So I'm new to growing indoor... I have one simple question at this time....`

Is it safe to use 100% pure essential oils on the plants as pest repellent (like citronella (deluded of course 5 drops per one quart))?

I assumed it would be fine as I just use a very, very fine mister when applying, however I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. I wasn't sure of the PH of the oil and didn't want to harm the the growth of t.h.c..

And if anyone has any better ideas on the exact essential oil(s) blend, I would appreciate it. I'm not big on smoking chemicals... )

Thanks,

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

Soaking up all that information and sifting through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

As for your question...take a look here: http://tasty-yummies.com/2013/07/17/homemade-essential-oil-insect-repellent-spray/

Thank you so much!

Happy Friday!
