I dunno, but I would not use Neem.
In fact, I can easily say that I HATE NEEM and will not allow it in the grow area.
If you're gonna use oil, use one that won't mess your flower up. SNS is an oil, and dish soap and water mixture. So is Lost Coast Plant Therapy ... just oil and soap and water.
Or you can save hundreds ... and make your own. Look up the recipe.
Please throw away the Neem, and join us in the 21st century.
It will taste a lot better.

I keep pests like those thrips away with a mixture of neem + safer soap in say 500 ml of warm water in a spray bottle. The whole plant gets drenched, on boths sides of the leaves. The insecticidal soap is harmless to humans and it kills pests if sprayed directly onto any bugs on the plant. The neem is absorbed into the leaves and kills bugs munching on your plant. So there is a double whammy effect: bugs exposed to the soap, and bugs that arrive later that lasts for several weeks. Neem breaks down after about two weeks, so I do re-apply several times up until about the 5th week of flowering so that by harvest time the neem has broken down. I've used this mixture for years now in my outdoor balcony grows and never had any serious issues with bugs. There are those folks who say they don't like neem but there isn't much reason not to like it, at least I haven't seen those reasons. It's not harmful, it breaks down, and it does the job.
