Just wondering, I had been using neem oil, and it looks like it’s going to rain for the next ten days almost... does neem oil last long in wet conditions if applied while my plants dry? Should I worry about botrytis/fungi during this time?

That constant rain should definitely wash the neem away, reapply neem every 7-10 days until they start glowerimg then i would stop the neem (the buds will start soaking up the neem and burn your hairs, might get bud rot if the flower doesnt dry out fast enough). Also apply neem in late afternoon or evening so the sun doesnt cook the oil into your leaves and damage/burn them. As for that 10 day straight rain, try and get them out of the direct rain like under a big tree or against a house or shed so that the roots aren't getting soaked to death. You should be okay during the veg stage with the rain but once they start getting big flowers, rain is your enemy so try and keep them dry at that stage.

Neem oil is a natural and safe insecticide that is effective against many common cannabis pests. Learn how to use it directly in the grow room! Neem oil is made from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree, which is native to South Asia. The active insecticidal component in neem is azadirachtin. What makes Neem so special is that it is 100% natural and safe. It is not toxic to humans and animals. When used correctly, neem oil has no negative effects on the plants. Neem oil is very effective against many of the most common cannabis pests. It is particularly suitable against soft-skinned insects such as spider mites, aphids and greenhouse whiteflies. It is also fungicidal and is effective against fungi, mold and mildew. In order to maximize its positive effects, it is important to understand how neem oil works.

Hi! I canät answer your question 'cos I have no idea about neem oil but ten days of rain sounds bad and if you can you should cover the plant with something so that the rain drops wont get to your plant. Not sure tho but I feel like there is a good chance of bud rot if ten days rains.
