Thanks, mate. They've been inside under 600W MH on 15/9 in a F&D system & EC of 1.6-1.8 for several months, so I'm definitely not "pushing" them by any means. I needed to empty the tent so I can get a dozen Wonder Woman clones in & plan for a seed-making run for next year.....;)

Now, if I can just get these fucking aphids under control, I'll be a happy man! They're driving me bonkers & I've been applying home-made White Oil (with out-of-date Eco-Neem added:confused:) every few days in my other two bush plots to no avail...:(

How are you emulsifying your neem oil? If you don't emulsify neem or any other oil into your spray mix correctly you wont get proper coverage and being a contact killer, if you dont get proper coverage you wont get effective results

It's just a standard home-made white oil (canola oil/dishwashing liquid), to which I added about a cupful of old Eco Neem. That's shaken-up & dosed to a pressure sprayer @ 20ml/Litre & applied all over with a wand.

Try mixing Neem and Potasium Silicate at about a 3:1 ratio and some warm water in one of those protein shakers with the wire ball in them and shake the fuck out of it for a minute. Add some Dr Bronners soap too if you have some.

Eco-Neem & Potassium Silicate I already have. I take it that's intended as a concentrate that gets diluted for spraying much the same as white oil? What kind of dilution rate?

Have you tried using d- limonene at all ? I'd be looking into that if I were you ;)

Orange oil? Sound like a novel solution. How is it used/applied & how often?

I go 3ml of Neem and 1ml of Silica per Litre of spray mix.

Yep that's the stuff. I'm going to leave it up to you to work out the rest, there's some good research papers and info online
