Food crops are very VERY different than something you plant to combust and inhale.
1- Combustion causes chemical changes
2- your stomache can break down some substances that your lungs cannot
Be careful using āfood approvedā items on your cannabis.

Sadly I do know that 
but thinking it was from my son
mister anal about bugs and cleanliness let my guard down
found out after I had the borg in my grow room, he got it from a friend
and did not want to drive around with it in his car
if I make it to 100 years old I will still be learning

Micronized sulfur in veg should wipe even russet mites out. Wait 2 weeks before putting in flower.

Having a bitching match with this guy onlineā¦he claims this leaf doesnt have any bugs on itā¦take a look, enlarge if need beā¦what do you see? He says heās heavy handed and is rough with his plants (holes in the leaf)ā¦do you see what I see or am I seeing thingsā¦

The big black speck looks like a hole but thereās smaller specks that make it hard to tell. Plus that 666 in the background is not a good sign eitherš

Whether its bugs or not im not positive, but there are def a ton of black stuff and even the odd white bit of crap all over the leaves

Alright, well, I guess Iāll give him the benefit of the doubt, he was reluctant to show the top side of the leaf, figured he didnt want to show the damage.

Iām very late to the party but I think you was right. Granted without microscoping you cannot say 100% but I see a whole bunch of little brown coloured specs which is what SM look like without a scope unless adult then maybe youād see some legs but my guy canāt be that rough to plants to tear tiny holes in the leaves like Iāve ripped leaves but what would the guy of done to have tiny little holes in his leaves 
@Red_Beard420 this thread is right up your alley.
Iām late to this party too lol. Iāve been trying to eradicate them little Fārs for almost 2 months. Thereās nothing in my cleaned & treated flower tent atm, but Iāve got 3 mother plants in a closet and seedlings in the veg cab, so I didnāt want to bomb the entire, carpeted, room with Doktor Doom (.4% pyrethrins). Well, now theyāve migrated over to the mothers closet. Can they live or stay dormant in the carpeting? If so, I was gonna spray it with āRepel Clothing & Gear.insect repellentā. It contains .5% Permethrin, lasts for 2 weeks. Any thoughts on this approach?
