Nice, must be cool as hell to smoke with Wiz! :biggrin:
Would be cool, if the guy who actually grew the product (me) was there :dunno:

A well connected third party has been getting my product into hands of people of repute, but he hasn't yet put me in connection with a funding source for a startup in a newly legal state like LA, PA, DE, etc.

I'll be at AJ Hashman's secret sesh in a few mins, i'll let you guys know how that turns out.

Being a hermit with an extremely limited social circle sucks sometimes. Great for the breeding, makes a lot of other things really hard.

New strains hitting my site menu soon, result of my latest breeding projects and pollen chucking which, due to the high quality of the incoming genetics, made finding elite mothers for the new lines fast and easy.

Mother's Rosario - (CBD Sharkshock x Harlequin) x Harlequin, This CBD dominant strain was bred out of tribute for a patient whose life could have been saved by CBD therapy, but she lived in the days before medical programs were wide spread, denying her access to medicine which would have saved her life. This strain is very low in THC, perfect for children and those treating Epilepsy and Hep C.

Smurphette - Smurphberry Jam x Mother's Rosario, When my CBD experiment produced such amazing results, decided to make something that would appeal to almost every smoker by combining the heavy CBD genetics with the flavorful and potent Smurphberry Jam. The ratio of THC to CBD is an almost perfect 1:1 balance, making this strain perfect for treating a variety of conditions.

Test growers have been extremely happy, hitting the menu on my site soon, but I probably won't be in the clone game much longer, moving on to a new green rush and letting my property here generate some cash.

Under the authority of §24(c) of FIFRA, states may register an additional use of a federally registered pesticide product, or a new end use product to meet special local needs. EPA reviews these registrations, and may disapprove the state registration if, among other things, the use is not covered by necessary tolerances, or the use has been previously denied, disapproved, suspended or canceled by the Administrator, or voluntarily canceled subsequent to a notice concerning health or environmental concerns.
:laughing: No more contamination issues, because eventually Livwell and Green Man will have enough money to get Eagle20 added to the approved list. But only in their grows as a "special local exemption".

Secret sesh last night was nice, met "car crash" Steve for the first time, been out of the social scene for a while so a lot of faces I didn't recognize, but made some contact with the right kind of people for a change.



Brought my custom Papa Smurf dab rig with me, he was getting hugs all night long.



Did they change the image settings recently? My uploads keep turning out sideways lately.

Monterey Garden Insect Spray

Monterey Garden Insect Spray

Is there a reason why Monterey Garden Insect Spray (spinosad) is banned from commercial grows? It's flying the OMRI flag. Are there some kind of bad effects from this stuff? Used it a bit and seeing it on that banned list makes me a little uneasy.

Don't know. Makes you wonder, don't it.

It's banned because we in CO are tired of lazy growers. Lol
 
How do they treat DIY mixes?

I use neem oil
agsil16
rosemary oil
lavender oil
thyme oil
eucalyptus oil
in veg I add dr bronners soap.

Being that this is not "bought" in a bottle all together and sold by some Company, how does the MED handle things like this? Anyone? Just curious.

Pretty much my IPM... pretty sure "essential oils" are approved. The list is really llong (includes all thing allowed, all things not allowed in retail, med and home grow venues.

The cda regulates certain "labels" or total products, not just specific ingredients.

A more serious answer; monterrey spinosad used to be allowed, as was eagle20, until recently. I would guess that monterrey didn't want to pay the cda for testing/listing.

Also, by interpolating the list, I reckon the CDA loses wood over systemic things.

Spinosad seems pretty home grow friendly, big operations are likely to use half organic/half wash things like green cleaner. So I doubt monterrey is lobbying for commercial permission when their demographic is home gradeners. Just a thought.

Personally nothing works better IME than what I've quoted. I just don't add the agsil, and I prefer yucca extract over bronners. I use neem+tea tree+eucalyptus+B1+B6+amino acids+dilute compost tea+yucca(or bronners my favorite for plants is eucalyptus flavor when mixed with neem. I've tried a few, and some soaps+neem smell really strong) alternating with rosemary+thyme+dilute compost tea+yucca

Personally I would only use lavender/citrus essential oils for my plants that have those flavor present already. Imagine Chem funk + lavender soap...ick... do you notice the flavors transferring over?

IME, rosemary, eucalyptus, thyme and tea tree leave no long lasting flavors, I spray IPM until pistils, unless battling late flower outbreak (hope that won't happen EVER again, am I right?) also do neem soil/coco drenches in veg.

I hate government.
 
I have used spinosad on my tomatoes for years.

However I can't legally use it on cannabis? Interesting to say the least.

Did the MED hire some PHD in organic/natural agronomy that I don't know about? :)

Doubt it, most of the people I've encountered in the cda/med were so stupid

The one-two "lead investigators" did seem graduate level intelligence. But the field guys... wow and they get paid better than most growers.

Ps I was alluding to YOU not being lazy, and using natural organic IPM like me.

The difference between tomatoes and cannabis, perhaps the reason why it's not allowed on weed;

You don't combust smoke a tomato...

I'm sure the combustion factor could contribute to certain product banned from MJ only

I hate government.

I use this up to two weeks until harvest. Not one person has ever said there is a flavor issue. I use 2ml of each essential oil per gallon pf water. It works plain and simple.

I also use LAB Serum and natural mystic once per week foliar. This helps to break down anything that may be on the leaf surface.

That being said, essential oils and neem break down within 72 hours of spraying on a leaf surface that has good microbiology present.

I'm sure what I do as a whole would not be approved by the MED. However everyone that uses the end product approves 1 billion percent. :)

FYI, I hate Government more than you hate Government. :)
 
Pretty sure minus the agsil, all you listed is legit. I believe bronners is actually named as allowed on the list.

Yep 72 hrs, then my rosemary, then 72 hrs then my neem again. If later in flower for emergency it's no neem for me, just my rosemary/thyme 2day on 2day off 2day on.

All my foliars are pH5.5-5.8
 
I try to spray my plants little as possible.

During the stretch is all N, Mg, neem and essentials.

In flower, a brix/bloom boost foliar, thinking of trying a booster foliar from cannabiogen called Delta Nueve. Looks like some folks have great sucess

Collectively we hate the Government more than any other collective can hate the Government. :)

Seriously though, I hate the Government a lot. :)
 
seriously tho dude. you need to incorporate the tea tree. thats the real winner there. (bugs+mold/pm) rosemary is good too, i lean on that one hard...

personally gonna try dropping thyme from my rosemary alt., and replacing with peppermint.
