You probably should read this.Ya I'm talking about you FDA
Thank you Lady SeaYou probably should read this.

Thanks man. Yes I guess I would need a chemistry back ground as I am not sure what components in PGR's are mobile or \immobile once the plant takes them up. Where is squiggly when you need a chemist........ LOLWell, I suppose when you flush (if long enough, early enough and low ec enough) any mobile elements could be removed from tissues and thus lowered. However, specific to MJ; it does all it can to preserve the flowers, so much of the mobilized nutes would be from leaf matter instead of flowers. Though, immobile elements are deposited for good and would be "you are what you eat".
As for PGR's I have no clue, but I would presume 1 of 2 cases happens. 1. If the PGR's are broken down to other compounds at some point; then that would just leave the reduced compounds. 2. If the plant does not have the ability to re-mobilize PGR's then they would ( I assume) stay.
Plants do have the ability to mobilize, produce and regulate several PGR's, though not the one's mentioned in Logics post. Nutrients as well have an affect on PGR's; I.e. Nitrate with auxin, Phosphorus with Cytokinins etc. So, I suppose just adding nutrients, we are adding / altering certain PGR's too.
I'm guessing that the "bad" PGR's that people talk about are not broken down or mobilized and would make sense if so.
Certain PGR's that respond to specific elements also increase with deficiencies. I.e. a sulfur deficiency will increase Auxins.
I suppose other PGR's change their effect based on stage of flowering. I.e. gibberellins are a flowering inhibitor leading into flowering, but are a flowering extender at later flowering stages (3-4 whorl).
Bunch of random stuff and I'm not sure if this helps to answer any of your quandaries, but I hope it helps some.
No, especially given the fact that PGR stands for plant growth regulator, I cannot say how the plant may or may not metabolize it. Plants have no livers.@Seamaiden I like the information and appreciate your stopping in. Can you speak to my question on whether PGR's specifically are incorporated into the plant tissue and are not flushed out by a 1-2 week flush?
i would say it depends specifically on the pgr used...some may stay for a long period of time, which is why they are for "ornamental use only"...others may be a flash of hormones used as a pgr, which are safe, and will only stay in the plants tissue for a certain amount of time(until the plant uses it all up)@Seamaiden I like the information and appreciate your stopping in.
