Can you safely add neem oil to water/nutrient reservoir in addition to using as a foliar spray? (Growing in Coco Coir using Mills Nutrients)

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.

Which pests do this?
Exactly what pest does this kinda damage? I have my guess, but wanna get other growers' opinion on this type of yellowing of leaves and brown spots. 6 weeks into veg. It started very early on at bottom leaves, once I trimmed them this brown spots appeared on top growth.

Nematodes in combination with fertilizer
I ordered nematodes (SF) today, and i read something in an article about how they can't handle nitrogen. Should i worry about their effectiveness(if there is any at all) as i want to start feeding around the same time as using the nematodes?

Pruning to minimize aphids during flower, yes or no?
I think I have aphids on one of my plants, and lots of vegetative growth so I’m thinking of doing a little pruning.Is this a good idea during flower? Any tips on HOW I should prune? I was generally scared of pruning throughout the grow, I don’t know what to leave and what to clip

WHat are these bugs?
I had a Fungus Gnat problem, so I let the top soil dry and bottom water my fabric pots. Now, these little fellas live underneath my pots.. Any idea what they are? Is the worm like fella a nematode (I did use wormcasting tea)? Or a Fungus gnat larvae? How about those other bugs?

Spider mites
So it turns out the Thrips were not Thrips at all they are bloody spider mites. Noticed them feeding on nematodes after spraying. Predator mites on there way and sprayed with an 1-8 iso mix. Now should i rinse the plant with just water before adding the predators?
