Cannabis Tea as a pest deterrant

If anyone using a cannabis tea (made from cuttings, stems, leaves, roots, etc.) for use as a systemic biologic pest deterrent? My thinking is that the terpenes in these parts may inhibit pests and assist the plant in protecting itself. Thoughts?

Sure go for it. @ethan was doing some work with canna extracts for something like this.
Using plain water alone activates VPD in the morning and can drown or traumatize pest like mites before they get out of control or extinguishes them.

I foliar alot. 2-3 times in 7 days with light elemental organic tea’s #3 is usually just plain elemental soluble sulphur and plain water.
I put biofilm on the leaves with Endzymes (key to life’s) and bugs are non existent.
To be honest, I don’t spray my plants unless I’m feeding them.
The pesticide\fungicide thing, is built into the organics I use so i never see or deal with pest since I starting doing this.

What you are really doing is inspecting your plants, giving them TLC, and acting in a preventive way.
Excellent my friend!
My only concern is oils. The program I use does not allow for oils due to 98% sulphur. There is no reason at all to spray any oil at all on your plants. It dissolves the plants own cuticle which then opens up the leaves to spores and little jaws to bite through. Oil clogs stomata and can leave a nasty residue on the leaves. Look terrible when doing photos.
