In need of advice

Hey everyone, I've got 2 gorilla glue clones growing outdoors at the moment and they are behind where i think they should be, only started budding late last month and they aren't filling out as quickly as I'd hoped, im using 50/50 mushroom compost and premium potting mix, 1 in a fabric pot that has the size i was expecting at this stage but is taking its sweet time filling out the buds, the other was given to me by a friend at 2 months old still in its seedling pot so it was extremely rootbound, ive put it in a 70/30 mix of potting mix and mushie compost in a pot filled with holes, my big girl also has a pretty bad fungal gnat problem that im trying to treat with neem oil, however the last week or so I've seen evidence of spider mites joining the party, any and all advice or tips would be very much appreciated, thanks :)

Neem should not be used on flowers, some folks have a bad reaction to it when smoked. I use ISO and tap water recommended 1part ISO to 8 parts water, I use 50/50.
 
ISO is, I believe, isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol. In the US, it is commonly retailed in 70% and 90 or 95% strengths.
 
its nice to see someone is warm were have a blizzard here in NE ,your girls are doing fine , how much sun do they get I noticed last year my green and clear greenhouse cover caused some loss of bulk ,try moving them away from the fence during the day
 
Reactions can be mild to deadly, Yes Rubbing alcohol from any store, remember denatured has a poison in it and is commonly blue or green. You may have issue finding any over 70%, but it is fine.
 
Always a warm day in Australia :) thanks for the advice, at the moment they get anywhere from 8-12 hours of sun depending when I wake up, then they go into a pitch black wardrobe for the night, and in the spot they're in in the photos above the sun stays dead above them for most of the day, do you think the fungal gnats could be a factor in them budding so slowly? My friend has a clone from the same batch as mine and it's 2-3x thicker than mine
 
Damn, how often deadly? And do you think a month and a half is enough time for the neem to be flushed out? I'll have to look into getting isoprpyl when I have money next, things are tight with covid, so I should look for a high purity one that's clear? Or do you mean I should use blue/green ones? Sorry for all the questions, first home grow, all other grows have been in the middle of the bush 1hr away so they were just kind of set and forget
 
Don't use isopropyl alcohol with any coloring added, only use clear and colorless. 70% is fine and it's cheap, like about $4/liter (quart), at the drugstore.
