I'm Growing A Bug!

I didn't have a problem last grow, but last grow was mostly outdoors, for some reason they love the HID. I dunno man, I have been thinking about building another grow box, for flowering, and making sure that this time I take my time and not try to rush. So I can keep the bugs out. If I can get some lady bugs and mantis' I'm going to try them too. Also I'm thinking about buying some neem oil. I just put this crop into flowering so they aren't even sexed yet, I am not worried about them being in the buds, because I plan to take care of the problem, BEFORE they even develope any. But how about you guys? I'm just a newb. Maybe FDD? How do you keep them out? Question probably directed towards you anyway.

i love the bugs. my grass hopper is still hanging out. like i said i had 1 all year last year. he keeps jumping from plant top to plant top. i can go out right now and check each plant and i will find him. just 1 though. kinda odd.

i use ladybugs. indoors i have no bugs other then gnats. if you look at my bud under a microscope you will see them stuck to it. they add a slight spicy tone to the flavor of the bud.

the ladybugs do fly away. i released some 2 weeks ago. i will have to release some more soon. they have all left. they stay where the food is so them leaving is a good sign.

these are stupid green beetles. i forget the name. i spoke to someone at the nursery last year and they said they are very common in this area and to plant flowers that they don't like and it will keep them away. i just can't remember what type of flowers it was.
