Hi..
My experience with Super Thrive, Neem Oil, Transplants etc..
--
Superthrive is fine and supposedly organic.. if you have any doubts, simply don't use lit.. you probably wouldn't notice one way or the other.
Neem Oil and transplants... ya, they are right.. don't use it on transplants.. at least in my anecdotal experience it will make really set you back at best.. and screw up a lot of leaf that might be recoverable.. or not so damaged and still produce.
What kind of insects, how small of plant?
If it is a small plant and spider mites, control them with water till the plant get's grooving again.. then do whatever you do as part of your plan.. after the plant is happy somewhat..
Just my thoughts..
Peace~!

Not organic, but that shouldn't be a deal breaker. You use so little of it, a drop pr two a gallon, anyways. A lot of B1, few growth hormones, actually classified as a pesticide, I believe. Great stuff, in any case.
As far as the buggers, go half the recommended strength on the fresh transplant. Or wait.
For future reference--
You can take a bug infested transplant next time and gingerly dunk the whole damn thing (upside down, minus roots) in some water + a few drops of Dawn. Most of 'em will suffocate and/or wash right off. You'd be surprised what kind of tough love a healthy MJ plant can take!

damn lol, i put very little neem oil on it, like a teaspoon of it. I just wanted to kill those green insects walking on the soil and kill whatever spidermites crawled on to it. hopefully i did not do any damage to the plant, i sprayed around the soil and some on the leaves
