Don't use as a foliar spary if your flowering .....neem oil works great in and outdoors it only take a week or 2 ofusing it befor your plants are fully bug free they hate that stuff plus it a polish so it will pretect them from drying out gives it a nice shineeee..... if your using out door I would preflush ur soil with neem if you didn't allready do so if not and the plants are in the pots out doors then just do a flush with neem maybe two time with a 3 to 5 days window inbetween to get everything...... have funnn
i do have dyna neem and mix it kinda weak, like less than 1/2 strength. no flowers outdoor in NY yet so i feel safe spraying them...
they are in the ground and get no food or water from me, just rain and soil...
i just dont wanna attract an animal with the neem smell...

how long before harvest can you use neem?
what if you do pretty regular foliars that would wash it off?

Neem takes around 30 days to break down.... so
use like 5 weeks or so before harvest and itll last you up till harvest and be broken down by the team you dry and cure.
I have recently used it as a soil drench on my plants since it is systemic.
BEWARE WHEN SPRAYING. DO NOT SPRAY IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OR ALL YOUR LEAVES WILL BE BURNT TO A CRISP.

I agree, you should not spray anything in direct sun.
I usually like to spray anything late in the evening so it will dry

there is really not much point in using neem outdoors prior to flowering as other chems will do a quicker and more thorough job. if you have spider mites then use whatever is common (never had them myself) to kill them and be done with it. i am all in favor of organic treatments but i have found them best used as a preventative measure rather than a cure outdoors. at onset of budding through harvest is the time of caution when you need to look for that omri certification on chems used. peace-biteme

neem oil is great, i water with it instead of srayin it cause you kill the good and the bad when you spray but when you water with it you only kill the insects that try to eat your plant.
