neem oil in flower.

How late into flower can you use neem oil? if you dont have a choice.My friend droped off a clone and when i check it over i must have missed something.cause today there are spider mites in my garden Ive been growing for a few years and have never had a mite till today.its not infested in there thank god.but i need a remedy that i can use continously. ill get a few ladybugs and a couple daddylong legs. but i got plants at all levels of flower.Now when i go to harvest a plant should i give it a shower to wash it off? may sound stupid but im totally bummed and totally serious.

i have heard people say they use it all the way through.is this true?

You can use Einstein Oil which is cold pressed neem oil until one week before harvest. I use 1/2 tsp per qt with coco wet to make it stick. Just dont soak the buds and mist with the lights out so the buds dont burn.. You can use a little soap insted of the coco wet. Then you have to flush with Clerex or Florakleen and use water only till finish. Regular neem oil ruins the buds if you use it during flower. Some say you can stop and rinse the buds with a couple weeks left but I dont think that works too well. I tried rinsing and had to trash the smoke. Could not handle the taste. Discount Hydro has something called Zero Tolerance that has Ed Rosenthals name on the bottle. Its for mites and other pest like catapillars. I think its good for flower. Im going to buy some after the new year and give it a try. Good luck with the mites. They really suck!

I've used Spidermite Control in mid-late flowering with good results, but yeah it suggests avoiding the flowers which can be difficult.
but its organic, and made from garlic, cinnamon and something else, so isnt gonna fuck you up.
Raising humidity is supposed to work well, and make the lil fuckers explode, as they breathe through their exoskeleton.
keeping temps down also slows their progress a lil.

cool thanks guys temps go to 48-55 when lights off.is that low enough?

I'd say thats a lil too cool..you should be lookin around 68* lights off.So other than slowing spidermite reproduction and the rate they transfer around the plants, your plants are prolly a lil too cold, which can slow growth amongst other things.Here's a link to spidermite control site..http://www.spidermitecontrol.com/index.html

the plants growth is ok they have all adjusted and its steady but its good it will slow down their reproduction.

cool.. good luck wiping out hose nasties

Thanks man. Good link.
