hi CT GUY
whilst this is one of the very cornerstones of organics, it doesnt apply to an indoor garden (because the thing that is out of balance is that you have taken some plants and crammed them under a light in a small room or cupboard ) there is very little we can encourage by way of an ecosystem that is beyond microscopic level indoors and the reason why you get mites indoors is that they got in there somehow.
as for foliar feeds, again - outdoors i wouldnt hesitate to used them - especially on vegetables etc, but indoors on weed i would be worried that the possible problems might outweight the benefits ( are there huge benefits to using ACT as a folar feed over just plain ACT watering??)
i dont like the idea of wetting the foliage, if you apply it when the lights are on then you risk burning, if you apply it when the lights are off you risk mold, notwithstanding the mess etc.
perhaps i've missed something...

2. ..... In theory, if you soil food web is balanced, then there's no reason to have mite problems. With the neem oil, you're treating a symptom, not correcting that fact that something is out of balance in your system.
