What's with these nuggz?

[Tomatoesonly]

A friend smokes this stuff, and I'm trying to tell him it's not natural. He thinks this is how professional nugs look and that homegrown is just amateur hour.
WTF is the producer doing? Are they rolling mids in THCa, or taking grade A nugs and rolling them in kief that they collect?
He won't even try a regular looking nug.

Looks like they were grown using PGRs (hormones used in agriculture). Nasty stuff lol.

Some bud does grow very dense like that, plus if it's been vacuum packed that makes them even more dense. I've definitely smoked bud that looked like similar that I know had no PGR used on it, but that would be my guess too.

 

[phatkidgenetics]

yeah some modern stuff does look like that but also looks pgr. but yeah could be vacuum packed but looks ugly to me. theres such a weird culture around modern commercial stuff and people think they know everything when they havent put in any work besides reading lab numbers and smoking commercial junk.

Everyone jumps to PGR but from what I’ve seen a lot of these aggressive auto trimmers make the buds look like that

 

[weedemart]

It does that when you sift your buds before you dump it to customers. It's the trichomes taxes. I bet his dealer smoke or sell hash.

 

[Cvh]

They definitely look vacuum pressed. This is what you get then, compacted nugs that are very hard and not loose fluffy like regular buds

I can't tell that they're grown using pgr's how they look now. Hard to say too that they got tumbled or not to steal some trichomes.

Can't say either that they got auto trimmed or hand trimmed because of the nugs compression. I do see leaf but that doesn't mean automatically that's it auto trimmed.

So, vacuum pressed yes definitely. All the rest I cannot say. But someone else might.

Every time I have tried what I thought was PGR bud it has had unique floral note to the smoke. If you do not know what non PGR smoke smells tastes like you would not know it is different. And they were all different variety's.

They are selling this looking Weed in Germany as "cali" weed for like 20 to 25 euros a gram lol

What pgr specifically?







Pgr is a term much like std it in itself means nothing.
Rooting hormones are pgr's.

I think Paclo is the big offender, but there are still people even on this board who will advocate it's use.

Ya mate is an idiot!
Nah most buds that look like that have been all machine trimed and spend a long time rolling around with other buds and getting squashed or compressed. Almost all buds would end up like that if they were treated so poorly! All Aussie medical weed looks like that!

This is what Asian gangs are growing in massive quantities in Australia. Has no smell at all and basically no thc! It's also has no taste whatsoever. I'm not sure what PGR specifically but it makes the buds totally useless!!
They also barely grow any leaves. No smell easy to conceal large amounts and almost no leaf so barely any trimming.

Plant growth regulators...and they arent evil, they are needed in plant micro-propigation when being a science guy.

Some are yes, but some are not meant to be used in plants that are consumed as they can leave harmful residue in the plant tissue, which is then passed on to the end user. Tends to be much more common where cannabis is still illegal and commands a higher price per unit.

 

[buteo]

Using them in a manor as described is a cheap trick. In the lab plant growth regulators can be used in tissue culture. Or of course as stated before for "rooting" clones. A lot are very dangerous and should be used properly and sparingly.

Sorry I assumed bud that looks like that and taste that way, is from PGR's. So if I take my regular grown bud and mechanically trim it and vacum seal it, it will some how magically get more resin and become solid and change the flavor of the smoke? I have never had rooting hormone make buds that look like that, what do I do with it? The rooting hormone that is. It may just be LED grown bud that I have tried, do LED's change the texture and taste of the buds? What about cal-mag? I see everyone is feeding it too. I am mostly jesting, I have no inclination in changing my methods.
