If you want to be sickly. And fat eat MacDonald's drink heaps of soft drink and smoke toxic weed grow your own and eat freash vegetables
If only growers prepared there soils before it is used for growing with predator bugs and nematodes but staying true with the application process during a grow season. We could get rid of the chemicals out there that are complete mistakes for mankind. Just too many mistakes out their!! Do your research growers before you have to call an ambulance or a chemical clean up crew. Good one fellas.
What is happening here? 21:00
I appreciate the video but I think we could have went a lot more hardcore on how dangerous it is to be smoking pesticides and I wish Matthew being the expert on pesticides would have advocated more for the health side of it. He seem to just avoid talking about it kinda weird! It seems like most weed tubers are dancing around it and not advocating for the people that don’t know any better ! Some people telling me it’s because all you weed tubers are sponsored and corporate but idk I mean I would literally be making this a huge deal and telling people not to smoke dispensary cannabis because your not getting medicine anymore we are literally being poisoned by these companies that are the scum of the earth and they know there poisoning there customers it’s sick! Anyways good click bate video but not much warning for the cannabis community and truth Mathew just spat out mumbo jumbo
Just subbed to channel i learned a lot in this one thanks guys
I can hook you up.
I use neem oil I've used baking soda with dawn dish soap but I've noticed if my plant is super healthy they seem to be more resistant to bugs and diseases or mildew. Most times they attack the weak plants
Is in your grow 😊

I'm in Australia 🇦🇺 in the 70s average life of farmer's in the banana fields was 45 to 50 before cancer set in
I can't imagine what some of these chemicals could do to you when you burn them I got gang green from spilling insecticide on my legs and hands lost fingers came close to loosing both legs doctors wanted to cut both legs off I would not let them its taken years to come good burning them could do so many things to you I can't imagine most of my friends are dead from cancer from spraying these chemicals on farms we had highest rate of babies born with intestines on outside of there body from mothers swimming in creeks where chemicals ran into creeks most babies died thanks Monsanto
❤ Mathew
Pyganic and microblift in soil once every two weeks. Biggest difference by far.
The cannabis industry is a joke. I took courses in horticulture with project green flower and also been growing for 4 years I’m 21 and still Can’t get a job in the weed industry .. Such bull shit. All these bud tenders don’t know shit about weed. They just sales people
Name one corporation that is making millions that isn't corrupted in some fashion?
Gwah!
These videos are great the thing they gotta do just to say pest free is horrible
Great what a smart young man
Hey Kyle! I'm doing my first Strawberry Cough run, 5 plants… love the smell two weeks into flower 🙂
I am sure glad i'm smoking my home grown🎉🎉
I had no idea pyrethrins are toxic for felines, i spray my cows with it and dip my dog with it. I also spray around my gardens and barns, i knew not to spray around large swoths of bees, its very toxic to bees, honey bees and bumblebees. Bees are important for our crop production.
You also can just grow in a bad area and naturally occurred minerals can just be absorbed by your plants it will be just fine for them because their plants and literally eat minerals though water or some asshat grower wants to get lazy and just spray down thier buds and not clean thier area.
Ty you are the best
Grow your own homegrown been growing girlscout from homegrown for years fire every run
