Neem oil on seedling
Padda
started grow question 4y ago
I found thrips on the chili plant and moved it outside, I could not visually see any thrips on the seedlings. Can I use neem oil on a seedling for preventative pest control?

Little green monsters
So, I'm in week 2 of flowering and things are going fairly well with the exception of little green bugs, they don't look the same as the 1st ones I found. I have neem oil used it lightly but I was reading not to use it during flowering. So can I or no? Is there something else

translucent pest in soil
Hi, last watering I've seen tiny translucent insects (about 1 mm) emerging from the soil. They are fast and can jump like a flea. I assume they live in soil. What are these little monsters, should I worry about them and what should I do ? TIA

Organic IPM
What do you all use for IPM? I got tweetmint, em-5 from BuildASoil & neem oil. I just tried a solution of neem oil, AGSil 16H & ThermX70…forgot to PH balance the solution so I came back & sprayed the leaves with a lower ph purified drinking water. I’m growing organically btw.
