Cannabis is a superaccummulator of heavy metals thru its root system. So much so that hemp is used as such at heavy metal waste sites.
You dont know what the F is in the corroding metal that is most likely from china lol.Never heard of that before, learn something new everyday. I did look up if the concrete reinforcement wire is use is bad. Here’s what I found

I use it because, I have it left over from jobs and it’s handy. People voiced concerns about abrasions etc on the plant from rubbing. I’ve found it’s of concern, meaning it’s minimal. Compared to not using it and have my plants get wreck by the wind.
