So after I saw a couple adult thrips on the seedling leaves this morning, I knew I needed to treat them today!
I know some folks get "bugged" about bugs with organic grows. I'm not concerned about it honestly. I will be drenching my soil with SNS209 moving forward as a preventative. That does take time to work, so before it gets any worse, treatment is required.
I want to be sure to include a big thanks to EcoWorks EC for being a sponsor to this site! I was fortunate to get a sample via a contest. I could not find their profile though...
It looks like an amazing product and it's organic. I have multiple neem based products in my arsenal for almost all my pest management in my outdoor gardens and fruit trees. I must be honest though, that I am not thrilled with an unknown 30% of ingredients. I will trust that it will perform its task and leave my plants safe and sound. For a small at home garden, this 2oz bottle is perfect.
Application Details:
Indoor foliar applications should be diluted at 10mL per gallon of water. 5.5 - 7.0 pH water at 68° - 95° is what is recommended for mixing. It mentions that all product should be used immediately after mixing or at a maximum of 24 hours. It mentions to apply 2-3 times in a 7-10 period. I will be doing this every 3 days for the next 9 days.
Knowing I would only be using a small amount, I decided to only dilute 1ml of the Ecoworks EC to just over 10 oz of RO water (5.6 pH). I warmed the water up to just over 90°. I shook the hell out of the water bottle and started spraying.
Anyone that has worked with cold pressed neem oil, knows how much of a pain in the ass it can be to make a good emulsion to spray. Warm water always helps the process. Also, if you are making your own spray from pure neem oil, be sure to add a drop or two of liquid soap or something like yucca extract for the saponin. This will assist in the emulsion process and with it stay on the leaves longer.
