Questions about using Neem drench+foliar

Ok so I have been using neem oil as soil drenches and foliar sprays for my ladies outdoors. I spray once or twice a week with emulsified neem oil(for cats, SM)+seaweed(foliar feed)+B.T.(for caterpillars). This is my 1st real attempt outdoors and so I have a few questions for all of you pros.............

1) I have read conflicting info about when to stop spraying the plants. Most of the girls r in early flowering now and i was wondering whether any of u had any bad experiences with spraying neem oil based foliars till late flower?
I may add some potassium bicarbonate to the sprays later on when the weather gets wetter to ward off any mildew or mold issues but i noticed that the seaweed makes the spray very alkaline anyways which should create shitty conditions for mould growth as well. I plan to stop spraying anything for the last 2 weeks.
Any thoughts?

2) I had a concern that due to neem being an oil, it may strip off some resin or thc as it is oil soluble. Is this a concern?

3) Should i be pH'ing my foliar sprays? Again i have read conflicting info and i felt that leaving the pH quite high from the seaweed would help ward off fungus on wetter days.

Thanks in advance ppl..its good to be back :woohoo:
