Preparing neem oil for spraying
GMSgrowsstarted grow question 4 years ago
Does neem oil actually mix in water? Never used the stuff, always just blast the underneath of leaves with a pump up sprayer filled with water and a little soap. Just wondering if the neem oil Is suppose to be mixed in water and if so how is it possible to mix oil with water.

You do mix it but as we all learned oil and water don't mix. Your soultion to this is some insecticidal soap mixed in to help break the oils down into the water. It also will help get rid of pesky insects! Cheers and happy growing! Check out my first grow if you have the time!

So you really dont know if it's the neem oil that kills the bugs when your adding a natural bug killer like soap. The soap is a real killer to bugs. It suffocates the little buggers which is why that is what I have always used to rid my plants of mites. A pump up sprayer with a wand to blast the under side of the leaves with the soap and water. Sure kill and very safe for your plants. Thnx for the answers guys. Was wondering how oil mixes with water, you have to kill the oil with soap, so no sence in that.

Hi!
This ia what I found: To make one litre of general-purpose neem oil spray, mix 5 mL neem oil, 2 mL of liquid soap and 1 L of water.
Soap acts as an emulsifier and will help to mix everything. When adding neem oil to the soap water solutiom, ho slowly and stir all the time

Why DP's leaves are so small?Hi guys! Do you have any idea why Durban Poison is growing so slowly? I am suspicious I might have hurt her during the transplantation. She has 3 pairs of leaves and she is healthy green, but her leaves are very small...strange from a sativa. She has the same age as my Durga MataWeek 3

Weird new leavesOne of the two leaves from the newest growth came out curled and crisp. The other leaves seem a bit canoed as well. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to solve?
It’s been outside with supplemental lights at night. Too much heat, water, etc? Please help.

Missing CotyledonCame home from work and 1/2 of one of my cotyledons is missing! Do you think this plant will still survive/produce?
I’m doing an outdoor grow so I expected pests but did not expect them this early in seedling/early veg.
Should I spray with neem oil this early??
