How soon can I foliar organic nutes after applying foliar neem?
- Thread starter mgrisme
- Start date
why did you apply the neem oil? tell us about your pests!
when I apply Neem I use a light foliar feed the next day. More important is isolation from your other plants. I would not put them together until I was sure no mites.
This is a good idea. when I receive clones i mix up a gallon of water with neem to make a dunk, then dunk the entire plant and dirt into the neem mix. Then i monitor the plants, and make several neem applications during veg. This seems to be working for me, but you have to be diligent if your serious about stopping the little bastards........scrappy
according to IPM, whn you have good reason to expect infestation, it is wise to treat.
However, I might add that you should treat the plant as if it is infested, so don't just spray once. If your temps are in the low 70's spray again in 5 days, and again 5 days after that.

I use a neem/seaweed mix that I mix myself to control mites. Liquid seaweed is used in different commercial organic insect sprays.
Studies from the 60's have found that liquid ascophyllum nodosum reduced populations of several different pests, and that when combined with insecticides makes the mixture more efficacious.[Seaweed and Plant Growth T.L. Senn 1987]
Its thought that the gibberillins and the hormones in liquid seaweed are the components that keep the insects from sexually maturing.
I've used this mix for several months now with good results. Mites are controlled and plants are happy.

Great tip, Big Daddy.......scrappy
i use neem on a regular basis along with silicon, and once a week or two mixed with seaweed. the neem and silicon are a great mite, PM preventative, and helps with stress resistance from watering, heat, pests etc. if used on a regular basis all the way up to about 2 weeks in flower.
dont use the seaweed no more than once a week or two, get yourself some pro tekt silicon and use that twice a week or so along with the neem. the silicon also acts as the emulsifier for the neem.
1/4 tsp neem
1/4 tsp silicon (dyna-gro pro-tekt)
+ 1/4 tsp seaweed (neptunes harvest is good stuff) once per week or two
28 or 32 oz spray bottle+ water
i also use the silicon 1/4 tsp- 1/2 tsp per gallon every watering
