To the original poster to many amateurs that think they know about growing pot. Look at the year they joined this forum's and many others.
Look at the genetics that they post and how they grow.
Now that is said!
So here is what real growers in warhouses and also in greenhouses use for there plants.
Often times they will start with nematodes and add it to the media. This goes after the larva and pupae. The neems go into their mouths, and other body openings.

Most neems are sold in 5000, this is for larger size grows.
5000 will usually cover a 1000 sq ft area.
Again add this to your media to start,
Next you add the Cucumeries to your leaves, and they will eat the adult pest of your plants..
Scmitus eat pest that are in your media aswell.
" So don't listen to any bullshit these non experienced growers are telling you prevention" These products are what the big boys use for real!
Rant over continued lesson..

The size above is for small warehouses..
But I will show you how they put them on the plants:

The Cucumeries go directly on your plant and will go after thrips and fungus gnats.
The Scimitus gets added to your soil usually after you have run neems through it.
The scimitus go after pupae and other small pest in the soil.
If you eradicate stuff from your media initially, it is easy to take care of the pest on the leaves.
Again these products have to be ordered directly from this company as most predatory mites!
People get pest from clones, media and other sources, but what I speak on is A complete start to finish.
Now let's see these people speak there bullshit whatever they were saying about predators when I showed you each stage.
From media to leaves care only with preds!!
