It works great! I use the mixture in the vegetation phase of growth. I discontinue use of the mixture for flowering and in all breeding phases. When the finished 'product' is being tested for potency it is also being tested for contaminants. Because I use a potentially harmful compound as a pesticide, I have included 'capsaisin' in the parameters for final testing. My cured flowers regularly register within the acceptable limits for Human consumption without adverse effects on users.
Right on.

Once the stuff becomes legal across the board, you should start an 'Area 420' in the forums. That way I could send a 'sample' to all of the members who qualify

Hahahahahaha. I'll definitely make a commitment to that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.

Shit's legal here - just can't cross state lines with it. Or grow it, which is why I don't. :whistling:

Rhythm Wrote:Awesome man...I hope you charge more than the average bear considering the lengths you've gone to. So, no buildup of toxins....why not, cap should stack over time just the same as anything else. Do you not use the same potting containers/media batch after batch? Capsaisin oil is 300% less in cost when compared with the leading 'organic' spider mite pesticide, so I actually make my safer products available at a lower cost than my competitors
As far as housekeeping goes...
I use an autoclave to keep things copacetic. Furthermore, I have found no significant data to suggest that my breeding and propagation techniques have enabled mutation in metabolism nor in the final genetic structure of my plants.
ETA: Rosemary oil works as well on spider mites but it also decreases the effective potency of the finished product by an average of 30%! That, and your smoke tastes like spaghetti sauce.

Okay.....you have mites. Have you ever considered biological controls? If you have the cash I'll could lend you my license......it's good fun to watch, if you have a good loop or microscope.
With regards to the cost...once you have a colony of predators it's pretty much free. Don't buy organic shit, it's a ripoff. You can make your own.
I have to ask...has it ever occurred to you that your handling techniques and indoor area preclude infestation? The oil may be unnecessary ( a correlative non-contributor). What other houseplants do you keep...and where did they come from?
(you're an enthusiast...aren't you.....oh I'm so fucking happy you came along  )

But wouldn't you know it...? The damn things are on the freakin air here where I live, and so contamination control is very difficult with regard to these lil guys.

Hahaha, nah, no hate in me. I make my living digging holes and dropping green shit into them as well. I used to work the whole 9-5 bit....hated it. Having much more fun now, making more money too, after you account for expenses.
Mantids are boss. All you need to do now is start an asian gambling ring - it's perfect, you could be a veritable crime lord (and crime lords need triggermen - want my cv?).
With regards to the mites. Presence is not infestation, if you have favorable trifoliates then there's no need to apply the oil (and plenty of reason not to).

Think it over, I have a flawless record (in that I never fail when someone says "fire") and the sort of training you could never afford to send an employee a'searchin for...lol.
-not only that......I know dozens of others like me desperate for work.
