No... neem oil is an organic foliar spray used for pest control. I wouldn’t use it at all unless you’re having some pest issue.

Unless you are having pest issues you don’t need it. If you are then follow the directions closely on how much to add to your water.

Mites?
Hi. What are these? Slow crawling, not fast or jumpy, about the size of this period . They swarm by the thousands after I water. Plants are doing great. I hit them with CannControl and Lost Coast, population has reduced a bit. I’m leaning towards soil mites. What do y’all think?

Plant being eaten by something...
Something is snacking on my plant! Snail/slug, inchworm/caterpillar seem the likeliest culprits - cricket or grasshopper have similar bites but are a little large to get in the buckets and disappear, as I am home to check her. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, this is my first grow and I am trying to make it successfull. Unfortunately my plants are growing very slowly because I made a few mistakes in the first 3 and a half weeks. I think the crucial one was using CFL 250W Bloom light. Do you guys think I can save this grow?

Gnats come out in full force this time of year in my area. It’s a matter of time before they find their way into the room. What do you guys use as a pest preventative measure?

late stage bugs outdoor
Day70. White fly and eggs (pict.2) removed all infected leaves. Harvest, avoid more problems and midrange weed, or wait and hope it doesnt go worse? does she have any chance to recover? I wont mind either way as we're speaking less than 2,5g...

This lady had a mag. deficiency I believe so I added the cal-mag back to her diet but I feel she is still growing slower than my AK-49 Auto , is this because she is recovering and will catch up or is it something else

Identify bug / larva
Any idea the bug / larva? Reapplied insecticide soap. Might need to change plans if she starts flower before they're dealt with. For additional reference see diary, and also I have tomatoes and peppers in the same "garden". Pics are at 60x magnification - first 2 on plant.

Is this Fungus Gnat Larvae?
Found these little suckers in the DWC roots, sprayed some 1:4 peroxide/water solution all around, and tried to flush the roots too. Now I'm letting the roots soak in just water & hydro guard for now (ran out of peroxide). Thoughts

The soil I got seems to have come with friends. How do I get rid of little black flies in my soil? Should I deploy sticky traps? Will that be enough?
