I had to use neem oil to kill off spider mites at the beginning of flowering. I just harvested first plant, trimmed, dried, and now curing in jars. I also washed the weed prior to drying.
When I opened jars this morning there was a neem scent in the jars. I rolled one up and blazed and I’m incredibly medicated right now, glued to the chair.
Neem oil makes weed taste nasty. If you use it, you must give the weed a ahower in tepid water and then place plant in front of many fans to dry off residual dampness quickly.
