, butterflies or ladybugs.
Active Ingredients/Guaranteed Analysis:
0.08%..........Sesame Oil

Other Ingredients:
99.92%..........Lecithin, Edible Fish Oil, Potassium Sorbate, Water

Always good to read the labels and the harm that some products have on beneficial insects. Even simple ISO insecticidal sprays will work too. Alcohol evaporates quickly and it punches thru waxy insect exteriors. It also has a desiccant like quality to all stages of infection.
