I'm already having a hard enough time pushing myself to try a non-organic nute. Given the toxins and chemicals in that spray, I think I'll pass.

If you mean the Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium extract called pyrethrin,
it is a totally organic substance.
Pyrethrin breaks down under UV light.
If you spray your clones before you take them in your room,
you will not "contaminate" any part of the plant,
that you would grow later,
you know the part that we smoke,
called buds.
The pyrethrin
will destroy the eggs,
before they can hatch,
in 7-10 days.
This is preemptive insect control.
Pyrethrin is valued first strike weapon
in my arsenal against all evil
invading insect bastards.

Oh by the way,
Do you eat bread or grains?
They use it in grain silos.
Pyrethrins have little residual effect.
In stored grain, 50% or more of the applied pyrethrins disappear
during the first three or four months of storage.
At least 80% of what remains is removed by handling, processing, and cooking.
You are eating the rest.
Rats fed pyrethrin at high levels for two years
showed no significant effect on survival,
but slight, definite damage to the livers was observed
Inhalation of high doses of pyrethrum
for 30 minutes each day for 31 days
caused slight lung irritation in rats and dogs

It's the genotoxic carcinogens that I'm concerned with; they do not break down so easily. Those, along with the interacting nature of permethrin with cell receptor sites (which elicit affects on the immune & reproduction system) have just sorta turned me off. Though it may only be an acute amount, all the shit these days that we put in to our bodies adds up.
Have you tried/considered ladybugs? If so, what are your thoughts on them?

permethrin is a possible human carcinogen.
please read that link, so you can avoid cancer.
Me, I scoff at cancer,
I eat well done charcoaled meat,
and microwaved food,
prepared on teflon cooking surfaces, blah blah blah......
You gotta die from somethin'
I choose death by chocolate, ribeyes, chivas regal, and good sweet smoke.
Roll me a fatty for desert.

Ha, don't get me wrong; gimme a greasy slab of meat and the sweet carcinogenic compounds of a fatty blunt any time of the day and I'll be amped. I just like to make a small effort to reduce the amount of toxins I intake and to make the bud that much better. And whether I truly believe it will do me good vs. simply looking to justify other bad habits, it's nonetheless something to strive for.
Anywho, let's get down to business. Being the lonely widow Cindy she is, I think I could give her good company.

I'm fine with every rule except mailing off samples. That's where things become illegal for me.

Hey Earl, Looks like a fun "competition". I'm just in the middle of my first DWC with some Burmese x FI aka "420" clones. I'm using DNF nutes with a Dr. Hornby's Big Bud additive. I think I meet all you're requirements other than the RO. Just wondering why so set on only using RO? Will the added ppm cause that much of a difference? I think I might try a split of RO and regular water next time I set something up, which should be in a few days for my next clones. I'll keep track of the post.

hey earl, i've heard of this idea before. at the old advanced site. it never happened, but i thought it'd be a good idea. def. something to watch. too bad you don't have coco as a medium. i'd sign up for that. dwc is too much work for me. looking forward to seeing this happen, good on you!
I'd like to be in. Seems no one is growing with the AeroGarden hydroponics unit with Aero-herb nutrients. I think it'd be a good experience and hopefully some sweet results. It seems plausible for seeds to be sent in the mail [small and pretty un-scented], how are samples sent? I can post pictures of unit.

Been a couple of days. Wadup? I'm still in. I'd like help 'cause it'd be a first grow, although I've been reading a whole lot, so I'd only have to have info as I went, like, if everything didn't go like it should. Anyway, it's an AeroGrow, you can see pictures all over the internet. I've read that another guy tried to use the AeroGrow nutes and ended up getting nute-burn he thought. I think he was using the wrong nutes though. All right peace out, everyone.
