    Help! Was about to harvest automatics and had to spray potassium soap to kill mites!

    How long should I wait before I do harvest? They are ready but I am concerned about taste. Please advise.

    Thank s

    Welcome to GWE
    I would not use it on my plants in flower
    Potassium salts of fatty acids can be toxic to plants. Plants that have hairy leaves may hold the soap on their surfaces longer, resulting in a burn (7, 8). Potassium salts of fatty acids are also toxic to certain types of fungi (5, 9). How toxic are potassium salts of fatty acids?
    And who knows what happens if smoked.
    When I must spray my girls in flower for pests, I use ISO and water. I do 50/50 but one can go 1 part ISO to 8 parts water, spary the under side first then the top and soak 'em good. This kills adults on contact but not any eggs. So it must be redone every 2-3 days for at least 3 treatments.
    As far as how long to wait now, IDK.

        Agreed with the others.
        I would definitely not smoke that weed😳.

        I know some people in here are dipping the buds in water tanks with different kind of things in the water and in different tubes.
        Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
        You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lol
