Im trying to find an alternate product that does the same job as neem oil but that it is safe for the flowering proccess since neem oil leaves a taste on the buds if they are sprayed with neem oil.

I have been told and have read that Rosemary oil is a good substitute for Neem Oil. When mixing Rosemary Oil in water and a drop of dish washing soap to the water to help the Rosemary oil from separating from the water that you mixed it with. I would also tell you if you are using anything to kill pests, when you harvest your plants do a bud wash to remove the insecticide and dead bugs. I have also been told and read that Tea Tree oil mixed the same way will help with fungus problems on your plants.

So if i wanted to keep using neem oil all i gotta do at the end after cutting it is prep it for drying by washing it?

Here is a video on it. If you’re growing outdoors you should always do a bud wash in my opinion.

I think so. I just prefer buds that don’t have nasty residue like oils or dead bugs and bug poop on them! Lol!

Im not sure that neem is safe to use on a flowering plant. I believe neem oil is banned for any stage of growth in Canada

U can get captain jacks dead bug and use that til day of harvest. Also Dr zymes is supposed to be safe til day of harvest. I use blue magic which contains a little bit of soybean oil otherwise I’ve used it on all plants with any issues blue magic works great against wpm also. One spray and done here usually unless I miss spots by not being super thorough
