I used neem oil all the way through vegatation. What is a good preventative measure from flowering til the end to take? I have no insects or fungus at this point, id rather be proactive than reactive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Doesn’t hurt to have a few sticky traps in the tent as well, to catch any bugs that mange to find their way inside. Obviously not if you’re inserting predator insects.

Other than that, don’t get in your tent after working on plants outside. Keep the area clean, due diligence goes a long way. Put some type of screen on your intake. Things like that will help.

Also, I’m sure you know this, but DO NOT use neem oil on a flowering plant. Just wanted to mention that in case you didn’t know.

That shit works great for many things in veg, but can totally ruin a well grown plants flowers. Leaving a horrible taste…ask me how I know made that mistake once a few years ago. I’ll never make that same mistake again.

I also use neem through veg. Once flowers start forming, I cut out all sprays. You should be good for flower if you use IPM up to that point and keep a clean room. Just keep your environment on point and don't let the RH get too high during flower. I like HEPA filters for keeping spores out of the air too.

any of Dr. Brohnners soaps work pretty good.
