Its actually very simple.
Phosphoload contains high levels of Daminozide and much lower levels of PBZ. The PBZ levels in fact may not be an issue but certainly the Daminozide levels are. It is a myth that PBZ is carcinogenic - it has never been shown to be carcinogenic - whereas Daminozide and certainly its by product UDMH are probably human carcinogens with other implications, praticularly to immuneosuppressed med users.
RE PBZ
PACLOBUTRAZOL
Paclobutrazol (CASRN 76738-62-0) is classed as a herbicide/pesticide PGR. Paclobutrazol is an S5 poison. Its use is prohibited in the EU. The WHO lists Paclobutrazol as “Moderately Hazardous”, while the US EPA lists it as “not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity” with:
“Substance Name — Paclobutrazol
This substance/agent has not undergone a complete evaluation and determination under US EPA's IRIS program for evidence of human carcinogenic potential. “

Paclobutrazol is a triazole type plant growth retardant which blocks gibberellin biosynthesis and are involved in reducing abscisic acid, ethylene and indole-3-acetic acid while increasing cytokinin levels. It promotes fruit set in the states of inhibited development. It is also known that it protect plants against abiotic stresses.
In plain English (laymans terms) this means Paclobutrazol is a systemic growth regulator that reduces internode lengths of new shoots and causes earlier formation of terminal buds. It is used primarily as a plant growth regulator for turf grass, grapevines, trees (non fruit variety), and apple, stone fruit and mango trees. Paclobutrazol has reasonably long withholding periods (dependent on application rates and crop type). In some cases, control of growth may persist for more than one year. Typically, however, withholding periods are listed with registered Paclobutrazol products at between 20 and 40 days.
Paclobutrazol has been shown to be an environmental contaminant (Kathrin Reintjes et al 2006). In field situations, paclobutrazol is shown to have a half-life ranging from 3 to12 months (Lever 1986) or 12 to 18 months, although some have reported persistence as long as 3 years (Jacyna and Dodds, 1995). Some commercial greenhouse operations have had issues dealing with chemical residues.1
The persistence of Paclobutrazol in soil may result in contamination of nearby water bodies, thus presenting a possible hazard to human and animal health, and could also influence soil microbial activity with further effects on biodiversity.2
The hazards (if any) of using Paclobutrazol on a short-term deciduous crop that is consumed via combustion (i.e cannabis) are completely unknown.

Keep an eye on where I will post FOIA from the CDFA (upon receiving it which I have been told I will) that shows the actives in these products (based on lab tests and not rumours that have circulated around forums and somehow become fact)
yeah thats good info motherF
however IMO Paclobutrazol has no influence on faster setting of fruit and heavier harvest, ive done a heap of research in the past and to my understanding its only desirable effect some people like is inhibiting vertical growth or stretch...
Chlormequat chloride however sets fruit faster and increases yield if used correctly and has been found in many nutrients and consequently have been banned as they were a secret pgr ingredient not printed on the label and also illegal in some countries.
IMHO from all the reports and threads ive read,
phosphoload delivers what chlormequat chloride (cycocell77A) does
but im puzzled as most watchdogs are onto all the other companies and have canned the products using manufactured pgrs, so if phosphaload is still on the shelves gotta look at boosters like
Triacontanol...
maybe we should be researching it as its a so called magic ingredient which can be left unlisted and kept under wraps as their secret ingredient in a booster nutrient.
Companies producing these "magic juices" can do so as its a natural substance which can be harvested and extracted from beeswax and alfalfa meal etc...
you will spot these products as they claim what the cooked up pgr's dont deliver, and thats larger yield + BETTER QUALITY
hmmm
sorry to ramble on this mad scientist stuff just interests the hell outta me
rock on :banana1sv6:
