How early can I spray neem?

Hey all, got a lil lady that’s just hitting her one week mark & I’m wondering- what’s the earliest you can spray neem for preventive purposes? I’ve only ever used it during mid/late veg. let me know!

You can spray now and should do so every 10 days. I recommend a slightly different recipe tho. 3 caps of neem oil, 1-2 drops of dish soap, 1 quart of lukewarm water.

lukewarm is the most important part of the recipe, as neem oil is systemic and must be absorbed which is easier at warmer temps. The soap helps to break down the oil, allowing it to pass through more easily.
