If anyone uses neem oil you will want to stockpile some. I was at my local hydro shop and they had no neem oil and told me it is no longer going to be availabe in canada untill they can register it as a insecticide, as it is only registered as a leaf shine. I went to all hydro shops in town and only found 3 big bottles. The price on the 3 bottles was already put up to $50. Just a heads up

It helps with mites and other pests. Spray it on the plants and usually that is enough to deter all of which we hate.
Yep and you can use it in flower

I don't know what I would do without it, glad I am not in Canada. You may still be able to order it online though, from Amazon or ebay maybe. Good luck canucks.

maybe it's just the horticultural grade/brands? the lady i get my lotion-making supplies carries it and hasn't said anything about discontinuing it. she charges me less than i used to pay for einstein oil too.

Banned all around. It has to go through testing to prove it's safety (despite thousands of years of safe use) because other chemicals had to. I was told by a local organic farmer that he had a great source and it would never dry up and that I was crazy when I mentioned it. Next time I come back he's like "Yeah, can't get neem anymore".
Maybe ask your lady. I'll drive to Seattle and bring it back if I have to. I'm sure it will make it through the mail. Don't pay 50 bucks a bottle, tell the hydro stores to shove up their asses respectively.
The other thing I considered was trying to get some neem seed and growing it out myself.

The stock on shelves isn't being pulled, it just won't be replaced.

I found out a month ago,my local store had some 1 liter bottles for a really high price,can't remember.
but I drove a little farther,found 500ml botanicare neem oil for 7.99 I bought three.
i have only ever needed the stuff once but it saved my ass when I used it in veg,don't know how it works in bloom.
i would try to avoid any spraying in bloom

I use Green Light brand Neem Oil concentrate. Wettable Sulphur is also a good option. During veg and early flower I use Bonide Fruit Tree Spray and near harvest I use a weak solution of Captan.
