I really don't like to go more than 2 tablespoons per gallon...so that's one ounce per gallon. You wanna use one ounce per quart? I think that might be a little strong.

I just made a fresh batch this A.M.

1 tablespoon in 1 quart... I believe that's considered full strength (Garden Safe brand)

BTW, 1 oz = 2 tablespoons

Actually, if you're putting 1 ounce in 32 ounces of water, that's 4x the amount Imaulle is using, since a quart is 32 ounces and a gallon is 128. If you already sprayed with a concentrated solution, and you don't see side effects, why are you asking us? If you use too much neem, you risk clogging the plants stomata and suffocating it. RISK...not DEFINATE. So just cause you do spray with a concentrated solution, that doesn't mean it's GOING to hurt the plant, it just has the POSSIBILITY of doing so.
