If you're in an emergency statis bombs are a good way to go. Pest strips with pesticides are also very usefull. And there are many pesticides to choose from as well. Mites develope immunities very quickly, and you don't know what immunities your mites are already carrying. So a multiple prong...

Ed, I don't know what to tell you. Talk to the people that wrote the laws, I had nothing to do with it. Should be and is are often 2 very different things. I gotta go to work.

I think I've banged my head up against the wall enough for now. I have to go to work and kill some mites. I'll be back in a few hours. But EdGreyFox, why don't you try reading the laws before going off on a tangent. Maybe you'll find out that by harvesting more than 2oz you're breaking the law...

This is considered a MEDICINE, not a FOOD CROP. Standing agriculture laws so not apply. And there has been no law set forth for growers as of yet. It's almost as if the state ignored the fact that there were going to have to be people growing if the medicine is going to come into existance...

Dude, a case came before a judge in Boulder where a man with no more than a regular 6 plant license was caught with several plants over his limit, and more than a LB of dried & cured meds. He told the judge that he needed more and the judge sided with him. Precident set. Period (unless the laws...

I beleive the $110 paid was for the Dr's consultation and is not a yearly renewable thing. She filed papers with the state ( I beleive) but it's unclear if the recomendation will hold up in a court of law. However, with the precident set in Boulder a few weeks ago, it looks like they stand a...

Dude, can't advertise anything for sale, offer to buy anything, or offer a trade with anyone on the site. It's site policies.

I agree. I've been saying since I got into this a few months ago that legal growers should pony up 10% of their net earnings so we can put together a union and get a lobyist speaking for us in DC. But with growers pointing their fingers at other growers who are paying attention to the laws...

The religious right would disagree with you. They think 1 is too many, and anyone with a brain knows it. And what about the guy who gets 4lbs a plant? Does he get limited to a smaller ammount of plants? After all who needs 80 lbs every 2 months for personal use? And what about the guy who...

You're wrong, it's politics that is pushing it. There are those that want to shut this down, outlaw MJ nation wide again, and even make the plant extinct if possible. The religious right is what's pushing the regulations. So far the only people I've heard about gettin busted are those...

I agree, but the laws are the laws and unless you want to deal with the consequeces, you have to follow the laws. One step at a time.

I'd love it if there was a business license for this because it would provide a level of security in the fact that I'm not going to get raided by a cowboy cop that just wants to be a pain in my ass because he doesn't like the new laws. It would also provide a set of rules, well defined rules...

Actually the boiling point of water depends on what altitude you're at. Therefore there can not be just 1 set boiling point for water or for any liquid. If steam really works that well and is safe, then I'm sure I would have seen it on one of the entomology sites I've been cruising for the...

The hot water dip advice comes from an entomology site run by the FL State Dept of Agriculture & the Univ of S FL Agriculture Dept. http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/ I really wouldn't call anything from that site a trick or cheapo technique. By vacuum I'm guessing you mean a keyboard...

Found a place locally to get some of the concentrate for $10 (Bonide All Season Spray Oil), that has the petroleum oil base. If anyone's tried it and has done damage to their plants, please let me know. If not I'll report back after I've treated once or twice & tell everyone how it did on my...

I don't even feel comfortable putting my girls in 110 degree water, no way I'm hitting them with 200 degree steam. Sounds too sketchy to me. I don't mean to harsh the info or the person you got it from. Just too risky.

Thanks again. The hot water dip came from an entomology site run by the FL Dept of Agriculture & the Univ of S FL Agriculture dept. so I'm pretty sure it's good info. I'm just thinking that if I have to dip them in hot water for 15 minutes to make sure they're dead, then steaming them for a...

I still need opinions on petroleum oil vs hot water dip though. And advice on keeping 40 gallons of water between 110 & 120 degrees for an hour & 45 minutes, or even for just 15 minutes.

Thanks for the help. I can't +rep you again till I +rep some more people first. sorry I've heard about steaming but haven't seen any verifyable proof as of yet that it works. Given that a hot water dip is a way to kill Broad Mites & their eggs, it might work. Then again it may not work on...

I could have easliy gotten a Dr's recommendation for up to 40 plants, personally I stuck with 20 to try to stay "under the radar" of the cowboy cops who harrass growers because they don't like the law. As far as I udnerstand it there is no business license if you're not a dispensory, and there...
