so many people swear by mighty wash, problem is, they have no idea that it works so well because it contains a banned pesticide in legal states, further more mighty wash is doing thier customers a diss service by including a product know to harm people ,, sadly, they should own up to thier ingredieants and list it

Some unlisted ingredients automatically makes it "very bad for you"? What you shared states nothing of the potential harm/risk other than potentially failed tests.

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids interfere with the way that the nerves and brain function. If you get a large amount of pyrethrins or pyrethroids on your skin, you may get feelings of numbness, itching, burning, stinging, tingling, or warmth that could last for a few hours. You are not likely to be exposed to amounts of pyrethrins or pyrethroids by breathing air, eating food, or touching anything that would cause enough pyrethrins or pyrethroids to enter your body and cause other problems. But if very large amounts of these chemicals were to enter your body, you might experience dizziness, headache, and nausea that might last for several hours. Larger amounts might cause muscle twitching, reduced energy, and changes in awareness. Even larger amounts could cause convulsions and loss of consciousness that could last for several days. Allergic reactions have been seen in a few individuals who used products that contain pyrethrins or pyrethroids. There is no evidence that pyrethrins or pyrethroids cause birth defects in humans or affect the ability of humans to produce children. There is evidence from animal studies that pyrethrins and pyrethroids might be capable of causing cancer in people, but the evidence comes from animals that ate very large amounts of pyrethrins or pyrethroids for a lifetime

Smoke some pyrethrins....then come back to us with results please lmao
I'm not familiar with mighty wash or how to use it, but is it something that would be smoked? I've used spray on my plants that had pyrethrin in it, but never on my flowers...

I'm new to gardening but I thought pyrethrins were fairly common in pesticides, fogs,etc.

Excuse my ignorance, please. :-)

Pyrethrins seem quite safe but the only thins I put directly on buds is neem and insecticide soap if needed. I use DE a lot and sprinkle up the stem also. I have also read that the Borg has developed resistance to Pyrethrins in many places.

I just contacted the company and Mighty Wash has been updated with a EPA registered label. They said they have been working with EPA for the past few years in order to make the new claims and ingredient list. Also it is already on the cannabis use list for CO, OR and WA. So these are obviously not banned chems.

Looked into Pyrethrin which is the natural version and it dissipates very quickly in the environment leaving no residue. Also pyrethrin is used in baby shampoo...

The reason they sent out notifications to people in oregon that it might fail the state test is just because it states you can use so close to harvest. I personally know 2 people who use this who had failed tests because of it not having those exact ingredients listed. I don't think the chemicals are banned in it or w/e more of a "hey btw this also has pyrethrin in it"

The article and PDF posted by me was from this week in Oregon, do you have an updated list to back up your claim?
