Diatomaceous Earth/ boiling water?
I just picked up some diatomaceous earth for my pest (whitefly) problem. I searched all day for pest strips but no luck anywhere after 4 hours of searching walmart, H-depot and many others.
I asked the pharmacist i picked this diatomaceous earth off and told her it was for marijuana plants, and she said that it would be perfect for the marijuana, and it was ok to put it right on and around the plants
but she also said I could put boiling water in the soil to kill the pests. Has anyone heard of this? Does it work or will it kill the plants?
I'm gunna just use the earth for now because I know it's 100% safe on plants since it isn't toxic and has neutral PH.
But will anyone inform me on the boiling water?FeastonThisSHITT Reviewed by FeastonThisSHITT on . Diatomaceous Earth/ boiling water?

Maybe she just was anti-weed and wanted me to kill my weed plants?

Yup. No hot water. Water should be at room temperature.
