Plant Growth Regulators!

Plant Growth Regulators (pgr's)more aptly named “plant growth retardants,” are commercially available in a variety of brand names, and the most common active ingredients are: ancymidol, chlormequat chloride, daminozide, ethephon, flurprimidol, paclobutrazol and uniconazole. Ancymidol, flurprimidol, paclobutrazol and uniconazole are all structurally similar and suppress gibberellin, a natural growt...h hormone that lengthens cells in the stem. Daminozide and chlormequat chloride also suppress gibberellin at different stages in its biosynthesis. Ethephon is the only PGR that works in a different mode of action; plants uptake ethephon and convert it into ethylene, which in turn suppresses cell elongation and reduces apical dominance. Cannabis exposed to PGR’s grows shorter and more uniform with denser flower that have an abundance of orange hairs and poor flavor.
Not only do these cause a horrible taste,In 1989 the Environmental Protection Agency cancelled the use of daminozide on crops for food citing studies that found it probably causes cancer, putting consumers at a risk of 45 in one million. And here we are using it in 30% of the brand loaders out there on the shelf. Studies done in lab mice show that paclobutrazol is toxic to the liver and other organs.
if you think the nugs are good because they are dense as fuck , or the bag consists of huge buds . you are wrong . the real fire nugs are good when they are sticky as fuck , super loud , and taste amazing while burning white ash all the way down to the end .
Support organic grown , soil growers who use natural additives and alternatives to make consumption of these products safe for our community. If i see you growing with pgr or spraying chemicals im going

I had no idea this was going on, thanks for the info.
Certainly the rock hard nug style is in vogue at the dispensaries out here ... I quickly learned that density isn't the same as quality.

I can't claim to be organic I'm afraid but I know and trust everything that goes into my plants and my homegrown is always a "cleaner" smoke than even the most expensive dispensary stuff here : )
