Ok thanks I will keep it in mind. Seems like plants are very similar to humans. Right now I have the plants best interest on my mind and am trying to nail down a way to control this issue. When I am sick, I take an antibiotic, and then when I start feeling better I take probiotics, so I am just going with that same theory. If I can't stop the issue, i will try em, I'm not expecting it to work, but it's worth a shot. I'm gonna do some research on what you say.

I just watched "the bay" on Netflix , it was about toxic levels of hormones from a chicken factory being dumped into a bay and formed a mutated isotope that was killin people. Hopey it won't be that bad if I use em:)
Snype, if it comes down to having actual usable product, yes I will tell people the truth. Good link, I'm going to look into this. It's heartbreaking when these giants fall and Im doing to do what I can for them. Transference of antibiotics from plants to humans is something I will look into.

I got the idea from your thread

At the very least there will be some documentation on whether or not it works.

You are using it on roots in hydro , correct?



Hash Man.......Snype is giving you some great advice.


PLEASE.......don't use antibiotics on your plants.

Erythromycin isn't intended for use in plant treatment. IMHO supplying herb treated with antibiotics to others is an unethical practice......regardless if they are informed or not. Whether is works or not isn't the question. Overuse of antibiotics have caused enough damage to our planet......treating cannabis with them isn't necessary in the least. Things like this only damage our reputation as growers.


I understand the fiscal loss if those plants die or don't produce.......but the ethical responsibility is FIRST AND FOREMOST


This is one of the many reasons I look forward to legalization and mandatory disclosure of products used in growing cannabis.


Please do the right thing and use other alternatives......or cull them and count it as a loss & learning experience.


Sorry if I come off as harsh........but it had to be mentioned.

Ok. I hear you guys. For now, I'm going to keep the thread running to see if I can even save these plants. Again, I have not sprayed yet. I'm doing another round of mycostop and some hygrozyme, followed by a neem soil drench. If a plant looks like its going to go Down I am going to spray it with em.

I have taken EM from the dr. before and I am just fine. 200 mg applied once dos not seem to be that bad in the overall picture of things. Any documentation about issues with antibiotic resistance passed from plants to people anywhere? Also the above post from Skype said "when bombarded , not killed"... I wonder what the definition of bombaded is. We have all taken courses of antibiotics in our lifetimes. I took siperosporin(spelling?), it's the stuff the give you when you go over seas in case you get a nasty bug. They say they rarely give it to people because its easy for bacteria to build a resistance to, but when used properly in an emergency, it will kill damn near anything infecting you. I got super sick in china and I took the pills and got better fast. How is this any different?

I respect your opinions and don't want to be unethical. I am being honest about what I'm doing and will report my results. Any evidence that 200 mg of EM is going to create an outbreak somehow, plz post.

I will spray with a backpack sprayer on only sick plants , not through my drip line or anything. It's still a week or so away from happening as well.

I wasn't aware there were differences.

I'll do some digging on the erythro usage in plants. Can't say I've ever read any articles directly related to cannabis and antibiotic usage. It really isn't something done.......at least to the extent I've ever seen or heard of.

You are absolutely right, many of us have taken antibiotics during our lives. That being said, there are MANY instances the antibiotics aren't really needed. Your MD/DO simply throws them at you because big pharma pats them on the back & encourages drug usage. Shit, go to the Dr. with a cough and you have a good chance of getting a Z-pack. One of the reasons we have so many forms of drug resistant bacteria.

I wouldn't be as concerned about causing an "outbreak" as I would be concerned about hurting your customers/patients/yourself. The erythro would be absorbed by the plant, reside in it's tissues, then eventually............you or someone else will be smoking it, making edibles/tincture, or whatever else with it. I would be extremely concerned about damaging the health of the individuals who are exposed to your cannabis. Especially since you plan to spray the plants directly. Erythro sure as hell isn't intended to be smoked or inhaled for any reason. Same reasons it's unethical to feed antibiotics to live stock which people consume........much like Snype already mentioned.

It's a free world, you can do as you please. I would just hate to see someone get sick, ill, or unknowingly exposed to antibiotics.


Just my :2cents: on the matter.
