Answered my own question.
Organic Plant Growth Regulators vs. Synthetic Plant Growth Regulators
We will discuss the synthetic PGRs in more detail below, so we have to focus on the organic/natural ones used in agriculture and food production. However, there are some healthy alternatives to these toxic plant growth regulators. For example, kelp has natural plant hormones that can help increase your yield. Other natural plant growth regulators include chitosan, a sugar found in shellfish’s exoskeleton, and triacontanol extracted from alfalfa hay. Their biggest advantages include:
- Similar effects as provided by their synthetic versions: the weed plants will enjoy enhanced growth patterns, while the weed buds will get denser.
- They present no risks to human health.
- They are environmentally friendly, meaning their residual infiltration in the soil or waterways doesn’t damage biodiversity.
The most common organic plant growth regulators used to obtain PGR weed include:
- Kelp
- Chitosan
- Triacontanol
For gray and black market growers and vendors, organic PGRs are less effective than synthetic ones. They cost more and do not produce the big, fat, tightly-packed, dense, colorful, and money-grabbing buds that boost profit. On the other hand, synthetic plant hormones produce unflavored, risky, and almost useless buds since they don’t bring the recreational or
medicinal THC we want so much to the table
