I've been using safer brand neem oil mixed with dawn soap and warm water. About 3 tbsp in 32oz bottle. It hasn't really been working, the day after application ive seen webs over my 3 week old plants. I've been using every 2 days and no progress.Other than it burning my plants. Plants look very heat stressed now.
1.) How can I rid of these mites without harming my plants?
2.) What can I do to help it recover from the damage from the neem?

Use something with spinosad. Try only neem, no soap. I alternate between neem and spinosad and it works for me.

I've used both Mighty Wash and Azamax with great success. Those plants are still small, so it should be a manageable situation

Buy a product called BANG!. It is the only thing that has always worked immediately for me. Great stuff.

Okay I sprayed some strong pesticide on and around my pots. Then I misted a much heavier neem mix on the plants. Im gonna post some more pics tomorrow.

I don't mean to hijack the thread bro, but I am interested in fellow RIU growers experience with neem oil extract for both pests as well as a preventive for pm and other mold/budrot/boytritis.

I've researched and results seem to be all over the fucking place. Anybody have any positive results using neem?

with a plant that small you could gently spray the bottoms of the leaves lightly wipe them off. GL

New cuttings introduced to the garden are treated with neem and it's worked great for me. I use it as a preventative as well, better to prevent then try to cure. I use dynagros neem though.

Not sure about it to prevent pm? If it changes the ph of the leaf blades surface then it could work? You would still need to correct environmental conditions regardless. Or you're destined for pm.

Only use 100% cold pressed neem oil, which I believe safer brand is not. Ahimsa organics or Dynagro neem is a much better option.
