Neem oil & flowering ?

Personally, I wouldn't use it much after they start to show "budlets". They seem to act like a sponge and just suck up anything that you spray on them(also why I quit folar feeding at the same time). Are you saying that you are trying to keep you preditor mites in check? If so, they will take care of themselves, ie they will leave your buds after you harvest them, and two, they will go away if they eat all of the other mites.

hey duce358, i am assuming you mean powdery mildew with your PM reference. believe it or not powdered milk is suppose to handle PM really well. compared to whole milk, or even skim, the powdered milk contains no fatty oils which can go rancid and stink. mix the powdered milk with water following directions. then dillute the milk to around a 5:1 ratio with water (e.g. 5 cups water to 1 cup milk)....foliar spray the plant thoroughly when lights go out, or after sunset if outside. buds should be fine. hope this helps.

How far into flowering are you? depends on the stages, because sativas can take longer to flower than indicas do......

If your plants have buds on them, where they just start to form a little round bud, I would aviod it.... or you can put some on the leaves by other means and avoid spraying it around the buds.

Would not do what I listed above with only 2 weeks left to harvest.

weeks in

weeks in

I wouldnt go past 2-3 weeks in for fast flowering and 4-5 for late flowering. Once you get clusters and crystals, its probably too late.

I spray every three days for the first week, then once a week later when I move fems in from outside.
