One Colorado hydro store owner, a member here for a while was met with EPA inquiries because what he was selling wasn't properly labeled. He gave up, I think.......

I was wondering the same thing. Best assumption I can come up with is that the paclo helps plants recover faster and get back to fruiting after pest damage. Makes your pesticide look like it's working better even if it isn't. I can't think of another good explanation.

I thought I3BA was a plant hormone.
And yeah... sylicic acid... come on...

Is naturally occurring. Hell, I just washed my hair with a salicylic acid shampoo this morning, I believe the concentration is 1%. I don't take aspirin as a pain reliever.

Like the N in many microbial inoculants, you have to give the rube a flashy show to get at their pocketbook. But see below comment.



Most of these results look like cross contamination/poor manufacturing proccess. 16 ppm pyrethrin wouldn't do shit.

It's not like everything was chock full of ivermectin.

I am all for third party testing and pulling back the smoke screen, but one product stands out there, and if you're surprised by banned substances in flower hardeners making claims only banned substances can provide, July 1 or 4 must be very loud confusing days you struggle to bark your way through.

This is fucking ridiculous. I am so sick of the double standards put on the pot industry. When it was illegal they had all kinds of double standards about it too. Oh don't smoke pot it's dangerous, just have a drink.

Now that it's legal you have all these absurd state regulations, basically because of dumb fucking pseudo hippies and their stupid fucking pseudo science. They didn't want chemical pesticides. Now they don't even want safe organic pesticides. Yet they go to whole foods and buy food with all those pesticides and more. These people are so fucking stupid it hurts my head. Half of the chemical pesticides they bitch about are fucking harmless yet you hear them bitching about how it causes cancer. There is no proof any of that stuff on the list is harmful.

Of course the state excepts this bs pseudo science because it means they get to regulate legal pot to the point of strangulation.

Well, stupid pseudo hippies, enjoy your powdery mildew covered buds and spiders mites because that is what you are going to be smoking.

Wait what's that you dont want pm and mites either? Ok then have monsonto make a resistant gmo strain.

Wait you don't want that either?

Fuck you and cram it up your ass Washington state.

If Cali does this shit, I'm going black market again.

The only way I know of to best control the potency and consistency of a plant would be through cloning, so if you cant clone with gel to control consistency wouldn't something new like GMO seed be required to keep potency consistent and avert a public health disaster that would arise from the super dangerous uneven THC levels???

The government may have to save us with GMO just like they kept us safe from all those super dangerous sugar corn syrup fruit mint flavors that nearly caused a national health disaster with scourge of the dreaded E- CIGARETTE

We don't need gmo weed. We realistic views, and informed citizens, for reasonable requirements. You have half of citizens scared to death of the fda, and you have half the citizens scared to death of pesticides, and pests. Almost no one bases their opinion on facts or science. The majority of our country is made up of grown spoiled children herded around by fear propaganda tactics, that want to have their cake and eat it too. I won't cater to them. They can all kiss my ass.

Preventative spraying is required to have pest and/or mildew free buds because all places have their issues. Even if your indoor environment is perfect it's still possible to bring in pests or mildew. You have to do preventative spraying. In California indoor growing is an obsolete business model due to electricity prices. The amount of environment control you have to run costs more than top quality bud is worth. Same on the whole west coast.

The people doings this b.s. In Washington are purposely making growing standards next to impossible for the purpose of driving out small growers and gaining monopolies so they can then drive the price back up. They invested huge amounts of cash into obsolete and inefficient infrastructures that they are stuck with. The only way for them to do this is crush small growers. They know bud rot, molds, and pests are an issue up there. They know they can make the small growers fail if they make preventative issues un preventable with regulation, and hide it under the guise of consumer protection.

Meanwhile they will pay off officials and cheat until they are the only ones left. Then they will loosen regulations when they have monopolies and fuck consumers the other way.
