Hey guys- Look at the labeling on the Physan before you apply it to anything that yer gonna consume.

Hey guys- Look at the labeling on the Physan before you apply it to anything that yer gonna consume.
rhizome, what are you trying to say?
Physan 20 is extremely safe to use. It biodegrades within 50 hours. Physan 20 is EPA approved for use on tree fruit, ornamentals and hard surfaces.
I saw this on the internet so it must be true. Could it be dangerous to smoke, I mean more than usual? How could it be safe on fruit from trees but not fruit from a weed plant? And if I let my weed grow to the size of trees, would it be ok to use on the fruit then?
Bottom line is I've never heard of this stuff before and I have no idea what it will do, other than what rhizome and the manufacturer tells me. It just looked perfect for PCs condition so I thought I would throw it out there. Your welcome. It does look like some kind of miracle product, much like SubCulture and Liquid Light. If it sounds too good to be true than it probably is. So use some judgment and don't come crying to me when your children are born with psychic powers.
Wait, I think I get it. The fruit guys wash their fruits before selling them, and the weed guys cant do that unless they're making hash. But if it biodegrades in 2 days, is there still residue or something that will remain until it is burned? Or what's the deal here? I want to understand.Quote:

( Remarkable how much $ the WA Apple Growers Association has to throw around).
That being said, I've never heard of any health problems from the stuff, and I've been around a lot of it. Almost assuredly safer than smoking, say, Floramite- and you'd be hard pressed to find mid-grade commercial indoor that hasn't been hit w/ Floramite, so I'm gonna say no more dangerous than normal.
Phytotoxicity may be more of an issue, but you should always test that for yourself.
I dunno- I'd hate to see folks using Physan as a fix for ventilation problems. I don't think it's gonna hurt anybody ( well- don't spray yer eyes) but I don't really think of it as a "first-line" treatment- I'd hold it back for real issues.
It is, though, the very best thing ever for sterilizing surfaces ( like everything in the room) between crops, and I've seen it work wonders on powdery mildew in rose houses ( our local rose grower uses a 55 g drum every winter- just never eaten ( or smoked) any that I know of. Odds are, though, that I've eaten and smoked a bunch that I didn't know of...(cough).
I didn't say it shouldn't be used- I just hope folks read the labeling ( including msds) before they start throwing it around.
And please please please be careful about how you dispose of any excess- this stuff'll kill a septic system dead.
My child was born w/ psychic powers- she somehow knows when I'm just about to lose it and vanishes, only to re-appear when I've calmed down. Quite remarkable really.
Wow, the way you describe it, it does sound quite a bit more dangerous than I had previously been thinking. Maybe it was the septic thing that got me. I really don't want that harmed. We have too much clay and I had to make a cap and fill. A total pain in the ass. Well thanks a bunch for the heads up. Who knows, you may have even just saved a life or two. That's great to hear about your child. At age 4 he still has chosen not to tell us what his powers are.
Really, I wouldn't call it dangerous-
I'm just a big subscriber to the " least toxic intervention first, then escalate" theory- and Physan isn't close to the least toxic management technique for mildew.
Just sayin'.
Thank you PharmaCan! I wish I had the cash to get some of Ken's MxB, I just have enough for the clones. I did get a bit from my two and it was very nice! :D I wish I had ordered a couple of them. I haven't gotten the clones yet as he is going to find time to come to me. I think it is so nice of him to offer to bring them to my house, as I live up the hill. I'm sure I will hear from him soon about the order. The weather has been so crappy here, probably down there too. I wouldn't want him to come up here in this stormy stuff. I think I need to add a couple of MxB to my order! :D I don't want to bother him though.Quote:

Hey that does sound like a pretty good guide to go by. I have to wonder if it's even better than my "I want the most harmful, dangerous shit you can sell me" theory.Quote:
