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.

I noticed recently that a few of my leaves have these white spots on them with a little damage on them as well. Would this be linked to my slug problem? Or is it something completely different? I have been applying neem oil every few days but it doesn't seem to get rid of pests.5y ago

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!Week 6

After speaking with the breeder about this plant that won’t flower, I’ve taken their advice to switch the dark/light to 14/10. I’ll post some pics tonight. Has anyone had such a hard time getting a plant to flower before? And, if so, what did you do to get it to switch?Week 15
