I have neem but never use it. If you dont mix it well enough it makes your plants really greasy.I just don't wanna be smoking Greasy Kush.

Yes I have. But only as a last resort. I have been using Sevin and Safer and killing bugs before they get bad.any branches long enough have already been weaved threw the cage, Also done more Lst to the rhino. These branches are gonna be heavy!
you ever use neem before?
Yes.. They are in there. Not in the numbers that I used to see them but I don't have it completely sealed. Chances are if you see any moths or butterflies in your area you are going to get them. Check out the budworm thread at the top of the outdoor forum and tell me if you wanna risk getting them.

the last 2 seasons, I noticed worms showed up in september.....But just bought 4500 ladybugs off amazon for 22$. So with the BT, Neem, and ladybugs i should be ok....I hope so!
I read tha neem shoulnt be used in temps over 95, anybody have experience with neem in hot weather???
Any Input would be appreciated.

Here is a quick article that I found. I am sure there is more info out there but I am working at the moment and multitasking.

That is correct. I only had mites on my Green Crack last season and had little luck dealing with them when I got heavy into flower. Your ladybugs will make short work of them so you should be alright. If you have neem you should be spraying already as a preventative measure. I just haven't picked any up this year as the Sevin, Safer, and Mantis are keeping the ladies pest free.

Lemme know how good you do at keeping the lady bugs safe.
Sounds like Ill have to get some predator bugs for pre-flower.
Are mantises and ladybugs alive and moving around or dormant in October? I know thats a stupid question but i really dont know.

I believe as long at the temps are warm they will be around. Once it starts to cool down they disappear.

IDK about spidermites but Sevin knocks the worms out cold. Cheap and effective. On sale at walmart. I had worms attack my Anaheim Pepper plant and my tomato plants and I Sevin dusted them. No more worms. It is toxic to all insects tho. So if you bought beneficials i would not recommend the sevin.

I haven't sprayed since the introduction of my Mantis.

i have found a few manti roaming my main garden this year. It's rather relaxing that the "homie's" got yo back lol. I went and bought the BT but still have only used it in my whatever area because those praying manti have been fucking shit up in the screenhouse and I don't wanna fix something that aint broke lol. i love it. i think they followed a huge grasshopper. i been having occasional problems with grasshoppers but I bout some spectracide wasp solution and it's a stream so it knocks them of your plants when you blast them and it kills them.....slow as fuck. but they die.

They are cheap enough to just play with when you are out enjoying a smoke and the mosquitos are fucking with you.

Of course they aren't in my med garden, but they take care of the perimeterThey are cheap enough to just play with when you are out enjoying a smoke and the mosquitos are fucking with you.

I'd say drop it to $0.25/each. That could get to be a bad investment really quick. LOL
