Can i spray one more time with Neem Oil now? 3rd or maybe 4th week of flowering now. Noticed that some leafs are being eaten. Product information says i can but i also read discouraging comments fron other users so im a bit in doubt. Ladybugs and praying mantisses also an option

what you can do is you can give it through the soil. if your end game is to use the azadirachtin contained in neem (which is the main pesticidal compound) then you can do a soil drench because azadirachtin is translocated in plants which means roots will take up the molecule and it’ll be transported to other tissue like flowers or leaves and be deposited there. one thing though i dont know what you mean when you say neem oil but i’d highly suggest something like neemazal which is a water based extraction of neem seed and an organic oil as a carrier (i guess canola maybe). the reason for that is most neem oil contains aflatoxins so neemazal uses a pure azadirachtin extract derived from neem seed (by using water extraction) and mixes it with aflatoxin free organic oil which is just better then neem seed oil imo. pure and effective. with this method azadirachtin will take longer to accumulate inside the above ground plant tissue but longer to disappear as well while give you a chance to avoid spraying your buds with aflatoxin containing neem oil. peace!

Neem oil can ruin the taste of bugs and I would not recommend it during flower. Even doing just the leaves. To me it looks like the damage is from a larger insect. Snal,slug,worm or grasshopper. It's large enough that you should be able to spot it

there are 2 different types of neem oil... one is simply stripped of the active ingredient, "Azerdirachtin" (or close enough for a google search) even then impotent version, i'd be hesitant to use it on the plant. try to hit just the leaves / underside of leaves as best you can? if it has the active ingredient, azerdirachtin, ???. -- looks like it degrades after 100 hours of light and water. (wiki) the limitations in flower pose a problem... weight cost / benefits and someties you gotta toss something on it you'd ather not. Use something that breaks down quiclkly,. pyrethrins supposedly break down in 2-3 days... but that's a contact killer. no residual effect, so it would only be useful in conjunction with a more complete way of killing them. make sure you knwo what you are dealing with.. if they lay eggs in soil, bti will be safest way to go. that has been used on our food for many generations at this point. you may endure some more damage, but it'll control them within 2-3 weeks... put out traps maybe a little pyrethrin misting to kill some adults.

IDK if this is pest related or just the plant growing weird. The holes look odd to me. The RQS Neem product states its best not to use it in flower. I think a simple soap and water spray on the plant will do. rinse it off in 10 min after it soaks for a bit. repeat as needed early morning or later evening out of full direct sun. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/growing/510-neem-oil.html Good Luck!

You are calling in all the pests with all them nutrients. Especially all the bio vega stuff. That's all bee friendly. Your ringing the dinner bell. Neem oil, I don't use. Its a leaf wash. So why wouldn't you be able to use it. Just put yore c hands over the buds and spray the leafs (make sure to do underneath) i got canna cure idk how good it is But you are growing outside. You need to use some synthetic pest nutrient. Something with silica or something. But the bio stuff. Well ye. All bee friendly stuff. I know you don't have issues with bees but my point is you have a tasty meal out. Hope you sort it.
