Neem doesnt work near as well if you already have a spider mite problem. Neem will take weekly treatments for weeks religously for it to work. But its not fast acting and it isnt good for the buds.Pixi - I'd been using neem oil during veg and early flowering, and thought I'd licked the little bastards - until week 6 of flowering. Does the Azamax work a lot better than neem? I have to admit I am not thrilled with what the neem did not do for my plants. Saw a mite on one of my vegging clones and sprayed them down as well. I am getting tired of all the work. If the azamax is actually effective, I'm all about effective. If it works well for you in your location, I think I'll look into it more. I swear I have more 'stuff' in the cabinet now than I expected! lol
I did neem for 4 to 5 weeks in a row religiously, just to really make sure the mites were gone, but they weren't. I will have to look up Mycotrol; haven't seen that name yet. Thanks for the suggestion!Neem doesnt work near as well if you already have a spider mite problem. Neem will take weekly treatments for weeks religously for it to work.

Hell no it isn't....It isn't good for the plants either...! and it isn't all that effective...and the smell never goes away...and if you get it on your hands the smell and uuuuggggghhhhh the taste of it will not WILL NOT wash off...gross useless crap is what neem oil is.Neem doesnt work near as well if you already have a spider mite problem.

be carefull spraying with lachahol as it will leech the THC out of the buds, people use it to make ISO hash oil.Thanks, guys.
I did a lot of reading in the past 24 hours, and my plan tonight is to take all the plants out one by one and vacuum them first followed possibly with a spray solution of water/isopropyl alcohol. From everything I've read, at this point - 6 weeks into flower - neem oil will make the buds taste like crap, same with soap and everything else, and it's kinda too late in the game for me to be comfortable using the No-Pest Strips. So taking all of the options away due to the timing, vacuuming the little bastards off the fan leaves and them spraying them - but not the buds - with the alcohol mix is all I've got left to work with.
The most affected plants are my OG girls, and they already have a ton of trichs and are sticky. So I don't want to vacuum up my harvest - ! Will be VERY careful.
I'll have to do this over and over for the last couple of weeks at least once or twice a week. Fun, fun.
