Pgr

Hate to pop anyone’s bubble but PGR is still used on fruit and veggies. It becomes a big deal when certain “ crops “ are treated “ off label “.

Some are used to promote flowering , seed production , fruit set , etc. - Sumagic is used on greenhouse vegetables. Funny thing is the PPE requirements for safety before use - that alone should alarm people.

Some better alternatives for the homegrower - for example- would be kelp ( natural auxins and cytokines ).

The problem with the "they use it on other foods" argument is, it may well be safe to eat, but has anyone done any testing to see if it's safe to smoke? Burning can drastically change the chemistry of compounds, it can make them more or less toxic or not effect them at all. There's much better alternatives. I know in many states PGR is on the no no list for dispensary weed.

Looks like it's been treated with Paclobutrazol. I would stay away at all cost! It's carcinogenic and the only permitted use is on ornamental plants.

It forces the plant to be dominant in producing carbohydrates in its tissues instead of cannabinoids. There's good and bad PGR's, the main problem is people use them incorrectly.

Monosaccharides and their chains has larger molecular mass compared to cannabinoids. It adds bulk and decrease quality and make it carcinogenic.
