LOL Peace Naturals got caught too. And heres the best part. They claim they tested positive for illegal pesticide use due to a fucking sanitizer used to clean the room. Fucken shitshow has reached near comedic levels

Peace Naturals was a cleaning product used to sanitize a grow room in between grows. These new tests results are in parts per billion. Any LP using un registered Controls should loose their licence. Period.

Itsme.

They(LP's) were basically given the golden goose treatment and they can't even play within the rules.
Patients have zero trust in LP's and should demand a new system of smaller medical growers who are devoted to providing medical grade cannabis
over just securing the maximum dollar amount per gram.
How many chances should LP's get? Oh and for any one new,,,LP's= Licensed- poisoners

If they need pesticides that can't be found in a spice rack in the kitchen I question if they are even professional growers.

I won't use commercial pesticides on my own smoke, it baffles my mind there's professionals knowingly spraying cancer causing chemicals on plants that they are selling, to a lot of the time, cancer patients. Where the fuck is their conscience... I guess their bank accounts offset their guilty feelings.

Rosemary, Honey, Milk, Garlic, Peppers, Basil, Cinnamon are just a few things that pretty much kill everything a Cannabis grower encounters, then there's things like Bacillus Thuringiensis, I assume this can be used? You can buy this shit at Rona for under $10. If they need more than that shit I question their talent and product quality.

Anyone selling into the medical market should be organic or nothing imo. Spraying pesticides on flowers that will be vaped or eaten by sick people is a kick in the crotch. Everything you need is in your list, indoor or outdoor.

I'm so dedicated to not spraying anything on my plants that I'm still picking thrips out of my 27 flowering plants every day. :(

Only finding about 7 or 8 every day so it's not really hurting the plants and it gets me in the garden more often and for longer periods of time. Because of that I found some early male flowers on my 5 biggest plants that likely would have had the chance to mess up my garden. No more have shown up but I'm checking for them along with the bugs everyday too.

The LPs are getting busted for illegal pesticides/fungicides but what about the approved chems they are using? They get to spray all those they want right up to harvest like the farmers around here do with Roundup even on non-GMO crops like wheat.

Fuck LPs and the corporate a-holes who run them!

I'm betting that once its legal the gov will set new regulations and do tests for combustion on existing pesticides and set a limit of acceptable ingestion of pesticides and pesticide fumes from smoking cannabis. As it is right now no way would the LP's survive long enough with out the help of pesticides. Also we can't just say oh look I can grow at home with no pesticides and my crop is clean, well try that on a scale 10000X larger than your home grow. Something is going to have to give and I'm betting the lobbying will be a win for the LP's and the gov will accept certain level of pesticides. The majority of people will be ok with it in the end. A few 1000's smoker might not be ok with it but at the end of the day you don't represent the majority of rec smokers who just don't give a fuck when it's legal to smoke and buy weed on every corner.

That's the reality unfortunately, folks will settle for "accepted" levels of poison. That's fine in the rec market if people make that choice, but for medical there should be different options like organic. Sick people don't need the added burden of outside agitations, they just need to get better. As long as they don't screw with the medical and growing your own, to each his own. I'll grow mine as long as I can, peace of mind and better options/quality.

I hate to sound like a debbie downer but if they haven't fixed medical as of now they're not going to care anymore when the rec gets going and the tax and lobbying money starts to exchange hands. This is tied in with politicians ready to cash in on their shares and private sector positions when they leave politics that the med users will be all but forgotten, unless more lawsuits start against the gov.

Follow the money, it's been their only focus all along (cut the "for the kids" bull-shit). I just hope they leave the med market alone, at least it provides an alternative.

I believe that they will care more at that time, we are a very small subset of the population (people who have to use for medicinal reasons) so they can easily ignore our problems, where as once legalization hits they will be looking at a large portion of people using at least occasionally and they definitely do not want that many people suddenly having medical issues due to poison sprayed on the plants. On top of the lawsuits the cost due to our universal healthcare would be huge, there is no way they would let that slide.

I am going to stick to growing my own, fuck LP bullshit, even my fucked up midget plants that I stunted the hell out of are better (and oddly smoother even prior to curing).

Thrips hate Garlic. Try placing a squeezed and opened clove at the base of each plant.
