Aphids vs neem oil. How long does it take?

[CF89]

I’ve got a tiny aphid problem that I can’t seem to stop. I am 10 days into flower so trying to keep the neem down.

I have sprayed them 3 times now every 2 days and I use 6ml per gallon. The plants get soaked from top to bottom. Underside and top.

the aphids are still there and thriving. Why????

Lady bugs are the next option. I have tried spraying with a hose and diamataceous earth.

fly traps help me reduce the flying population when they get out of hand. Technically diatomaceous earth when it contacts aphids it should take 2-4 days for them to die off. Aphids suck.

the ladybugs will eat them up in about 30 minutes. Been there and done that

Ok so how many ladybugs for a 4x4 tent. 6 plants? And then what happens when there’s no food for those ladybugs and I got hundreds of starved ladybugs? Do they breed and multiply quickly?

just go to either the hydro store or a good nursery and get them. Some die off but most live and they are a good way of preventing future infestations.
