when to start adding Neem Oil?

[SweetSoca]

how old do the plants have to be before you start adding neem oil to their feed? i dont have any pests or anything but I heard its beneficial for the plants to receive some neem during veg.

I've never heard of adding NEEM to food, but there are a lot of things I've never heard of.

Where did you hear this?

:farm: Do you mean to spray on them? If so, I spray them with neem oil once they have established a decent root system and are close to a foot tall. I spray them twice in veg and sometimes once at the very begging of flowering. It helps against certain pests and mildew. Hope this helps.

Neem meal is a nutrient additive. Rainbow mix contains it for example. Neem oil is meant as a spray mixed thoroughly with water.

Neem oil is something to use as an organic bug killer....the only thing I have found to be beneficial to add to your water throughout your plants life is H202. Your roots will love you!

I do not spray or use any insecticide until I see that I have a insect problem. For a preventive I use a process of just keeping my grow room clean.

I've tried adding carbonated water to my mix with my first indoor grow, I found it to be a waste of money. Thats just my oppinion. It was also a pita to try and get the pH adjusted to where the plant could use it.

I bet, but I'm talking Hydrogen Peroxide. It oxygenates your water and keeps your roots nice and healthy. POT just loves it!You have to make sure to get the concentrated 33% stuff and use 3ml /gallon of water. The cheap stuff is full of other crap.

Not sure why anyone would tell you to use carb water.
