Hey all,

Just wanted to share this information as I'm seeing this brought up more and more in grow circles, not necessarily here but wanted to make sure you guys were aware of the dangers of Eagle 20. A widely popular and effective fungicide for ornamental turf that had widespread use in edibles like grapes and fruits, because of its relative safeness as an edible plant fungicide people assume they can use it with Cannabis but that is far from the truth. When smoked Eagle 20 releases multiple toxic and cancerous chemicals as well as immediately dangerous and lethal ones such as cyanide.

I know of someone in the hospital right now who had brain swelling and had to be induced into a coma and will likely have permanent brain damage for the rest of his life because he smoked cannabis treated with Eagle 20, we know it was Eagle 20 because the grower admitted to using it unknowing of the bad effect it would cause.

Eagle 20 is a systemic fungicide. For those who don't know there are contact fungicides and systemic fungicides. Contact fungicides only work where they directly make contact whereas a systemic fungicide will actually be absorbed by the plant tissue and bio-life that it makes contact with.

Eagle 20 will also be absorbed in the soil, it's very important to note that a big part of decay with Eagle 20's ingredients relies on photo and atmospheric degradation (as stated in their MSDS).

Now, the half life of Eagle 20 listed on their MSDS is 64 days. The half life is the amount of time it would take for half of the material to decay. If you know much about how this process works you'll also know about exponential decay, which tells us that the process of decay does not speed up as time goes on but slows down. This is why some materials have a half life of a few thousand years but bits of it will be around a million years later.

Now, the important thing to remember here also is that Eagle 20 in the soil will take MUCH MUCH longer, and will be pulled up by the plant beyond the date you sprayed it.

This next comment is purely anecdotal as well but I know growers have reported labs finding eagle 20 in their buds up to a year after it was supposedly sprayed.

Also while Eagle 20 is known to be cancerous (seriously its on the MSDS also) it was considered (and still is by some) to be safe orally (in very very small dosages dont drink this shit) but the MSDS also states that when heated beyond 400 degrees fahrenheit (your lighter does more than double tht btw) it releases highly toxic gases such as cyanide, which you are now inhaling straight into your lungs.
