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
