About the Liquid Yucca Extract from Barney's Tree Experts for $24.95/gallon ($21.95/gallon for 2 gallons). It's made by Southern Organics & Supply in partnership with VermiTechnology Unlimited who also makes VermaPlex.

So if I get some this won't pretty much happen at least: :tumbleweed: and I'll be proud as a :peacock:

It's nice to have the OMRI listing as you can use this stuff throughout your grow if the need arises. Good to have whether you're using soil or hydro. After all we are ingesting (in one way or another) the end product. Like this emulsifier also has OMRI listing:

Another note, from Safers soap site: "Avoid using sulfur based fungicides within the active period (5-7 days) of the neem oil product. These two products combined, greatly increase the risk of plant burn." Dr. Bronner's soap or Protekt are good emulsifiers for Neem oil (also Dyna-Gro a very good brand).

Concentrated forms of Neem oil might be good like Azamax or Aza Sol, I like Neem oil (for prevention) over the others and use it with Rosemary oil. Here's an interesting article: Neem Oil + Karanja Oil Published by Matt Rize

My guess would have been George's aloe vera liquid. Thanks much for your inputs.

Also I found with Pyrethrin/Pyrethrum as an organic knock down pest control (Neem oil & Azamax are systemic and act differently) Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate is OMRI Certified for organic use. Safer Brand also has organic pyrethrum in their insect soap & products called Trounce (concentrate).

Why organic? Some have used this multi-prong organic pest control past the 2nd or 3rd week of flower in emergencies as a knock down. But seems most foggers are not organic (have piperonyl butoxide) and many non-organic pyrethrin products mostly have petroleum distillates & oils, hence the "turpentine" fragrance.

What about the powdered yucca like Humes? I checked with them and it's 100% (not sprayed onto maltodextrin like the equine products.
