Instead of spending so much on the Aza products you can make neem tea. Place 1 cup of neem cake into a 5 gallon compost tea brewer, and bubble for 36-48 hours.
Soil drench 3 times 3-4 days apart and everything in the root zone is out of there. Then soil drench once per week for maintenance.
If you want to foliar spray cut it in half with water. Then spray weekly.
Much cheaper.
This phrase on their labeling has ruined more cannabis and poisoned more people than I care to think about. I can taste and feel that stuff on my tongue after 70 days of flowering... Up till the day of harvest my ass. Well, yeah... for stuff like APPLES or CUCUMBERS or any other fruit/veggie that you can wash off and aren't going to smoke.GH2045 General Hydroponics said:AzaMax comes in a 4 oz bottle and is designed for use as a insecticide spray. It is safe to use on plants from germination all the way through harvest time. AzaMax's active ingredient, Azadirachtin, is derived from naturally occurring neem trees. Whether you're having problems with bagworms, moths, caterpillars, or spider mites, AzaMax is one of the most effective products for fast, organic pest control.
Neem tea is much stronger than neem oil mixed into water. I use it up to one week to the end of flower.
Yes, and Yes...The clean game
I think the topic is neem oil?
Unless you are responding to zepplen's post, which I doubt they will see since it's from a few years ago
Woop
I used to tell people to use a 5ml/gal root drench or add to the res the first day of flower. That's bad advice... put a lot of people in hospital over the last few years.
Azadirachtin is bad news folks... learn it now or learn it later. Your choice.
The issue of the extract is such that it's important to be listed in every thread where azamax, aza-sol, azatrol or any other azadirachtin product is mentioned.
I have yet to test neem itself since I gained the awareness of the beastliness of the extract. Hoping it's as benign as it should be...
My experience has been the opposite. 15ml/gallon with 5ml dawn coated and choked out my roots. Stunted my plants, caused new growth to come in so thin and spindly the leaves were like pins. It looked like nitrogen tox only the leaves curled in not down if that makes sense. Pure cold pressed neem is effective and invaluable, but can be overdonegood info in this thread
i use neem for foliar and as a drench-same dilution for both, 5ml/L with a drop of detergent/wetting agent. As for how often to appy: I used it 2-3times a week when watering everyday for a few weeks in veg-then re-apply if any beasties were spotted during the grow
as an experiment once i massivily overdosed a few small plants with a root drench and saw no ill effects at all
overdoseing with foliar is not a good idea
