Are these spider mites or nutrient deficiency??? Help
Yeah its good stuff! I put a few drops of dish liquid in with it as a wetting agent, but I want to point out that a once or twice a week 'bath' with dish soap is such a good prevention that you will rarely see insects, & if you do, it won't be to the point of infestation. Plants are natural things of the earth. Natural cures & preventions are easier on plants than chemicals which can burn or leave toxic residues. Neem oil, however is a natural product. I'm not saying dish soap is necessarily natural, but it rinses away. I prefer Joy as bugs don't like lemon scent. As with anything applied to your grow, rinse a day or so before harvest. But neem is good. Go ahead & use what you have.
~~~ PEACE! ~~~
P.S. this may sound like its from a sci-fi flick, but insects breathing apparatus' are actually on their legs. Please forgive the spelling, I'm about to slaughter this word, but 'diamiatous' earth will suffocate them. Sprinkled on top of the soil will eliminate spring tails & other little soil insects too. It would help to keep some on hand, but you should do fine with what you have. Maybe Shovel could jump in here & spell it right for us. I killed it!
