Can anyone tell me the benifits of using Einstein Oil? I recently received a free trial and I'd like to know more about it. Like it's uses, application methods, and what my lovely ladies have to gain from its usage. I have some girls in all stages, so what do you guys recommend. Honestly speaking, they don't show a need for anything at this point, but if I can use this stuff and make things better, I'd be a real happy camper. Thanks in advance.:rastasmoke:
isnt that oil used for people and not plants? i swear i seen that at a health food store, but maybe i forgot where i seen it...
I've heard it has many uses in general. I did however get this stuff from my Hydro Store. It's compressed neem oil, just a brand name.
So, anyone? Stinky? Can you shed some light?
neem oil is a great natural "non-toxic" insecticide that, when diluted and used with a few drops of natural soap (like dr. bronner's liquid eucalyptus oil soap) as a wetting agent, can help to eradicate pest populations (spider mites, aphids, thrips, etc.). since it is pretty mild stuff, you can spray your vegging plants (or flowering if an infestation is pretty bad) with it every ten days or so as preventative maintenance. I've had great success with it against thrips. good luck.
What do the plants gain just from neem oil? Nothing.Quote:

I've been using Einstein Oil for 10 years and have found it very effective in conrtolling spider mites. It is also a light foliar feed and the plants really perk up after spraying. Einstein oil prevents the insects from molting, therefore, they can not reach sexual maturity and lay eggs. It's always worked for me.
