I’ve used gardensafe products before in emergencys i would start with that the neem oil should do great. . .don’t over do it just a good coat NO DRIPS!

And those are concentrates you need to follow the directions on that bottle to the T. . . go a little less strength if your worried

Ok good to know I will spray them tonight it just stopped raining so I will wait till thay dry will the neem oil help prevent mold cuz I’m getting a lot of rain and high humidity here in Florida

Neem oil is labeled for control of powdery mildew, rust, blackspot, botrytis, downy mildew and other diseases. Spraying every 7 to 14 days is recommended.- another Google finger save :wink:

Cierto: Malathion es un veneno para todas las clases de animales, incluidos humanos (hasta cancerígeno por inhalación y disruptor hormonal), mientras que el neem y el Bacillus T solo son perjudiciales para los insectos que comen la planta afectada…

True, @cannabissequoia : Malathion is a poison for all kinds of animals, including humans (even carcinogenic by inhalation and hormonal disruptor), while Neem and Bacillus T are only harmful to insects that eat the affected plant …

“Mine” neem’s flour or dust:

Cricketts are its favorite food. They are fierce and strong, not to mention dangerous, the L5 and L6 ones are even dangerous, if they wanna hurt you, they will. But not much, i mean for its size can do tremendous amount of damage!

The caterpillars can be controlled with Bt, but grasshoppers are very difficult to deal with. Anything with enough residual strength to kill grasshoppers is not something to apply to Cannabis. Contact killers are ineffective because grasshoppers are mobile and very tough to kill. You would have better results using a bait for the hoppers.

@MiG …i believe, however, the oil’s mode-of-action (function) is to asphyxiate(choke) the bugs? as it is with other horticultural oil(?).

personally, i use a neem oil with pyrethrin (Monterey brand Rose & Flower Spray plus) up to pistil formation, then a bit more bT(Safer brand) and no more spray weeks 3->>>|

Al menos cuando es aplicado en el riego y absorbido por las raíces de la planta, el neem es sistémico.
Combinado con piretrinas, se produce sinergia y ambos efectos se refuerzan.
Yo no uso piretrinas sintéticas, por cierto, sino naturales de crisantemo.

At least when it is applied in the irrigation and absorbed by the roots of the plant, the neem is systemic. Combined with pyrethrins, synergy is produced and both effects are reinforced. I do not use synthetic pyrethrins, by the way, but natural chrysanthemums.
