Marrone Bioinnovations has Regalia, Venerate, Grandevo, etc. All biologically active and organic for molds, mildews and mites. On the approved list for Oregon I believe. I'm about to apply for a job there since it is on the other side of town. The (safe) stuff that works typically costs a lot. The harmful stuff that works is cheap, like Eagle 20.

When clones or plants come here I nuke them. Seriously nuke them. I'll take clones from clones for a while to allow half lives to pass but a strong IPM regimen keeps my place clean. I rotate Flying Skull, Pyganic, Neem/Karanja @50/50, and essential oils. My neighbor said "your garden doesn't smell as good as it did last year," referring to clove, cinnamon, rosemary,etc.

Ironically I just had a friend who normally passes PM to me tell me he thinks I gave him mites and PM. He said they are all over clones out of a domed tray. Even though he is in a new spot he cannot shake pm and hasn't been able to for years. Now it's my fault and I never have PM

Ive also heard of the peroxide spray or dip immediately on all clones received not your own. I'd try it, hit em again in a week with a pyrethin immediate kill then a week later with the spinosad a systemic. just an idea, lol I ain't skeered.

I know everyone is always saying weed is just a plant. In many ways it is. But in many other ways it is not. One of the main ways it is not is the fact that it is a well known " Hyperaccumulator " . Don't know what that is? Google it and read some shit. But the basics is weed likes to take up some very harmful shit and store it in its tissue.

Cheers :)

If you grow your weed in a toxic waste dump or ground contaminated by heavy metals then that hyperaccumulating is an issue. Or at least the TV show "House" made an episode about the what ifs, lol.

But honestly I think all the shit they spray our fruits and veggies and hormones/anti bacs given to livestock are a more serious threat to our well being as a community.

This journal discussed weed being hyperaccumulators, which is true, but the storage and also specific metals being stored is important. Most of the metals are located and stored in the leaves and shoots. So don't smoke leaves and stems and you'll be good to go. Plus, with the metals location as well as the mechanism the plant uses to uptake said metals, I dont think a bic lighter (like a 4k combustion temp AT BEST) is going to be able to combust those metals...
