I meant 50 gr of soap lol

Hi Buddy, first advice is not to be too much concerned about bited leaves as usually they will not die, at this moment your plant has only aesthetic damages. Your girl is attacked by grasshoppers/crickets and the only remedy in addition to neem oil is to shade the whole plant with a white mosquito net. Also you can surround the bottom with rock wool, this will prevent crawling creatures from passing under the net. The net will have very little influence on the amount of light the plant receives. Cheers

Hi :) I tried a mixture of alcool (400cc), Marseille soap (50 grazie) and water (200cc). You grind the soap and dilute it in hot water (don't put water+soap in the microwave I tried and it blew up lol). Then you let it cool a but and add the alcool. Spray it on the leaves (especially under the leaves) and on the stems but don't touch the buds. Treat in early morning/late evening. You may need a few applications to get rid of them. Ah yes, it may leave white soapy residues but it's no big deal. You could also try a very smelly garlic tea (just boil some cloves) or, if you have access to a field, some nettle tea (it smells so bad you'll want to die but it's almost magical). Good luck :)
