Is Azamax systemic

[DaFreak]

So recently somebody said that Azamax was systemic and was very angry when I said I didn't think it was. Azamax claims this....

"This is extracted from the neem seed kernel, through patented extraction technology. AzaMax® works systemically to provide greater bio-efficacy against a broad spectrum of Insect-Pests including foliar sucking and defoliating insect-pest complex, mites and soil-borne insectpests & nematodes. AzaMax® formulation possesses important features such as UV stability and shelf stability of 2 years. AzaMax® is OMRI listed and licensed in all 50 states."

Maybe I am wrong but I thought systemic meant that it would move through the plant and tissues. For example, you could use it in feeding and it would work it's way up the plant and treat the whole plant. That has never been my experience with Azamax. I have always used it as a contact killer with some residual effects. So what gives? Is the meaning of systemic not what I believe it to be or is this just a sales pitch by the company? Has anybody been able to use it like a systemic working pesticide?

I will never knowingly smoke bud from plants treated with azamax or any neem derived product again after the experience I had early last year and the year before. I was extremely sick and my symptoms vanished when I switched to a higher end dispensary that didnt use neem oil.

Cannabis plants absorb it, unlike most of the produce plants the testing is done on. The evidence that neem products arent as safe for using with cannabis as has been widely accepted has been piling up over the last year or so. I'd take a real hard look at using that as a general preventative pesticide. It's been linked to CHS and many believe that azadirachtin toxicity is actually the primary cause of CHS.

I’ve been using neem for 20 years and never had a problem but I’m also not a heavy smoker, joint a day is enough for me. Not what the topic is about though.

Only used once and worked great.. but wash out vigorously and more often than prescribed

I only use azamax if I got a long time to veg still I like it but just make sure you don't throw the plant into flower when u hit it with the azamax the same day I like to give them 4 weeks before they go into flower

I use it all the time in veg up to I lollipop and flip. All new growth after that, but again the thread is about thoughts on its systemic abilities.

Damn, 4 weeks? I'm about to try it on some plants for the first time, early/ mid veg... Dont think I can let em all go 4 more weeks, they'll out grow my space! Hope I can completely kill these shits, preferably in under 2 weeks

I meant till budding once their budding I don't want it in their system my personal opinion if their in flower I'll use gnatrol or something along those lines.

I sprayed them pretty well with neem oil and pro-tekt last night and was surprised with how many mites still seem fine today, will it hurt to spray again today or should I wait another day? Im kinda bummed to find out the main ingredient in azamax is the primary compound in neem oil, thought I was gonna hit em with something different.

Also, my local grow shop has a shit selection.
