Steep Hill testing cannabis grown with Hot Shot No Pest Strips?

[brokenbmxer]

Ok so it's the dawn of a new era in the cannabis market. In California anyway, and in a few other states too. No longer are we going to our dudeman to buy weed, because we can now buy it at the store. Part of this revolution of pot sales is quality control. Steep Hill safe cannabis testing is becoming an integral part of selling buds these days and will most definitely be the only accepted standard in the future. So my question is this:

Has anyone had any experience having their cannabis tested by steep hill after using Hot Shot No Pest Strips in their grow room? If so, what were the results of the test? Can you still qualify Safe Cannabis if you grow with nerve agents instead of Pyrithium? lol

I am getting a serious problem with fungus gnats and now root aphids. I do not like using sprays and I grow with entirely organics. I don't want to use a product that will kill all my beneficials, but I don't want root aphids or gnats either. I neem the leaves, and I have used a neem soil drench. Doesn't really work. I am about to try the SNS 203 rosemary based soil drench, but I'm not holding my breath. I have never had any problems while using No Pest Strips, even my dogs fleas disappeared, but they seem quite frowned upon here in NorCal. They seem to be accepted on a national level tho and is definitely a proven method. So if I were to get another one to put in my grow room, could I potentially be stuck with unsellable pot?

I must confess.. Im midwest.. and was the greatest proponent of no pest strips for 6+ years. I was doing great.. the occasional spider mite and the strip was effective. I then saw that some of the cali peeps were having diff with mites that were no pest resistant. I chuckled to myself at those west coast idiots... well guess what ? Karma is a bitch. I now have bread the nastiest resistant spider mites there are. Ive used everything and anything and Im keeping them at bay with much labor and intensiveness.. whereas before, the pest strip was set it and forget it. If I had to do it all over again I think I would have not used the strip . I am reformed and really do believe the little bastards adapted and now Im having a hell of a time killing them. This grow that is affected will turn out ok with intensive labor and after this, it will be tear down sterilize and bomb everything. I have always grown organic soil ( pest strips being the most inorganic I used) .

I think you can get away with pest strips for a few times ( dont know the " side effects" I never had any) keeping your room clean but .................
If you overdo it like I did, I think it will eventually lead to you
creating the "super mite"

Sorry to hijack but justed wanted to apologize to the peeps I laughed at in the past when they told me this would happen... Maybe I can
get some good karma back after sterilizing and starting over with
an entirely new crop...

you have to get a full panel of tests if you want to know anything... just having the thc/cbd isn't going to give you info about fungicides or pesticides... for anyone who isn't stupid rich the costs of the tests are price prohibitive sadly so i don't think it'll happen that soon
