Do lady bugs prevent other bugs from touching your plants?

Yes kinda. They seek them out but they may touch the plant before they get ate who knows

If your gonna use it during flower you better not let it get on your buds. Only spray soil with fan off in flower with neem

Being extra careful not to spray even towards the buds. I even went as far as covering the plant with a Walmart bag and then spraying the soil to ensure nothing hits those precious buds

How long can you use neem oil into flowering? does it have any effect when it is sprayed onto the forming buds? obviously I wouldnt use it the last week at least but can you use it until then?

You can spray the soil but cover your buds first and turn off fans while spraying

I have done it many times and that's the only way to use it if your in flower. Mostly it's used in veg but it's super important to not have any wind blowing one drop on a bud and you Midas well toss it

Also you can spray it in the morning or afternoon as long as it's on the soil. It will kill any pest in the soil and it's especially effective if you can literally see little bugs crawling up and down your stem. Do that and they suddenly disappear lol same with the ones on the leafs but no spraying neem till light off is about to happen and light is turned down to lowest setting then it is turned off after spraying. Good luck though buddy. Them pest can be a nightmare. Another thing that you can try is some stuff called lost coast plant wash

Also I'll note that it normally works but not always. Some bugs are more resistant I think and if it don't work you'll have to have another method to eradicate them because certain mites become immune to neem over time and become super mites lol
