About a half an hour ago I misted the shit out of my 4 plants with Neem Oil and dishsoap. I watered & fertilized them with the suggested amount....upon completion I noticed some of the fan leaves on the plants are very slightly droopy. Will that go away tomorrow?
I hate to be paranoid but just trying to be careful. THanks in advance for any replies.
peace
ive been told just to do a little mist when done and herd of dish soap but dont know the usige?
i dont think it's your fertilizer if you did it right i think its something with your neem probley sprayed too much if gets worse try spraying with clean clear water try to get some of that neem off
if you dont figure it out try talkin to stinkyattic see what she think of the situation
it also might be the neem and ferts all going into the plant at the same time dish soap as well over feed in some type of way!!
Im thinkin maybe it could be a poor soap to neem oil ratio - I did my best to scale it down for a one cup sprayer....so added one half of 1/4 tsp of Neem Oil (1/4 tsp is smallest denominator i could find) and the same with dishsoap.
I did actually get some bubbles coming out onto a few leaves, i misted over with water an hour later just in case...sounds like i might have accidently done the right thing there.
I should have posted this on my main thread. You can see it here
RINSE!
Spray that soap completely off after it dries, or you can get wilt. And if the soap is still there when you fertilize, it can burn much more easily.
As well when did you mist your plants... I hope you did it while the light was off!!! as well allowed a few hours of darkness to pass before turning the lights back on. I usually Neem right when the light goes off. so they have a good 4 to 5 hours of drying time.
Droopy leaves can be caused just by watering. I also try to water when the light is off. I find the plants take it in better, As well it insures that excess water that might fall on the leaves drys before the lights come back on.

You don't 'mist the shit out of your plants' when you are using a new fertilizer or pesticide for the first time ! :eek:
Neem when overapplied can SUFFOCATE your plants. Mist LIGHTLY, and not the undersides of the leaves. Allow to dry. Wait a couple days. Mist again. You want to make certain that your strains and conditions and the pesticide are not incompatible in any way. Some strains are more sensitive, and high temps make that even worse.
if u ove due it it will cause some major damage!! done this myself to the point wher ethe leaves on the bottom darn near turned black!!! Scale the soultion down like ur were saying and u should be fine.
Yup that is the symptom of neem/dormant oil overapplicationQuote:
