You’re not supposed to use SEVIN, I don’t know why, but when I bought it, I thought they said it was organic, but I only used it one time before I had any bud sites (2 wk veg) on the foliage and it’s rained many many times since then so I’m just gonna get some neem oil or SAFER’S

Lambda-Cyhalothin ............................read please? huge runoff concern. fatally ruins the nervous systems of bees and aquatic life rather perfectly... toxic to mammals... mammal tests showed the chemical 50% absorbed by the animal and coming out of their poop still functional. 5 day leaf surface half-life. basically Lambda-Cyhalothin is a synthetic pyrethroid..........and has every other concern as every other spray and pray no logic pyrethrin chucker out there at Walmart............................ also bad for you but nobody cares because 'they wouldnt eat that' and 'we didnt see cancer in a lab rat in under two years' logic the fact that you could purchase this without being privy to this information is just another proof of a sick society. outdoor growing requires no effort or skill in any category other than pest management. you can boost your soil or innoculate....you can train....but everything imporetant is done automatically and on EZ mode outdoors. You have one goal. keep pests in check. a sevin product will never be that. they said it was organic because organic means nothing today. it is a buzzword. if you want organic inputs, learn what organic is, then match your inputs with that.....not you chasing some vendor solution or salesperson or company or megafirm's "branding / marketing horse crap" i wonder how many billions of bees Sevin has killed?

Hi Bud. Look into essential oils. Do a search, something like... essential oils for garden pests. In my Runtz Mintz Cream diary I show some of the most used essential oils and I give some recipes for mixing. I think it's weeks 2, 3 and 4. Some oils are good for pests and some are good for fungus and mold. Do your own search and see what you find. There has been all sorta research on these oils in agriculture and greenhouse farming. Check it out... Chuck.

For the next grow... To naturally boost your cannabis plants' pest resistance, focus on increasing silica and chitin. Silica strengthens the plant’s cell walls, making it physically harder for pests to chew or pierce. Meanwhile, chitin triggers the plant’s natural immune response and raises brix levels (sugar content). Pests actually struggle to digest plants with high brix levels, making your garden a much less attractive target ✌️💚

Its not organic. its synthetic man made pesticide. as long as you did not spray it on the buds. its fine. does not matter if it is organic or not, never spray it in flower regardless. even neem. and the active compound in neem is also not great. so... grain of salt. Also this is what google had to say about it. Lambda-cyhalothrin is not organic. It is a synthetic, man-made insecticide classified as a pyrethroid. While it is based on the chemical structure of natural pyrethrins extracted from chrysanthemum flowers, the "lambda" version is heavily altered in a laboratory to make it more potent and last longer outdoors. Because it is a concentrated chemical, it does not qualify for organic certification and should not be used in organic gardening.

Search and see if it is "systemic" ... if it absorbs into the plantand remains there, that's a problem, like Eagle20, or whatever it was called. If it doesn't enter the plant, the new growth won't be contaminated with it if you never sprayed that new growth. i can't read what the active ingredient is on that bottle. google that with "systemic" or "half-life" or "how long to break down" etc... 'biodegrade' swapped for "break down" .. eventually you'll see a reputable source talk about these aspects and whether you have to worry. "Organic" does not mean safe to spray on the plant. Don't believe that very dangerous and false idea. Plenty of organic molecules are absolutely toxic to the human body. Plus, the way it's used here is just a marketing term. it has no real causality relative to how a particular molecule may or may not act / react. I wouldn't spray anything on flower, but outdoors is a different animal....
