get a quality sprayer and use neem twice per week, caterpillars, white fly, aphids = gone

100% but I stop all spraying when they start to flower unless I really have to. We've had a lot of rain hit lately so pretty sure everything's been washed off.. so my only option right now this far in is hunt lol.

neem is o.k. in flower, people eat it in India for over 1,000 years.

Probly about a month is my guess. I really like this granulated product called Dipel. It's super cheap and works amazing. You can spray up to 4 or 5 weeks into flower as well

I have something similar but wasn't sure how long in on could use it... I'm alway worried it will be concentrated in the extractions I do. Sometimes I think I'm too pedantic lmao

Neem is a gift from God lol. Then again i stop that too really early into flower :drunk2:

i had a picture posted before of 65% fan leaf destroyed, no dead tissue as the other part of leaf pure green & transpiring. Not possible without neem as that would be dead.


**** Found it.

The ability of neem to treat many illnesses is described in the earliest Sanskrit writings. For more than 4,500 years, Ayurvedic healers have used the bark, seeds, leaves, fruit, gum and oils of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica) for dozens of internal and external medical treatments.

Historically its uses have included a wide variety of diseases and disorders including malaria, dental health problems, diabetes, heart disease, pain jaundice, leprosy, stomach ulcers, chicken pox, heat-rash and many other skin disorders including cuts, bruises, acne, boils and wounds.

Modern researchers have isolated more than 140 compounds from different parts of the tree; these compounds have been shown, mostly in animal and laboratory studies exert anticancer, antioxidant,wound-healing and antimicrobial properties. Neem is also a powerful insecticide that has become a staple of many natural head lice treatments and mosquito repellents.

A natural insecticide

In fact Neem’s insecticidal properties make it a useful substance for farmers. Long before synthetic chemicals and commercial insecticides were available, neem was used in Indian villages to protect and nourish crops. Farmers usually mix neem leaves with grain before keeping it in storage.

Eco-friendly pesticides like neem reduce the risk of exposing pests’ natural enemies such as birds and small mammals to food poisoned with commercial pesticides. They also offer the prospect of better food quality as there is no toxic residue in the food. Neem is non-toxic to birds, animals, earthworms and man but protects crops from pests.

get a quality sprayer and use neem twice or three times per week, after a rain, caterpillars, white fly, aphids = gone

leaf will look like polish, after one bit they are toast. clean the sprayer with hot water when done, the neem gunks up ....., metal sprayers are better yet.

certain strain of Bt will kill the caterpillar larva also as a preventive midseason.

I use combine your neem concatenation and I add;
combine your mixture with red pepper, 1/2 tsp/gal then if 4 wks for harvest,
Add 1/2 tsp dried Mosquito Shoo Geranium in spray bottle (3 wks prior to harvest and you'll add lemon furniture polish smell, and lemon/sour lime taste. some like it, I dont like it 3 with in 3eks of harvest. catepillars will hang for about 2-3 minutes before falling, kill them!
For aggressive IPM, add Germanium (chemical grade) @ 200ppm in spray bottle and add about 5 drops of my Micro's to 1 cup this will have the Rhenium needed kill and keep caterpillars away for about 2-4 weeks depending on rain. This will boost the plant resistance and add vigor also.
