Yea you ain't kidding about the nasty part... I ended up giving my plant a good spray down with the Neem oil and was NOT expecting the smellNeem oil is nasty. Don't like it. Insecticidal soap takes a lot of application. Canola oil based Insecticide leaves a residue. The doom bombs are explosive. De is labour intensive. Sulphur sprays sort of work. And CO2 saturation can take weeks. Of those choices. I'd say soap. Less nasty.
Neem oil seems to work the best for me on just about any pest. It is not difficult to use. Mix per directions on bottle. Spray with lights off - wait to dry - maybe 30 minutes. Spray again in 3 days and then again in another 3 or 4. Have tried insecticidal soap with little luck - maybe you just have to keep spraying it. Green cure for powdery mildew - neem for bugs.Yea you ain't kidding about the nasty part... I ended up giving my plant a good spray down with the Neem oil and was NOT expecting the smellI ended up getting the Bonide Captain Jack's Neem Oil(RTU) and was as light on the coverage as possible,while still making sure every leaf/branch got completely covered. I was kinda dumb for not waiting a few more hours, since lights don't go out till 11 but currently have it sitting outta the grow area to dry. Part that really confuses me tho, is the amount of forums and comments I've read.. and have some people say to leave it on the plant, others who say rinse the plant. Have also read to keep it away from light for like 2-3 days and then also that it can go back under light within an hour of spraying... I know every case/person is different. Just not sure which way to go trying to be as overly cautious as possible with this plant and trying to really take my time to make sure I don't miss anything or skip on something that'll bite me in the long run(ahh pun intended, get it.. bite..bugs.. I need a life ) but seriously appreciate the input already, always welcome to learning new things in this process!
Oh wow, I didn't know those were a thing! Will definitely look into them for sure!I'll go for neem before spinosad, just because spinosad is The Kabash. Alternating between neem, homemade pesticide (google it, there are dozens of recipes), and spinosad is a surefire way to ensure whatever you're fighting doesn't develop a tolerance. I'd hate to lose the ability to use spinosad though, so it's the last ditch effort. Neem sucks, though. Hate the smell, it's toxic to pollinators, and if you apply it during the day it'll cook your plants. That being said, I use all the above on more than cannabis with great success when needed.
Another option is neem cakes. Since neem is systemic, having it in your media (soil, i'd never put that shit in a hydro res) it can have just as much effect as spraying it with that foul, sweet, shit sour mash whiskey smell.
So I spray it before turning out lights and I'll be fine so outside should I spray before dark?Neem oil seems to work the best for me on just about any pest. It is not difficult to use.
