    Q
    Can I use Sevin Dust 5% on cannabis plants in the vegetative stage to treat for spider mites and other insects?
    A

    Unfortunately we cannot give advice on Sevin Dust 5% - 3 Pack or any other product for use on cannabis unless it is listed on the product label. We recommend you check with your local department of agriculture to see if they have released of a list products that can now be used on cannabis. We do know that state of Washington has compiled a list for cannabis and other states are starting to do so as well.
