I lost the thread... about No Pest Strip for bugs

There is a thread in here about bugs, I have searched but can't find it.. a fellow was saying that he used No Pest Strips to keep bugs way... which seems radical but perhaps interesting. If anyone can recall and point out that thread, please do. Thanks.

Decent thread, no flaming.

Using them is like wearing a mask, everyone has input.

Deploy them overnight, I keep it in a sealed bag for a year or two.

No worries, be safe.

So I can say for a fact that these burn your plants if placed too close and also do NOT work against fungus gnats. Light dose of Bayer tree & shrub watered in once in early veg is best all-round preventative treatment IMO. Prevents everything including RA's and gnats. Use this in a sealed room and have zero pests.

Is only for mum plants which will produce clones only, and definitely not for vegging plants to be put in flower... unless they quit using imidicloprid in that product??

Imid has a pre harvest interval of less than 45 days for all edible crops. In most crops it is Just 7-14 days. It also is most active in the woody areas of the plant, not the flowers. So if applied 60-70 days before harvest, there is very little chance of significant residues in flowers. And imid is not very toxic to humans; the NOAEL being about 50mg/kg body weight, meaning a 70kg person would need to ingest 3.5grams of pure imid to have any type of toxic response. Tree and shrub is .74% imid, and should be applied at a rate of 1 tablespoon (15ml) per 5 gallon pot, which is .11g of imid per plant. If all of it was perfectly absorbed by the plant, none of it broke down, and all of it somehow translocated directly to the flowers; If the plant yields 200g of bud, that would be 55 micrograms per gram of bud, roughly 6400 times lower than the toxic limit, even in this worst-case scenario.

That's great, but cannabis is a hyperaccumulator and does not fit those profiles. I can guarantee your "clone vegging for flower" will test positive for Imid months later.

Unless it's been actively tested on cannabis and people by multiple parties, charts showing safety are garbage.
