I use a simple measuring cup, the first thing is I put-in and stir the soap, and then I use a dropper to add the Neem. Neem always as last since you want to mix it into the soapy emulsion. By the way warm water works best! I am actually having "decent" results now also using plain tap water...so you might even be able to skip the bottled water. But when you see that the soap flakes, use bottled water. The emulsion should be a nice, milky white color.Do you mix the insecticidal soap with the neem oil in the same bottle or are you making two bottles, one for soap and one for neem oil?
You can. Blue dawn is the shit for killing fleas.Why can't you just use dish soap? Like dawn.
I don't think we have "Dawn" here, but I found the blue "multi-purpose" cleaner thing in a sprayer super-effective for ants tooYou can. Blue dawn is the shit for killing fleas.
I make my own insecticidal soap. 1/4 naptha laundry bar shaved and melted in a quart of water. Cool and store.
That is the concentrate. 1 teaspoon per quart for a spray.
Look into "clogged stomata."When I spray, it's slightly "milky" white, if you mean this with "white buildup"? I NEVER wash it off - this is the point, it needs to stay on the plants for max. effect.(I never had ANY negative effect on my plants from spraying with the soap and Neem, ever)
In regards to spraying in flower, it is never "recommended" to spray anything (on the buds) in flower, so if you can only spray the leaves but avoid the buds.
BUT...you have always the option to "wash your buds" in case you had to spray in flower this should get rid of anything you might have sprayed.
(Search "bud washing" in google since I am not sure whether it's allowed to link to another forum here. In a nutshell, you harvest and then dunk and swirl your buds in water with baking soda/lemon juice and then two times in clear water to really "wash" them) . It's actually effing easy.
