Spraying plants with 3 things tomorrow

Hey guys,
 
Tomorrow is a crazy day for my peppers ...
 
I fertilize my pepper plants every 3 weeks on sunday,
I spray my pepper plants every 2 weeks with epsom salt on sunday AND,
I spray my pepper plants with neem oil and soap every week on sunday. ( for aphids )
And tomorrow all 3 are on the agenda :p
 
Now ... i wonder if this won't be to much and how i should best approach this, any advice would be super !
 
Also can i stop spraying neem oil and soap if i don't see any more eggs, but just some random aphids ?
Or should i keep spraying neem oil ?
 
Thank you !
Peter.
 
Aphids tend to slow down, or disappear, in the hottest parts of the summer.
 
I'd skip the neem and epsom salt for a week or more. And if it were me, i would concentrate on fertilizing the soil, so the plants can feed the traditional way.
 
I fertilize and medicate as needed, plants nutrient uptake differs with weather, heat and size. Pests are only sprayed when present......too easy to overdue or under due if you try and put everything on a rigid schedule.
 
Ok thanks guys,
 
i will stop spraying neem oil and epsom salt.
 
So just fertilizer tomorrow, they look super healthy and green so epsom salt is not needed i guess.
Thanks !
 
EDIT: @Jetchuka yeah i meant i fertilize with water and put that in the soil, not spray.
