Believe it or not this pyrethrin spray killed the PM on my plants. Tried the other methods like soda and antiseptic, none of it worked like this shit did.

I have had good luck using 3% peroxide does not burn pistils.
I been using the peroxide actually. Was just wondering how the baking soda worked if it was better I read that It will raise the ph of the leaves making the pm unable to grow bud I’m not spraying that shit on my buds lol. But I was hesitant with the peroxide at first now it’s my life saver would have never had my first 2 harvests

Better of just chopping now and getting whatever is there before it spreads. Really hard to stop it and you'll be spraying shit on your buds. Next time do a defoliation if you have heavy foliage and constant fan on them

If you want a device that will sterilize your grow 24/7 (all surfaces that air touches), leaves no residue, won't harm terpenes, safe for you and your plants, low energy use, controls odor as well then look at the Sage AirROS. I absolutely love mine. Impossible to get PM with one running in your room.

Never spray that on buds!
I absolutely agree it’s a drastic measure. I was in veg when I used it and would not spray on buds. I grow a outdoor and as I said it’s supposed to break down in sunlight/rain. In flower yeah I would toss it or do a bud wash with peroxide when it finished.

I’m thinking bout chopping it today. The wpm is bad and the humidity is 90s for next week. Anybody able to tell me if the tricolmes are any any good. Or is it a complete waste if I cut now

Just out of curiosity, why do people recommend avoiding the pyrethrin? It is food safe and breaks down after a day or two does it not? It was my understanding that it is safe to use on fruits and veggies up to a few days before harvest. Just wondering if there's evidence of it affecting taste or quality of buds or what the exact reasoning is for avoiding it? I agreed it's an extreme option best avoided if possible, but curious what the actual effects it has on buds if anyone knows. Thanks.

Any pics? If its really bad might just have to bite the bullet and chop rather than risk losing it all.

I don’t know man I’m new at this. By my understanding is we don’t inhale fruits and veggies into our lungs
