I had spidermites during veg from one of my clones, very very very minimal damage maybe two to three leaves... but i've been spraying neem + coco wet.. maybe for like a month and a half now and was wondering if i should just keep spraying or am i safe now?

I heard I can spray neem on plants up to fourth week of flower, but i'd rather not spray anything on them to be honest...

here are some pictures of all of them recent.

Yea up to the 4th week is fine. I would advise washing it off every couple of days though. Sometimes Neem can accumulate and build up in the stomata of the leaves depending on how much and often you spray them with it. It will also help to keep your crop tasting great.

To wash it off, I usually will just use PH 8.5 water with Coco Wet using this formula, the 8.5 water will prevent and kill any white powdery mildew, the CoCo Wet will obviously act as a surfactant breaking down the surface tension of the water into smaller droplets washing the neem oil off the leaves more effectively, and preventing light burn when spraying with the lights on.

I have had some severe cases where I have had to spray up until the very last week and had no adverse effects on my crop. I of course washed the plants off a few times in the days before harvest however.

So would you say in this sense it's completely fine to mist my plants then, i'm officially past week 2 of flowering, nothing too crazy going on yet.

Also, just to make sure.. You're agreeing with me about continuing to spray neem oil just to be sure yea? Or do you think i'm in the clear?
I didn't know that about it accumulating in the stomata that's probably why my hindu was so stunted early on, it brought spidermites and I misread the neem to gal of water and drowned it most likely.
thank you :]
