Spinosad is one of the pesticides have been screening for. I know it was a disqualifier in the emerald cup. I prefer to use it only if I'm having an outbreak of thrips, it is not effective on all insects so I don't use it regularly. Neem or enzymes are my go to.

It is safe.

I know people.go.holy crap it is banned. That means nothing.

A woman drank 80 ml and lived.

Spinosad fall in the safest category for pesticides. It is safe to most beneficial insects.

I researched it a lot before using.

Drinking something is not the same as smoking, the effects of smoking spinosad are not known, which is why it is banned. The idea is to prevent class action lawsuits in the future should negative effects of smoking combusted spinosad be discovered and also because they were finding samples with spinosad levels way higher than the threshold.


Do you have any examples where they have banned one product with spinosad as its active ingredient but allowed a different product with spinosad as the active ingredient?
I use it but never in flower.

So, me and my friend have decided to grow 2 plants outdoors.

We are located in Mexico, here, weed is not legal but cops are mostly looking for big farmers, there's no such thing as heat scanners, etc.

We want to grow it in my friends's penthouse that has a big sunny terrace. He says his only neighbor now doesn't venture much to the roof, as he has guard dogs and also not a clear view to his terrace.

First of all, will the smell of 2 plants be too intense? This is a sunny terrace on a beach destination, so there's lots of soft breeze. Will it be easy to detect?

Also are spider mites something extremely common?

I grew 7 girls to flower this past year and only 1 had a real pungent smell, but you could smell it as soon as you pulled up to the front of the house. So given the depth of my yard I would estimate the stink zone at 30 to 40 feet in all directions.
