PESTICIDE DISCLOSURE
Integrity is at the forefront of our minds and we want to be completely honest and transparent regarding all of our practices. We are an open book and want to help educate the industry and our customers as much as possible.
OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) listed means that the product is approved for organic production. ALL of our pesticide products used are approved for organic production besides Hormex #8. The active ingredient in Hormex #8 is IBA or Indole-3 Butyric Acid. This product is an exception for many organic certifications (Kind Certification, Clean Green Certification, etc.) because it is a safe and necessary part of commercial plant production, where there are no comparable alternatives (literally everyone in the industry uses this). It is only used at 1 time in a plants lie, at the earliest phase, rooting.
We utilize a multi-faceted approach to our extensive IPM program including the implementation of beneficial insects, starting from the early stages of plant development, to reduce the use of pesticides as much as possible.
The pesticides we do use, are used properly; at minimal effective concentrations, only in the early stages of plant development, never sprayed on flowers, with respect given to PHI (pre-harvest intervals), half-lives, systemic and translocation potential, etc. The proper use of these pesticides and execution of IPM protocols effectively reduces the possibility of the occurrence of mold, mildew, insect pests, etc. Ultimately, leading to a higher quality, cleaner and purer end product and experience to the consumer.
Just because all of these products are listed, does NOT mean that all products have been applied to any specific crop cycle or product. Rather, we provide complete transparency of any and all possible courses of action, reserving the right to utilize any of these products as we may find necessary to produce the healthiest and cleanest crop possible.
We guarantee no harmful pesticide residues on our products.
