I'd pass on that even with a wash at the end:

"Pyrethrins can also be harmful to humans, especially in cannabis products designed for smoking, because these chemicals can be easily absorbed through the lungs. Compared to many pesticides, pyrethrins are not very toxic to humans, and the most common problem is an allergic reaction, but it can last for days. The reaction gets worse with an increase in the dose."

Pyrethrins: A challenging cannabis contaminant

Vanishingly small levels and chemical similarities create a challenge for pyrethrin testing.

Holy Shat! THANKS Shed, i wonder if he uses this himself he should know these things & you'd figure he would say something when he knew that it was for my pot plants, i'll return it tomorrow & stick with cinnamon & rosemary
 
Pack a bottle of Dr Bronner's unscented castile soap too. Good for pests, shampoo, body wash, and toothpaste. The peppermint version works better as a toothpaste for obvious reasons but I don't use that one on my flowers.

It's for soft-bodied insects (mites, aphids, thrips) rather than bigguns like grasshoppers, crickets, or caterpillars. Caterpillars need BT spray, and grasshoppers and crickets are a tougher nut to crack with sprays that are also safe for us to smoke.

Grasshopper Control in Gardens and Small Acreages - 5.536 - Extension

Grasshoppers often are the most common insect invaders of Colorado yards and gardens and are the most difficult pests to control. Grasshoppers are most easily controlled with insecticides when they are still immature (nymphs) and their location is restricted to breeding areas.

They got me with that one too last year thinking it was organic. But it was the 🦸‍♂️ Shedster to the rescue 🛟 that saved me from it. CL🍀 :woohoo: :thanks:

as kids we where dropped off at the grandfolks in Hudson Bay Sask for the summer (cheap labour) and i swear the grass hoppers out there where bigger than the barn swallows you didn't know if you where hitting birds or grass hopper going down the HWY

i'm using just a basic 7 gal fabric pot so good with the perlite 3-4'' soil good or 2-3'' better for the soil?

One thing the thicker the perlite the most frequently it requires water/feed. :Namaste:
2" of perlite max / 3" soil minimum in the layers.


Stay safe

con, Pyrethrins can come in handy if you're trying to clean up after an infestation (especially mites). You can spray your grow area with it and it will kill every mite it touches. It doesn't hang around forever. A few days after spraying, air your space out (if it's a tent), clean it again, with maybe clorox/water or some such concoction and you may not be bothered again for awhile! :Rasta:
