Hello Squiggly, and everyone else reading this,
I am an analytical chemist at a cannabis testing lab in Colorado. I am working on an LC/MS/MS method for the detection of pesticides in flowers and concentrates. Currently,
the regulatory agencies in states around the US are dragging their feet as to what we need to test for. I thought the best way to begin my research is to ask actual farmers and other industry personnel. If I should be asking this question in a different place please let me know. This is the first time I have been involved in a forum, so please be kind :)
My question is: What pesticides (insecticide, herbicide, rodenticide, Bactericides, Fungicides, Larvicides) do you use when growing your cannabis crop? Any and all that you use or know someone uses would be greatly appreciated. Before I can accurately quantitate residual pesticides in samples, I need to obtain reference standards for what everyone is using.
Your response is greatly appreciated.
what about Bacillus thuringiensis ?
I was just wondering what happens when you burn and inhale Bacillus thuringiensis?
Is that the same BT thats in corn?
I spray a lot of BT directly on my buds in the late summer..
.Its says in breaks down in a week.
It that true?
so, o_O There is no way of knowing?
That was no help:confused:
:depressed:
but the Bacteria in BT and spinosad dies after a few days and is gone?..
or the dead body remains?
Charles,You would be a damn fool not to give this young man a shot,he is bright,educated and a hardworking self starter,it would be your companies loss if you didnt.Also, give me a job because I'm awesome! :)
It's great to see chemists working with cannabis, this gives me hope for my future.
The list of 'cides' used is frightening, especially if you're familiar with the actual legal requirements for acquisition. And the list is extensive. Should we start with dichlorvos...? Um...Hello Squiggly, and everyone else reading this,

Abamectin is a good one to test for. It's a mixture of:
(10E,14E,16E)-(1R,4S,5′S,6S,6′R,8R,12S,13S,20R,21R,24S)-6′-[(S)-sec-butyl]-21,24-dihydroxy-5′,11,13,22-tetramethyl-2-oxo-(3,7,19-trioxatetracyclo[15.6.1.14,8.020,24]pentacosa-10,14,16,22-tetraene)-6-spiro-2′-(5′,6′-dihydro-2′H-pyran)-12-yl 2,6-dideoxy-4-O-(2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranosyl)-3-O-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranoside
and
(10E,14E,16E)-(1R,4S,5′S,6S,6′R,8R,12S,13S,20R,21R,24S)-21,22-dihydroxy-6′-isopropyl-5′,11,13,22-tetramethyl-2-oxo-(3,7,19-trioxatetracyclo[15.6.1.14,8.020,24]pentacosa-10,14,16,22-tetraene)-6-spiro-2′-(5′,6′-dihydro-2′H-pyran)-12-yl 2,6-dideoxy-4-O-(2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranosyl)-3-O-methyl-α-L-arabino-hexopyranoside
And is quite bad for you.
Danks for all the great info as always... So when the fire destroys what might have built up in flowers it turns into something (carbon?) that isn't any more harmful then smoke in general or the heat ?In general I'd say you're fine dude. It's not going to be anything worse than what you're already doing by smoking cannabis itself. The fire is more than likely going to destroy the majority--if not all--of this stuff. Fire is cool like that.
Oh hell no. I looked it up and pasted to sound smart.I can't believe you just typed all that.

I think usually fire will link available carbon with oxygen to form (mostly) CO2 gas. But... if we're talking about smoking pesticides, here, it would be a lot more prudent to take it on a case-by-case basis. I bet at least some of them can handle some heat and may have a vapor phase. Remember when you smoke anything not all of the material combusts- much is vaporized by being exposed to lesser heat before the fire reaches it.Seems like the carbon would mostly--
stay where it is...
