Here is what Green Leaf said about Gravitron. Be aware!

"Gravitron has PGR's, so unless you really know what that is, I wouldn't use it. MEGA is definitely essential, Sweet Candy works pretty well in Coco which makes a good option if you want to boost carbs!"

So I just finished an article on PGRs ... so they seem to change the plant structures by either enhancing growth or slows it down “ The term PGR has come to include many things, and not all of them are harmful. Some of the of major classifications of plant growth regulators are auxins, cytokinins, ethylene generators, gibberellins and growth inhibitors/retardants. Auxins elongate shoots. They are primarily used to increase growth, flower formation and to increase root mass.“ it doesn’t sound like PGRs are necessarily bad I know that there is some legalities about them being used for human consumption but what negatives would they have actually in the plant and one who consumes it?

That’s funny I was just emailing Greenleaf about gravitron and they warned me against it not sure why as I definitely would like the qualities that come along with this product to be emulated in my plants
Ill look up PGRs and see what and why they are making a product they are warning people against
Gravitron has Paclobutrazol

If you do any growing for and medical or recreational states that require testing certificates, this will probably disqualify it. Its a bit controversial if it is dangerous at all, but we might just axe the product completely or make a version without PGR. In EU its fine and acceptable for crops, and they have high standards.

it depends on which ones you use, triacontonal is produced in the waxy walls of plants and vegetables, and in bees wax. alfalfa meal is a good source, and it's totally harmless, as far as i can discover. brassinolide is another pgr thats harmless as far as research can determine, and significantly boosts plant metabolism. properly used 6-bap can boost flowering and fruiting in all kinds of plants.
i've heard bad things about paclobutrazol, but the data i can find doesn't look that terrible. however, i still wouldn't use it.

Thanks for the reply amd explaination ... I’m gonna pick some up Amd give it a try... After reading a bit about it I agree with you ...
But I do think making a version of this product without the PGR’s would be in the company‘s best interest
You know how hippies get around salts... lol.. jk
Thanks again

Really I can’t find anything that awful about the chemical
Paclobutrazol is a plant growth retardant and triazole fungicide. It is a known antagonist of the plant hormone gibberellin.
Seems like it stimulates production of Bud by slowing thing down...
Well I’ll do a little bit more research before pull the trigger on this product but if it has good results from other users I might give a try ... supposed to be equal to Humboldt gravity well hopefully they’ll make a similar product without the PGRs in it

yeah, the main problem now, is legal and medical states require laboratory testing of buds and finished product, and this will show up on testing and disqualify it. So that is why we are advising people not to purchase it without really doing their research first!

I know Humboldt gravity had problems some years ago they had to pull it then came out with g-10. You even mention it in the description of your product. Do you know if g-10 uses the same pgr as gravitation?
