@Muiredach and all you 4C Labs peeps

"Original Post:Was admiring the nugs through my phone camera & something slightly shiny (first pic) caught my eye, thought it was a little bit of plastic at first but after inspecting further it turned out to be wings & then I saw the bug. Checked another 2 nugs & found another similar one with wings & then 2 different ones.They are really tiny so I couldn't figure out if it was purple leaf or a bug at first to the naked eye without getting my phone camera really close to it with macro lense",

Shocking new images have emerged showing bugs in medical cannabis products, and I’m genuinely appalled. This raises serious concerns about quality control and the standards some brands are following or failing to follow. Patients rely on these products for their health, and the idea that contaminants like this are slipping through the cracks is unacceptable. The system clearly needs improvement, from stricter regulations to better enforcement, to ensure patients are receiving safe, clean medicine. It’s time for brands and the industry as a whole to step up, because this simply should NOT be happening!

trust me they can get out ,with a son like mine the toilet window remains open even in a blizzard.

I've filled in a yellow card report to report it, I get the use of predator bugs I really do, I've used spider mites myself but honestly the environmental controls should be on point, not like my dodgy tent duck taped to my roof, made out of mylar and black/white plastic sheeting

 

[Muiredach]

We've just heard that a statement should be going out to clinics from the distributor over the next day or two, after testing both a return from patients and a retention sample. We'll cover here when it goes out.

I know mine was picked up from the pharmacy on the 2nd, so I'm keen to hear what the results are! Thanks for the update.

Just to say that yes predator bugs are used but never heard them being used in a commercial, legit grow. Spider mites are hardy little buggers and can take a mammoth effort to be rid for good once infested. Apologies if anyone is squeamish but some years back a friend had some that he said was making a 'popping' sound when smoked. He thought it might be seeded until I looked and immediately saw it had a spider mite infestation. Generally, the only real way to get rid is to completely wash down and change growing medium, tubs etc etc etc. Even better to shut down for a couple of weeks also.......or so I'm told

O.K. I used to know the champion spidermite breeder for 2 or 3 years running back in 2010 and the only way they changed it is by stopping using heritage cuttings and clean ,sterilize with o2 and switch to seeds cured it . Imagine they were using infested mothers ,it'd would make it persistent no matter how many times they clean their flowering warehouse.

They're hardy buggers to get rid off ...... A commercial grow should have strict environmental controls I would have thought, just seems poor by Qwest.

Just wondering if you know, if there's been an update?

Little update, IPS kindly refunded me for my Bubble Bath, but they're still waiting on the report.

How long from first reported to refunded?

 

[Lampylad]

How long from first reported to refunded?

It's about nearly three weeks, it includes the time to pick up the flower and then send on for testing

How long from first reported to refunded?

Mine was about 5 days till I received replacement ,but they agreed straight away to a credit note when I shown them the rest was just procedure with getting a script wrote and delivery .

I would have preferred that approach

Its such a stupid system some of these medications are being dispensed with only weeks before expiry date. How can they expect you to sit that long they could of said nope were allowed 0.2g insects. Ciao
