If you want to give out lousy advice, be my guest- I'll correct you- but don't be putting my name on that crap.

Neem oil as a miticide should be used on the leaf surface- CAREFULLY.
first off my apologies to you stinkyattic....my intentions were not to attach you to bad information ... which is why I said "I believe" not "for certain" when I used your name.

2nd there IS someone on here, who's name I can't remember(obviously) that does spray their plants several times a week w/neem and has had amazing success with their grows. my advice to the person that started this thread was based on the situation they are in. Yes I know, its not ideal to spray neem that mcuh, but I felt doing so would be the lesser of two evils when it came to his grow. The potential negative effects of too much neem vs. the potential negative effects of high temps and bugs. Either way he is running a risk and I just personally feel that going the proactive route w/using neem would be better than waiting for mites to appear in temps like that.

no worries though....you provide great advice and I read and follow much of what you write.....so for that I thank you. :thumbsup:
