Ok… first I’d like to thank an ‘Anonymous Friend’ for producing this product. I ask that no members attempt to guess the name, please! He wants to remain anonymous, and that’s how it’ll be, thnx. This recipe is the culmination of literally months of research and work! Not by me… Here is my...overgrow.com
Its very important for me not to use store-bought neem oil because it is low-grade neem. I only used cold-pressed pure neem oil with a drop of dawn dish soap in warm water.ive tried the neem oil and dish soap method for 2 months with little results.
plus i tried black flag flea and tick.
Thanks for quick reply. I'm putting it use and will have update soon.
much appreciation
Were you aware that once mixed with water, neem oil is only good for 12-24 hours, so only mix what you are going to use right away.Its very important for me not to use store-bought neem oil because it is low-grade neem.

Yes, you are spot on when using cold-pressed neem. The mixture is only good for one application. The reason is the neem breaks down fast when mixed with warm water and dish soap.Were you aware that once mixed with water, neem oil is only good for 12-24 hours, so only mix what you are going to use right away.
Loc Dog did you get rid of those nasties that came to you last spring? I got them from that same guy on strainly those were my first round with them in 20 yrs/ever, took me months to rid my place of them. Wound up going total nuclear I won.Were you aware that once mixed with water, neem oil is only good for 12-24 hours, so only mix what you are going to use right away.
I’ve used avid very judiciously 10 years ago. Do not mix that stuff any stronger than the ingredients tell you to mix and be aware that it’s got at least a 30 day half-life so you cannot put it into flowering plant. You had mentioned that three plants don’t have the mites. If you look close enough, you’ll see they do have the mites if they share the same room or area. When you go after them hit them hard and then shut down for a while, but disinfect before you shut down… don’t play games with mites. If you don’t get them on the first go around, they’ll be back for more.Abamectin (Avid is the most common US brand I believe) will destroy even the most stubborn infestation of mites, of any kind. There is nothing better for getting rid of a mite infestation out there. It's not 'organic' like neem, but if you don't care about that, (the black flag tells me you don't) it is a 'safe and approved' horticultural miticide for plants that are intended to be consumed, just ensure you follow instructions and hold off period recommendations.
