Pgrs

What are some pgrs that you have used and why? I’m just curious. I have no intention of using them and I want to try new nutrients but I don’t want to use any with pgrs in them, I don’t see much talk about them here as to what bottles . I see hulk juice everywhere and I know that’s one pgr but what are some of the others?

Piccolo is the name of a product with 4% paclobutrazol. Scary shit, I've never used it and never will. A lot of the commercial growers(and small growers) around where I live use it. It will give your flowers more weight, but I'm scared of getting cancer or something. It's a bad chemical, landscapers use it to keep bushes short. Strawberry farmers use it a lot. If you've ever eaten a strawberry that was too big to believe, then it might have had paclobutrazol in it.

Yeah I have eaten a few of those strawberries. Thanks for the input. I always hear of pgrs and how like gravity had them in just wondering what are list of names so I can avoid them because I’m always trying out new nutes and I just don’t need that crap in my lungs

Never heard of it either, but now that I have I know to stay far from it. Thanks for the heads up.

Bro you dropping all the knowledge.. why you don’t use it if you can remove it from the final product using recover?

holy shit, so how much bud out there is laced with this shit??????? yet another reason to grow your own quality not quantity

Triacontanol, auxins, cytokines, all naturally occurring in Alfalfa and seaweed is good stuff. I wouldn't ever mess with any weird cancer-berry chemicals lol.

just been looking up plant growth regulators and natural is the way to go like rurumo just mentioned the alfalfa and seaweed. avoid any chemical at all costs

also Nitrit-Nitrogen can cause lung-cancer and damage human red bloodcells.

"Toxicity
The existence of nitrite ions in water samples and human food product sources can cause various human diseases. For example, nitrites can produce N-nitrosamines in the presence of secondary amines which are likely to cause stomach cancer. These materials can also react with hemoglobin producing methemoglobin which decreases blood oxygen-carrying capacity in the concentration of 50 mg kg−1 of baby foods in infants and young children. It should be added that the presence of nitrate can cause the same effect due to its transformation to nitrite in the digestive system and/or by a microbial reduction in food products."


One major reason to not overfertilize with N. Guess what all the commercials do? And not even proper curing...

Homegrower-weed = superior

I've probably sprayed several thousand gallons of PGR's. Never on anything that was edible or smokable. Personally would like my smoke PGR free. Just wouldn't know long term effects.

It's funny how most of the "bloom boosting" products that aren't just straight p/k typically have some combination of alfalfa, seaweed, humic/fulvic, and "amino acids" like Liquid Karma or Floralicious (or dozens of others.) Fish and seaweed are the gold standard fertilizers for most of human existence! But to answer your question, it depends on if I'm doing a super soil type grow or a coco grow with organic nutes. The nutes I use typically have alfalfa, but if I try anything new that doesn't have it, I add alfalfa through a weekly tea at the very least. I LOVE Bioag Ful Power + liquid kelp (and a little aloe juice) as a foliar, and for a seed soak/seedling root drench. Nothing grows roots faster than some light alfalfa + aloe juice-it's why GH Rapid Start is so popular. Weekly aerated EWC based teas are a great way to try out some of these things, without disrupting your usual nutrient schedule too much-oh and lastly, fish hydrolysate like Neptune's Harvest, is the world's best amino acid additive and it works great in weekly teas.

That place is down the street from me. Works pretty awesome on anything that grows. Check out their rose&flowering formula.
