I have another 4-5 weeks before my plants finish, and I am afraid if I do not treat again they will be back in full force. The Bon-Neem Soap is intended for vegtables and fruits grown outdoors or indoors. My question is how long into the flowering cycle can I apply Neem soap, and do I have to rinse my plants off when they are finished? Or any other helpfull information would be greatly appreciated.........................G
Neem soap? Please post a link to the product

Neem is an oil from the seeds of the Neem tree. It acts as a insect repellant and will protect your plants if you have an infection and will help prevent bugs from coming.

Soap, is an natural insecticide. Soap, as all soaps do, disrupts the oil layer on the bugs and causes them to suffocate and die. This will kill the bugs.

I donā??t know what your using, maybe itā??s an insecticidal soap mixed with neem oil?

During the flowering stage you want to use natural insecticides as you obviously donā??t want to be smoking toxins! Safers is a really good brand Iā??d recommend. I use almost all of their products and they have some pretty powerful ones (end all) which work very well and are 100% non toxic.

Oh, spider mites. If you have them it means your humidity is to low, as s. mites hate moisture. You can try misting your plants with plain water once and a while. You should also look into the life cycle of the mite and see how often you should treat.
In most cases you can only kill particular stages of the mite. So you spray and kill all the adults; there wont be any point in spraying until some eggs hatch (so you have to wait for that). Your trying to break their life cycle by killing the adults b4 they lay eggs.
I prefer to use something strong (end all) and just get rid of them. Otherwise your going to be fighting them deep into flowering, and closer to harvest.

Good luck
