Is Neem Oil Soap safe while budding?

I noticed some spider mites on my outdoor girls.

So im wondering if neem oil & soap spray would be okay for the plant while its in middle of flowering.

I know a lot people use it without issues but I can always tell if cold pressed neem oil was used in flower. It imparts a nasty taste.


If you can get your hands on it, maybe try Green Cleaner or Dr Zymes instead?

Consider Botanigard. Biological. Non-toxic for humans and animals. Can be used safely up to the day of harvest. Expensive but it’s worth it. Certified organic for use on food crops. Then I rinse my chopped buds in clean cold water and some hydrogen peroxide before hanging to dry.

Early in flower predator mites can be effective but in practice you need about twice as many as you have spider mites. Otherwise it can take a while to work.

There’s people using it to wipe out bed bugs apparently.

Citric acid.. 2-3 tsp per qt..

Citric acid. Same active ingredient that's in Dr Zymes and NukEm.
