Definately use pest stuff before hand. I personally go with easily available stuff. I use neem on anything once plants in there. Before hand I clean good n use ortho home defense from Walmart. I don’t puddle it up just mist around perimeter good. There are more known products that’s just easy one to get at. Do not get on plants or have bunch of fumes in there with plants. And don’t sit plants on floor. Elevated better anyways. You want no chance of contact between plant and serious pesticides. Neem is mostly safe use only as needed though.
I use as needed diluted on the plant. I keep a strong mix that I randomly spray sides of pots and the table they sit on. Every few days just spray around a bit. Not on plant unless you have bugs or fungus. I get garden safe neem extract. It’s not the strongest out but still good. All day to dilute like tbsp to gallon I think. My strong mix I put probably 5x that at least. I’m on 3rd grow and only needed 2 bottles total so far. At less than $10 each its worth it. It claims safe til harvest day to spray but I try not to touch plant with any spray in flower.Do you use Neem as a preventive control or only if you see a problem? If you use it as a preventive how often do you use. Also do you use it as a spray?
Might be oz to a gal. I know it was like 25-30 ml when I did the math.I use as needed diluted on the plant. I keep a strong mix that I randomly spray sides of pots and the table they’ll. I k sit on.

I'm hip to neem oil as well. Used properly it has helped me control and eventually eliminate every insect problem I've ever had. Highly recommend Einstein Oil if you can get it. I don't usually feel the need to spray neem routinely and avoid doing so after the third week of flower so as not to build it up in the buds, but a "bio-shield" spray of beneficial microbes can help to deter a variety of insects, molds and mildew and that is routine. The plants love it, too!
I grow indoors. I haven’t had any pest issues yet. I always add soil to the pots before I transplant and let it dry out completely to kill any pontential larva and water after I transplant. I use fox farm ocean forest and for my second grow I’m using another brand of organic soil.
