Question about neem oil usage.

Currently I am using a spray mixture of neem oil and pyrethrum to kill spider mites. My girls are at the flowering stage and I was wondering if I need to spray on the flower as well as the bottom and on top of the leaves, and how often do i need to apply on the plant? Help please.

i wouldnt use neem oil past week 5 of flowering...

if you have really good ventilation and air circulation you can spray both the undersides and lightly spray the flowers..

if your vent/air cir is not so good i would stick with just the undersides..

you can also root feed the neem oil to your plants with every feeding to help out also... just give your plant 1 to 2 tablespoons per gallon of water with each feeding to further assist in getting rid of the mites..

you can spray every 3 to 4 days for the first couple weeks, then cut back to once a week once the pests are in check..

My girls are at 5 weeks into flowering....and I sprayed on the top and bottom of the leaves, and pretty sure I got some on the flower as well(accident)..... are my girls going to be ok?
Should be fine. It's either treat them with something or lose your crop. You may get a funky taste but you should be o.k.

Would I be able to get rid of the funny taste by flushing my girls?

I would definitely recommend a good flush. It's hard to say if you can get rid of it totally, on the other hand you may not even be able to tell you used anything. Keep a fan going 24/7 so you don't get mold from the treatments. Remember you'll probably have to treat a couple of times at least. When you get finished with this grow you are gonna want to completely bomb the shit out of your room and clean it thoroughly. Best of luck.
