Tiny rock hard buds, look familiar?

[Madbud]

Is anyone familiar with these dime-size, rock hard buds?

they look a little like the pgr special I find at the grey market head shops around me

bonus ask them for any strain and they can have it next week (or sooner)

Friend sent the pic so i can’t offer much. Dispos here sell “smalls” but i havent tried any.

I have only been inside a dispensary to buy seeds. I I know legitimate dispensaries have to go through some rigorous testing before they can buy weed! Are PGR’s in weed something that is illegal for them to buy or sell? Or is it just frowned upon?

 

[alpha.ganjaguy]

not trying to be too harsh, it could be anything but that's what it reminds me of

most people who don't grow or know a grower have probably only ever seen pgr weed

What Is PGR Weed? What It Is, and How to Tell

PGR cannabis is a type of cannabis grown with the help of plant growth regulators. They’re unregulated and can be harmful to health.

Oh, I know what it is and it’s a known possible carcinogen! But I was just wondering if it is illegal for dispensaries on the up and up to handle it! Maybe it varies from state to state! Or is it strictly for bidden in legitimate dispensaries? And I wonder if they even test for it?

Hadn’t heard of PGR, i’ll pass that along. Reading pgr is soft, these little buds need a grinder.

 

[Oldchucky]

I guess I should get off my ass and go down to my local dispensary and ask them about it! Lol!

Plant growth, regulators!

opposite, plants grown with pgr's are typically rock hard dense, that's the entire point..

you can google your states regulations and what they test for afaik. To my knowledge they are not tested for (I don't even know if you could) and are most likely encouraged (speculating) as they are what give all the rec growers big harvest of dense nugs that the average rec user thinks is top quality.

do dispensaries even know what their growers are feeding their plants?

 

[Oldchucky]

Good question! I know they test for pesticide, fungicide, mold, etc.! I don’t know how deep their testing actually goes. Or how they are regulated! But I know legitimate dispensaries aren’t going to risk $1 million start up cost to sell back door weed! At least here in Calley, you better have an accurate paper trail!

 

[alpha.ganjaguy]

do dispensaries do that, I thought that's the growers responsibility.. oh you're in cali, then yes, probable 99% of what you see at the dispensaries is grown with pgr's.. it's not like a hidden secret

back door? who said anything about that lol but again, yes, especially in cali recs are notorious for it.. how do you think it gets to the black market.. I know ppl here in NY that go there and bring it back that way

 

[Oldchucky]

If you’re in the United States, 99% of the dispensary weed is probably grown with PGR’s’s! Doesn’t look like they test for them! Just test for the basics! That sounds like a pretty, cynical attitude! Getting old! Buyer beware!

 

[Oldchucky]

And you’re right! The growers get it tested.

I just did the Google and found that Washington State bans the use of PGRs for cannabis and all edible crops. There's actually a long list of banned products.

 

[Oldchucky]

Hope the other states follow if they haven’t already! Sounds like you can test for them!

 

[BB22]

I sure hope that there aren’t any unscrupulous folk on the semi-legal weed business to looking to make a buck

sadly though, like everything cannabis, there isn't one answer

I am an expert on the whole process! I watch, growing, Belushi! L O L!
