Trouble is when no competition quality can be non existent and still sell for folk are desperate

Other than very odd occasions. I have always got it from mates, actual mates, and a few of those are the people that grew it. If I needed to go out and buy some now it would be from the guy that got me into growing 20 years ago or the old guy at the end of the road, whose son grows it, and I helped with his shopping during lockdown. Actual friends.

I guess I have been kind of lucky.

Some of the cali stuff is from the states but its bud thats failed tests and cant be sold legally over there.... but allot now is pgr uk bud, as it seems the price doubles if its in a tin and grown with pgrs....

Wales here too and the majority up north is “Cali tins”. lol.

Cali tins. Ffs. They mean tins theyve bought on eBay and stuck the weed in to make it sell for £50-£80 an eighth.

It amazes me how people can be so stupid that they fall for that shit.

There are naturally occurring PGR’s in Kelp/Seaweed, coconut water, alfalfa meal etc.


some of these naturally occurring PGR’s (organic and not synthetic) people are using without realising they are in there.

cytokinins
Triacantonol
Gibberelins
brassinolide

I use triacantonol derived from beeswax during veg.

Ive found it helps keep things bushier as was noted about my impressive 7 weeks veg lol.

synthetic PGR’s are the ones for real concern IMO such as paclobutrazol etc.


paclo - helps to stop stretch and creates super tight dense buds but can hinder THC and terpene content and is carcinogenic creating NITROSIMANINES or something lol.

Paclobutrazol impacts a plant cell’s ability to elongate, which in cannabis means cells pack much tighter and denser on the flower. It also hinders the development of key terpenes on the plant, and reduces the ability of the plant to produce THC.

When buds which contains paclobutrazol are smoked, it breaks down into nitrosamines — the most carcinogenic compound found in cigarettes. Studies say paclobutrazol can negatively impact fertility, as well as cause liver damage.
