Neem, water and sulfactant. Heard it works wonders for pests when used as a soil drench in addition to foliar, but some people say it will get absorbed by the roots and affect the taste. Is this true?

Neem meal is a fairly common soil amendment. Who's saying a neem drench will affect the taste?

Just mix some up in a spray bottle and spray the top of the grow medium. Spider mites don't burrow.

They don’t need neem
A little diametrious (sp) earth on pots surface and a citrus spray will accomplish eradication without effecting taste

I've never known neem root drench to affect flavor even in late flower, just don't spray it on your buds.
