GH2045 AzaMax, 4 Ounce, Orange

I've been at war with aphids, trips, mealybugs, and white flies all spring and summer! Until a week ago when found this product. I tried freakin everything!! Dead bug brew, neem oil, neem max, 4in1 Bee safe, diluted peroxide, diluted alcohol, soap sprays... EVERYTHING! Nothing worked half as well as this! It's not cheap, but everything else was a waist of money! I did the soil drench and foliage at .5oz per gallon day one. And again on day 4 at .25oz per gallon. Day 8... No freakin bugs!! Wish I had found it sooner!

This stuff works GREAT! Ive used it on cannabis as well as a wide verity of plants. Tomatoes, peppers, and flowers like Sunflowers. All have had great results. I've grown and use it with and without and could not taste or smell any difference in the fruits or flowers the plant provides. It comes in a easy pour bottle that allows you to measure out perfectly how much you need. There hasn't been a bug it hasn't kept off. Seriously.

I was skeptical. I have a large indoor grow room with many tropicals, peppers, and overwintering tomato. I've used various methods to control aphids and mites, inc H oil, insecticidal soap, spinosad, pyrethrin, neem, and physical methods like CO2 chambers and daily washing of leaves. None were ineffective, but none reduced the population low enough to call them 'elimimated'. Usually they bought time, sometimes only days or a week, and cumulatively damaged the foliage while knocking down the pests. They also often left unpleasant smells, residues, or were a concern around pets, requiring me to seal the room for days. I saw AzaMax recommended, and researched what it actually was. It seemed expensive, but compared to the volume of neem required for similar action, I felt it was reasonable. As an extract there are no smells or issues with emulsifying oils. Based on a tip, I combined AzaMax with Beauveria bassinia spores in a spray bottle (they are compatible, in my experience). I sprayed thoroughly over all plants hosting aphids. This combo treatment ceased aphid feeding immediately and led to aphid death within days, and my plants didn't even notice - it was like water to them. Two treatments a week apart finally freed my room from aphid explosions, and when they did show up I was able to prune selectively, as they were sluggish, slow to reproduce, and did not spread. I can now say that it is actually possible to eliminate aphids indoors completely, even when they are widespread. A single treatment wipes out spider mites completely. They are even less resilient than aphids to the combo approach. This has significantly reduced my stress and increased my enjoyment of my hobby.

I BOUGHT TWO YOUNG SANSEVIERA PLANTS FROM A LARGE-VOLUME HYBRIDIZER/SELLER IN FLORIDA. ALONG WITH THE PLANTS CAME A FAMILY OF 100,000 TINY APHIDS, WHO ALL PRODUCED 1,000,000 OFFSPRING. THIS PRODUCT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE INFESTATION THAT SPREAD FROM THE 'FLORIDA' PLANTS TO OTHER SANSEVIERAS IN MY HOME. IT'S NOT AN 'INSTANT KILL' PRODUCT, BUT IT VERY QUICKLY REDUCED THE EXPONENTIAL MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM. "HAFER 3" X 5" DOUBLE-FACED FLY PAPER, STRATEGICALLY LOCATED AROUND AND AMONGST MY COLLECTION HAS WORKED WELL IN CONJUNCTION WITH DEEP WATERING AND MISTING WITH THE HYDROFARM GH2045.

I can say, to anyone who reads online and goes nuts trying to figure out how to get rid of those pesky little mites, that may be eating away at your garden... this has helped. When using this, I would mix up the 8 -marker (8oz Im guessing) dose, along with some 91% isopropyl alcohol (maybe 10% of the 24oz container I would mix it in. After treating the garden space with this mixture, every 3-5 days for a month, they were completely gone. The alcohol helps kill more instantly, and the Azamax helps disrupt their ability to reproduce. Although I considered more dramatic measures like ladybugs, this mix helped the most, and took care of the problem mixed w/ alcohol. Make sure to thoroughly cover the leaves and everything when spraying, and the problem should be easily solved for you as well. I am sharing this b/c I too had frantically looked for solutions online, and wasted money on other methods. Then I read some interesting info posted on a university study, which used a combination of reproduction disruption, with an instant kill solution... and I figured that the two ingredients would be along the same lines. I was right, and I hope to pass this knowledge on to others who have been apprehensive due to cost and the mix of success stories. I do not feel the alcohol alone would have done the job.

Quality products great price fast shipping

AzaMax is a great product and General Hydroponics has great products from my experience thus far. Mine came exactly as described, with very detailed instructions. The instructions include directions for foliar application, as well as hydroponic and soil/medium application. It also includes an extensive list of all the creatures AzaMax controls. IIRC AzaMax works by introducing pheromones that disrupt the pests ability to mate, lay eggs, and molt, among other things. The directions indicate that it's important that no one is allowed in the area AzaMax is applied in for at least 4 hours (Possibly only applies to foliar usage). It's probably also a good idea to use a respirator, but I'm not sure if the directions indicated this was required. AzaMax is 100% natural (allegedly), and my plants didn't even seem to notice it was there. Within the first 24 hours of application, there were no more pests to be seen. Prior to application there were some on every leaf. The eggs however did not die out, and the pests returned within about 7 days. Another quick application and there are no living pests in sight. I believe I will be able to effectively end their life cycle with only 2 or 3 treatments (maybe one more, but there are not many eggs left, and they may all die out from this last treatment). I would recommend AzaMax to anyone trying to grow fruits or vegetables without chemicals. AzaMax is an effective means of controlling pests.

Have heard nothing but rave reviews on this product. As a master grower and adviser to many grow facilities, I had to try it. It works, but with the following caveats: Using it in hydroponic solutions was not at all successful, no matter how we worked the numbers. I had hoped that this would be the silver bullet as we are very good and successful at hydroponic culture and have stellar results. But it did not work. Using moderately medium strength solutions was somewhat successful, al be it, it killed a lot of smaller month old starts, and some plants too that were well established, in the 4 to 5 week vegetative growth stage. Given the gestation period of three days of most parasitic mites and other sucking insects, our modus operendi was to apply it once a day for three days to fully take down the target pest, and offspring. That worked somewhat, but given the efficient and spontaneous reproductive strength of spider mites for instance, even after 4 days, there was still a significant infestation on some plants. The strongest and most hardy plants showed some good results, but, even they still seemed to not be devoid off all mite breeders.
