Thanks SableZen for your very helpful information!! As for the hypocrites after you, i pose a question....do you buy ALL organic foods, vegetables, and drinks??? If you do, then my bad, i didn't mean to throw that word around...but if you do not, as i am sure of, then you are all ingesting on a daily basis, all types of different shit, that huge company's spray all over there shit, on a daily basis..the problem with that, is they don't even tell you what stuff they spray, when they were sprayed and so on and so on...Most every food product is grown, and bugs, mites, and pests, do not discriminate...if they made an organic mixtures that actually KILLED shit, rather then just making my plants/buds smell like fish, then i'de use it.... As far as my tricholmes "falling off" and me being stupid ....lol.... thanks for the unprovoked insult!! How exactly are the tricholmes going to just fall off of the buds when water is added??? Not to mention, there's little if any THC, because there only a few weeks into bloom...don't you think that in the evolution of the marijuana plant, that it would be able to protect itself from RAIN. I would hope so, becuase every year i smoke weed thats been rained on, it's just as dank as the indoor budz that have never felt the loveliness off water on its leaves.

Thats all well and good but is inhaling it via smoke an acceptable use? When I hear people use this shit I am so much more comfortable controlling what I inhale.

Checked on what is produced when burned:

Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, and if combustion is incomplete, carbon monoxide and smoke. Nitrogen, and under some circumstances, oxides of nitrogen.



...definitely not anything you'd want to smoke out of the bottle. But unless the buds were sprayed within a day of harvest, and no time spent drying/curing, carbaryl apparently breaks down too rapidly to still produce the oxides and the rest is stuff you would be getting anyway through combusted plant material.

That's not to say the application instructions should be ignored about when to stop using it prior to a vegetable harvest... just saying I personally wouldn't be too alarmed about smoking a plant that received Sevin applications - as long as it was done according to the label.

Just personal opinion.

Looks like we both smoke in the same boat SableZen!! Not to mention, if who ever is to smoke the herbs were to smoke the herbs threw a Volcano, then they should have nothing to worry about!!! Except Alzheimer..has anybody ever heard about the Volcano using a heating element made from aluminum?? Which in return is linked to causing Alzheimer?? My brother had mentioned this to me recently...which kinda bums me out when i use my Volcano!!

haha not to use with small pets? we had flees on our cats and put 7 all the fuck over them in their fur and it killed all the flees and the cats are still alive and having loads of fun right now. one is a mother of her second litter and the other is spaded and a house cat.

as for smoking it i wouldnt know but it does kill small insects

Just for perspective... there's more aluminum introduced into the body through foods, drinks, antacids, baking soda, etc than would be inhaled from an aluminum heating element. So if there is a link between Alzheimer's and aluminum, then an aluminum element would one of the least of your concerns in comparison to the other sources.

I don't smoke from metal pipes at all though - they alter the taste. =/

Sevin works great. I use the liquid and it kills everything except spider mites. Now i wont use it deep into flowering, but I do use it and have no conplaints about it at all. I say go for it. It'll do the trick just dont use close to harvest.

I have used Sevin-5 dust on several outdoor crops up until a week-ish before harvest and couldn't even tell I had used the stuff, other than my plants never even saw an insect. The buds smoked great and tasted exactly as they did the year before. If you read on the Sevin label it says it is safe for vegetables-as in to eat, so I don't understand why it would be that bad to smoke, especially if you don't use it during the last week or so because the stuff degrades very fast. I don't think rinsing your plants will "wash off your trichomes" either considering weed has grown beneath the rain for over 10,000 years... cannabis produces resin in order to protect its seeds and I'm sure has evovled and adapted enough over the years to ensure that water isn't stealing your trichomes away... mine are always still there even after heavy-rain seasons.

I live in North Georgia and I must grow indoors. I use (20)-2 gallon pots with Black Kow & play sand mix as my soil. I also have on the top around the plant Osmocote which is a (N.P.K. ratio) of 21-16-15 fertilizer you water in. After a half hour of watering so you do not have to water for two more days meaning re-wetting the soil; sprinkle SevenDust lightly on the soil and plant with the fans off, and make sure your door to the room you grow in is shut, or zip up your tent afterwards. Yes, the dust is toxic to bugs, pets, and humans, but DO NOT sprinkle on the plant if it is in the flowering(BUDDING) stage! Sprinkle it all around the plant because that is where the bugs are bedding and rooting. If they are on the plants; when you turn back on the fans, the chemicals work on the soil surface and in the air to kill the bastards. In two days, it is safe to water and to go into the room or tent to tend to your plants. Also, buy what’s called Hy-Yield. Spray it on an old towel outside somewhere so it can completely air dry. Then take it in the house, spread it out like a rug for your plants and saucers to set on. That will repel bugs from the start and from further bugs from wanting to burrow in your Black Kow! I mix 100lbs. of manure with 100lbs. of sand ratio. Fuck perlite, fox farm topsoil, coco medium, and all that expensive nonsense. Use jiffy peat pellets for germination; then transplant to the Black Kow when sprouts have at least first four leaves. Black Kow is the “Mature Manure”; this country boy knows his types of shit, but it does attract pests, AND NO IT DOESN’T STINK! It’s completely composted. Remember, always research your topics first, then act! When you start the flowering stage 12/12 with the lights, then use Miracle Grow Bloom, but remember to rake off access Osmocote or it will burn your plants with too much Nitrogen with the Miracle Grow Bloom liquid you mix. I buy all my stuff at Home Depot. I top my plants when they get a foot tall, and at 14-16 weeks from seed; I harvest about 18-21 ounces per plant. I use two 300 watt L.e.d. lights which only use 132 true watts each. SO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, (*YES*) SevenDust works great if you know how to use it.

I used Sevin earlier this year to kill and keep away tree-hoppers/leaf-hoppers. It worked great....and now, i have outdoor spider mites edging there way through my crop very fast, and i'm going to try and use Sevin on them tonight...they're in early flowing stages, so im a little concerned, but if i don't kill the mites, i wont have any good medicine for the year!!! Has anyone ever used Sevin to kill mites?? Does it even kill them?? We sprayed neem oil, as well as Organicide, and neither have killed them!! Time to bring out the big guns!!!

instead of using pesticides, has anyone thought of scrubbing out and cleaning their grow area before introducing any plants? my neighbor sprays sevin all over his buds using commercial sprays. the bud stinks of the odorant in those sprays but he sells it so wtf?
use a neem spray before you get bugs, after you clean and sanitize you gh or grow room. yes i am getting to become a pissed off old fart so quit asking such dumb questions and get off my yard. john

I've used it in the past primarily around the perimeter of the plants and it does a good job. And I'll use it breaking new ground before I plant. But I don't like how the dust is so obvious as to what you have there going on. Like a white flag waving "hey look over here". If you're in a safe grow and feel compelled to use it I'd just lightly dust the fan leaves and keep it away from the growing tips and of course the buds. I second the Neem for control, the stuff really works.
