What helps longer? Neem seed meal or azamax?

1707842544920.jpeg aza.jpgI'm in soil. I do not spray pesticides when in flower. I have used H2O2 when in flower. You can call that a pesticide, but it doesn't affect flavor. Can you top dress neem seed meal when in flower? Does it really keep thirps down? How well does it work with spider mites? I've used azamax and it works really well. I'm just trying to prevent as much as possible. I grow sativas and they take a long time to flower. I never have a problem in veg, but in flower I am hypervigilant. Yes, I've tried pepper juice spray, but that makes the smoke a little funky. It does work and the smoke still works. I just want to know if anyone has used this neem seed meal in the soil and if I need to top dress when in flower. I start flowering at the end of May and my plants are not done until November. It has to do with where I live and the amount of sun my girls get. It works for me.

neem seed meal is a good N source and organic material for your soil but to get decent levels of azadirachtin to your plants above ground tissue you need to use a lot imo. if the sole purpose of you adding neem is to protect against pests you can also do soil drench with azamax. it will likely cost more money but the concentrated azadirachtin will be taken up better and distributed better through above ground plant tissue.

@crimsonecho Thank you for letting me know about the nitrogen. I don't think I need more nitrogen. I just saw this stuff on Amazon.Untitled-1.jpg Has anyone used it? It is half the price of azamax. The hydro store that I got azamax last year closed. I went to the last hydro store in town and they don't carry azamax. We had five hydroponics stores in town and the local chain sold out to growgeneration two years ago. Now we have one, Mighty Hydro. GrowGeneration treated me well. The owner would give me good deals, but I think they were doing that with everyone. They say they have a store in the outskirts of our county, thirty miles away, but I went there a half an hour before they were supposed to close and the store was closed. Hour and a half in some shitty traffic, and all I got was some avacados from a road side stand. If it weren't for good luck, I'd have no guacamole at all.

i havent used this one but azamax ecogarden whatever they are just diluted versions of neemazal technical. i used neemazal before not technical but consumer version. they all the same if its cheaper at similar concentration of azadirachtin i’d go for it.

If you mix pyrethrin/pyrethrum or B.Bassiana with the azirdiractin at application, or alternate them, you'll get a much higher mortality rate.
They have a synergistic effect, weakening the bug's defenses, attacking thru different modes of action.
Just use the lower application rate when tank mixing compatible chemicals.
