Man, there's some baby mamas out there with that very same query...I may have been clumsy. Now if I only knew which male.
Herm mayhaps?Got a Christmas gift. Cherry Gorilla IHG. The smoke is harsh but man it gets you blasted.
Do you think they used pgrs?

I wouldn’t buy it but I didn’t have to. Plus I found a seed funny enough a male must have busted before they grabbed him out cause it’s mature.
Hey h , what are pgrs ?Got a Christmas gift. Cherry Gorilla IHG. The smoke is harsh but man it gets you blasted.

Plant Growth Hormones. GA3 is an example of one.Hey h , what are pgrs ?
Wtf is that?Got a Christmas gift. Cherry Gorilla IHG. The smoke is harsh but man it gets you blasted.

homegrown brick weed?Wtf is that?
Like super thrive ?Plant Growth Hormones. GA3 is an example of one.
IIRC super thrive is just B vitamins. It's also regarded as snake oil at this point. I never noticed a difference with or without it, personally.Like super thrive ?

My Christmas-gifted dispensary weed just left me very... Finkle is Einhorn... or something....

No, it has a couple other compounds in it, but def not triacontanol. Per a quick google:I think superthrive had triacontanol no?
Its a rooting hormone that sucks for making cuttings. But its absolutely not snake oil. It helps plants grow and maintain healthy roots. The only time its useful is for transplanting or to help fix plants with root rot. Too much will delay flowering.No, it has a couple other compounds in it, but def not triacontanol. Per a quick google:
- B1 Vitamin
- 1-Napthyl acetic acid
Naphthylacetic acid (NAA) is also a commonly used auxin and often the active ingredient in commercial preparations.
There's something else too, but I'm having problems locating what it is. Either way, what it claims to do has never been confirmed. I think any effects people think it has are mostly a placebo effect, and the fact that it's mostly harmless (you won't kill anything with it) is why it's still found on store shelves.
Per what's on the label, it's not a hormone at all. Thiamine (B1) is not a hormone, nor is NAA. While Thiamine itself may influence root regeneration (Arizona State did a study on this and their results were inconclusive), NAA is the responsible component that impacts flowering -- it actually decreases crowning due to redirecting the plant's processes towards root regeneration vs crown development. Calling ST a rooting hormone is a misnomer and should be avoided. It's an additive that may or may not aid in a plant overcoming transplant shock.

Despite several months of research involving 184 cuttings and several species of plants, wewere unable to detect any beneficial effects from SUPERthrive™ on the success rates of ourNepenthescuttings, or on the growth rate of our established Nepenthesplants. We cannot excludethe possibility that SUPERthrive™ has subtle effects, but these were not observable in ourexperiments. This being the case, why is it that some of the finest Nepenthes horticulturists embrace SUPERthrive™ with such gusto?
It might be that when horticulturists apply SUPERthrive™,they do so in a way that is beneficial to their plants, and in which the presence of SUPERthrive™is irrelevant. For example, when a grower plunges freshly made cuttings into a water bath (as inExperiment II), the harmful effects of cavitation are being abated. During the course of this experiment, we learned that a water soak encourages our cuttings to root, so water soaks with-out SUPERthrive™ are now standard practice for us. Similarly, we learned that weekly sprinklings of water (as in Experiment III) improved the growth of our Nepenthes, whether or not SUPERthrive™ is included in the water.
Nepenthes plants have variable growth rates, and this can confound horticultural experi-ments. For example, in the population of N.×superba, we observed a range of growth rateswhich varied by as much as a factor of 7.7 within the same experimental groups. This variabili-ty produced enormous standard deviations in our statistics. They might also fool horticulturists into thinking that a treatment method, which might have no value, is having a large effect.
