Thanks hotrod. I have a new tool to use now.

So the Ocedecenoic Acid Potassium Salt is in the soap class and doesn't have any real hazards to it.
The Lechitin is basically fat.

Sounds safe but I still wouldn't spray the day of harvest. Do your last spray a week or 2 before harvest to avoid any bad tastes that product might carry.

I read a thread in 420, where a guy used this to kill root aphids. They put 2 tsp per gallon and drenched soil. Killed them on contact and coats the roots... I just drenched my soil today... I have been on the hunt for them the last couple of days and did not see any. I did look again today and had seen a single one crawling around the soil near the stem. I hope that it means my infestation was very light.. but I will keep you informed on what happens. This person said that they did not see any for up to a week and he had fliers so he definitely had a infestation. Hope this helps.

EcoSmart can harm plants. Beware. Speaking from personal experience of spritzing with plain water, spraying down with EcoSmart, then power washing with plain water in a pump sprayer. It still hurt them terribly. Beware EcoSmart!
