I really don't like to advise others to spray in flower but I have used it in a week 3 crunch without ill effects. Where if it was anything else I would have had to trash it because I'm hyper-sensitive to meds with any trace of residuals.

It claims it's safe until harvest although I would advise against that no matter what they say.

That's kinda where I'm at. It may say so, but lighting pesticides on fire cannot be good for lungs. Anyone have experience with boiling peppers and using the water as a spray? I've heard this works wonders however don't feel like killing plants in my experimenting process

Green Cleaner works fairly well. It is actually just soybean oil and shampoo, just soak the underside of your fan leaves, should get ya through harvest. The $20 Rainmaker sprayer at the hydro shop is far superior to anything else I've ever used - longer hose, angled head, finer mist.

Keeping my fingers crossed that tonight's rain storm doesn't f things up too much for any of us...

Here's a dry nugshot of my friend's outdoor Cherry Pie cross, it looked and smelled like indoor.

I've had positive results using mighty wash when I've seen those suckers when it was too late for wmd's= weapons of mite destruction...mites are one of those things, kill the crap out of them by any means necessary, and then once they're gone the preventative lesser toxic means can be successful more in terms of preventative measures.

a lot of the people I know that refuse to break out the big guns have a perpetual mite problem, for some of them it's lasted years, literally.

You could always look into predators to attack the mites but personally I'd go nuclear on them and use a pesticide. Either way mites are the worst so get your genocide face on and kill them asap.

here's the ingredient list.

http://media.hydroponics.net/item-documents/old-stage/140897/green-cleaner_msds.pdf

The only one on that list that could even remotely be toxic is last one, Quillaja saponaria. It's a tree from S. America called the Soapbark tree. Extracts from the bark create foam when mixed with water, hence the name. I don't think it has the dissolving kind of effect on the insect cuticle that other anti-insect soap and detergent products do. Not sure what role it serves in this product.

The Quillaja supposedly is chemically similar to Digitalis which is a drug used to treat some abnormal heart rhythms. The wiki page on it said it is used in vaccines and as a treatment to loosen mucus in colds etc. Another page said it has been used for years to facilitate foaming in drinks like root beer. Unlikely to be toxic but with Cannabis, any residual is usually going to be inhaled and not ingested, so harder to know.


Hope all the OD folks did ok with the rain. wasn't too heavy near me, just the usual off and on again stuff that passes for a rain storm in SD
