Since adding pesticides to the mandatory testing for adult use cannabis, OCP has seen many failed tests with the prohibited pesticide, piperonyl butoxide (PBO). OCP’s Compliance Team has learned that some adult use cultivators are using a “bomb” type pesticide that contains PBO before starting a grow room. This is a reminder that PBO is a prohibited pesticide, and applying any pesticide using a bomb method, or other application methods, leaves residue that will remain in the room and could affect your plants.

Don't forget! After June 12, 2023, all adult use cannabis flower, trim, and concentrate must pass mandatory testing for pesticides before being being further manufactured or transferred to retail for sale to consumers, including any inventory of cannabis flower, trim, or concentrate that passed all mandatory testing required before December 12, 2022.
