What's in your retail cannabis?

This thread is bullshit. Itsmehigh is fear monger. Growers like myself have everything to lose.
Our reputation is our livelihood. I have been growing for over 20 years indoors.
I have never used pesticides or herbicides. I use a quarantine system.
Bugs never get a chance. My ashes are white as snow.
The only test my buds need is for me to smoke them.
Years of happy clients tells me I'm right.

People use nova way too much, its actually not working that good in some instances.. I've been pushing Potassium Bicarbonate for a while and so far its a hit as long as they spray it once a week. Took me giving out 2x50lb bags broken down into 500gm containers for people to finally see that it works. One thing is you need or should use any wetting agent with the PB as it'll work better. Peroxide and stuff like Serenade doesn't really work that well, tested it many times as alternatives, no go...

Ive been using white wash with good results for pm (usually not a problem, except summer). I find mega wash works well for the bugs.

Sorry man but even though I have sold it before I refuse to sell water to people for $40 per gallon. Mega Wash https://www.oregon.gov/ODA/programs/Pesticides/Documents/PesticideAdvisoryGreenPlanet.pdf Seriously if you want I'll send you some Potassium Bicarbonate and a Wetting agent for free to test out. Just PM me.

Ive used it before in veg but not comfortable using it once buds start. It's just a personal thing.

I'm actually a really bad retail business owner, I lose quite a bit of money from telling people they don't need a product lol BUT that's what's awesome about owning the store, I get to tell people that when product is shit Its shit. If they still want it so be it...

You started growing when you were 12? Lol I started toking before you were born. How am I fear mongering by posting a link to the news? It's called education. I present the news you decide to either believe it or not. Without information you can't make an educated decision. I'm a firm believer that everybody should be self sustainable. Grow your own if you can, otherwise educate yourself and pick a suitable source. Knowlege is power my friend.

Your assuming my profile has my real birth date.
I guess you can't believe everything your read eh?
Calling this propaganda news is like saying I'm 32 which I'm not.
Proud to say I just turned 40, last time around the sun.

Depends on the chemicals. Some are for ornamental usage only so there have been no long term human studies done, some are for food crops but you have to use them at a certain time from cropping. Also vegetables can be washed off cannabis can't. Also when it says 4 week residual that's the 1/2 life of the chemical the full residual of the chemicals/carrying agent could be way longer.

that's right, so theoretically at that rate after 8 wks there should 1/4 left, after 16 wks 1/8 left, after 32 wks 1/16 left etc etc

Yah something like that. There is a good chunk of growers who do not use commercial pesticides and just use things that contain pyrethrins eg Bug B Gone, Dr Doom/Konk/End All/etc... Only thing with those is that pyrethrins will break down after two hours under Sunlight/HID lights and in products like Bug B Gone the Canola oil will damage the leaves is sprayed too often. SO if you do use them use them after lights go out or some time before they come on.

LP's aren't allowed to use pyritherin, neither are growers in Oregon. Half of the allowable pest/fungi cides that are allowed in LP's are organic certified.

Speaking of Organic pesticides, here's a good video that Jorge Cervantes posted recently. Couple of products I'd never heard of. Definitely worth a watch:
