Let’s talk about neem oil: what are your thoughts on using neem oil through the various growth stages? I’m specifically interested in thoughts on using it through Flowering.

It’s ok for veg—- do not use in flower. I personally use combinations off all types of IPM—- from citric acid based (Dr Zymes—- good for in flower), oil based like pure crop and lost coast, to essential oil based like neem, geranium— Zen Angry John, Mammoth Control, etx. Not a huge fan of neem

Definitely not on the flowers and probably never at all would be best. In my country, it is illegal to use neem on any product intended for human consumption.

Well the danger in flowering is that water can get inside the flowers and the mold risks grow exponentially. If you have bugs issues, at this stage I would use Rhino Skin and manual cleaning, but if it's serious you should consider something more powerful like a homemade brew with garlic, tobacco and cinnamon. Neem works, in my experience, more as a preventive solution than a cure.

I never use it. Grow companion plants like spearmint. You can use the spearmint leaves with water and spray your plants anytime in veg or flower. Just soak the leaves in a spray bottle with water for 24-36hrs give a good shake and spray away.👊

It's technically safe to use up until harvest - but I would avoid spraying your actual buds if at all possible
