Neem Oil taste nasty to the bugs so it's more of a preventer if that. Azatrol stops them from growing (screws up there hormones) and they die in what ever stage of growth they are in, so no eggs. Spider mites will be like a pissed off army if not taken out of the garden 100% One female can lay over a dozen eggs daily and in less than 7 days you have over 70 new spider mites, most being females.

im pretty sure azatrol is pretty much what is in neem oil... Azadirachtin. watering it into the soil is much more effective than foliar spraying. atleast with what i saw. i know it can be easier to foliar spray when u have good size farms or greenhouses, but it really soaks into the plant through the soil. i just make sure to get rid of everything because i try not to let any gnarly chems touch my babies

and dont use tobacco! how many harmful additives are there in tobacco.......? IMHO i wouldnt put that shit near my crops

Well there seems to be alot of confusion about Neem oil. The Azadirachta indica is what is refered to as the "Neem Plant". Products bearing the Aza prefix of the name is NEEM oil. Azatrol, Gnatrol, its all mostly neem oil. As you can tell by the name it has alot in common with the cannabis plant. It grows in the same region where many of worlds stongest indicas are from. Interesting enough, the active ingredent in Neem, the Azadirachtin, is produced in the same way as THC is produced in cannabis. Its a product of the a secondary metabolit ( when the plant breaths, the waste product oxeygen is used to make Azadirachtin). Same thing in the pot plant with THC. Funny enough, the active ingredent works on bugs much like the way THC works on humans. It's molecular structure is very similar to a hormone in the bugs and it covers receptors in their brains. It fools the bugs into thinking its time to mate when they are not ready. This prevents them from doing many things: eating (they dont suck the sap out of your leaves), laying eggs (stops the life cycle), prevents the the exoskelotons for thickening and hardening (they puncture and die easily). Its organic and very safe on your plants. Also, it wont hurt your lady bug friends. The Neem plant and the Cannabis plant have been used hand in hand for thousands of years and its still one of the best things you use on you plants today. Here's link: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/houseplt/msg111733153759.html Give it read. I'm sure it will go along way to calming you fears of whats best to use for you plants.

Very nice grow. Good luck and hope you can solve the mite problem.

About the average life cycle is 18 days. I think your neem/soap and natural preditors will keep them at bay at least. Good luck.

well i have had this garden for two years now and iwhen the holes were dug i bought rabbit fencing(with squares about a 1/2"x1/2"). It got a lil late in the year so i never put them in. this yr. i (my brother dug them:) )added 6 holes so i (me lol) dug out a third of the dirt and amended it and added fresh dirt to fill. still never put the fencing in and have not had a problem. so wish me luck. one of my ladys did pass away at about 6' tall(rip). but i think it was because the stem split and i taped it up. it healed well but i forgot to loosen the tape. so i think i killed it :(.
thanks for the post!

Great looking grow! You got them things bushy as hell. :bigjoint:

I am planning on picking up some Neem Oil myself. Is it really safe or effective to mix into the water that I use to feed the plants? I thought it was just a foliar spray.



P.S. Cute Freckles :hump:

Watering the neem in will aid in running the bugs out and keeping them away... Most likely gnats, and other bugs that could be living in the medium.... I use neem on my leaves, especially the bottom sides of the leaves when dealing with mites.... I dont know about the tobbacco.... My attack plan: I start with watering neem into the medium. I usually wipe down all or as much as possible with a wet sponge.... every leaf top and bottom ideally.... Then apply neem to the underside and top of the leaves.....
