A lot of the stuff safe for food I hear and so good for our lungs. But I’d love to be wrong and be able to use those products if anyone got some concrete information on em. Like what these grow houses use. This time I’m plucking tho. I don’t wanna take a chance.

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.
I’ve been researching it and apparently it’s the lowest on the totem pole for toxicity for its category. Apparently it’s what they spray our food with. I’ve had no issues with it using in veg and early flower. To be honest i get an ear full though most times I mention using it. Even the grow store here where I am that sold it to me say they won’t use it. I hear you though, I don’t see the big issue it even says you can use up to 3 days before consuming.

Yeah might be time to call it a chop. Check out Jorge Cervantez PM Bud Wash recipe. It’s just hydrogen peroxide mostly and people swear it washes off PM with no after taste.

It does I’ve used it before. It’s a lifesaver. When I compared 2 branches bothe cured and dried same was just one washed it was actually the better one So smooth and tasty. Not harsh at all and u wouldn’t believe all the shit that comes off it dirt and shit. I’m growing outdoors tho so makes sense lot of polite ya in air. If it were indoor in a controlled ennviornme maybe not as important

Yeah I’ve been meaning to try that, maybe I will this year just for the dirt and bugs alone.

Safe up until the day of harvest for fruits and vegetables you can wash. Not flowers you'll be smoking. It's also highly toxic to bee's.

Citric acid. I use it in the garden and just sprayed a couple outdoor plants that were showing some minor bug activity.

Right but people can always bud wash the weed too. Also if using outdoor in rain and sun, I still can’t see the major issue with it personally, especially in early flower or veg. Agreed though it is highly toxic for small insects and animals.
