pyrethrin bomb late in flower

[torchhead]

I'm about 3 weeks away from harvest and I have a minor mite problem. I was told that pyrethrin bombs break down to all organic matter within a week and that it will not effect the taste. I am very skeptical of this and I try really hard to keep my pot organic so that the smoke is not harsh at all. If any one has had experience using pyrethrin this late I would love the advise on how it changes the taste.

Not sure on the real time figures for pyrethrin breakdown, however I make it a rule to never use pesticides within 4 weeks of harvest to be sure of true flavours and safe smoke.

 

Also, growing organic doesn't really mean it wont be harsh, just natural tasting (and it wont have that hydro nute burn at the bottom of your lungs), I find organic pot is often just as tickly/bitey on the throat as any other.

Hi torchhead - it's a pity about the mites

 

the "borg" - the growers night mare realized when they start to "assimilate you and your bud.

 

As TheHeadCing said it is not commonly used and avoided unless absolutely necessary.

 

I wont comment of the taste, aroma & quality ect - its all pretty subjective and open to so many variables.

 

I have used a home made 'white oil' [on the roems - search] It's organic but it has limited, if any impact on the 'borg' like many other substances. Its more of a preventative measure for other less durable insects.

 

goodluck
