Absolutely. Just not in flower...

What kind of soap do you all use to mix neem oil

 

[pontiacman]

I use dawn but its not the greatest. Just a few drops.

Orginal dawn

 

[pontiacman]

Orginal dawn

Yes

 

[pontiacman]

An all organic soap would be best though...

I take it you are talking about spraying Neem on the plants?? I use Neem as a soil drench. Will control gnats and fungus in the soil, and the plant will take it up by the roots.

 

[Leopold Bloom]

Yes put it on yesterday noticed a bug munching

 

[philthegeek]

Have you identified the bug?? Can be important to know to work out how to control. Some can get out of hand pretty quickly.

Not yet but I noticed a small hole eating in the middle of my leaf

I use 1 drop of the blue Dawn dish soap with my neem oil. Another good step is to change it up a bit. I use a neem treatment then I will use some diatomaceous earth to treat a week later. Good luck!!!

Do you mix diatomaceous with water or what there is a lot of different kinds of it

I get a bag of it in powder form at the local home depot for $8. You can wet your leaves down and sprinkle on your leaves, or just sprinkle on your soil. If any bugs try crawling through it they will be ripped apart.

I'm growing in hydroponic ok to use it with that setup

That's a good question I'm not positive on the hydro. I would stick to neem with with a safe soap for now.

Spreading diatomaceous earth on top of soil is how its normally used. insects or their larvae emerging from the soil get cut up as at a micro level as is very sharp. Bit like what happens t your lungs if you breath volcanic ash. Unless your bugs have larvae in the media its probably not appropriate. Not heard of it being dusted on leaves...but probably wouldn't hurt. Be aware that its basically pure silica which some people add with their nutes. Not sure what the implications of that are for hydro.
