I've called numerous shops in socal and they all said that indeed Gravity and Bushmaster are no longer allowed to be sold by their distributors because these products contain PGR's (Plant Growth Regulators) and that the state of california says these are known to cause cancer, (um hello... what about cigarettes??). At the same time a few places went on to tell me that they've seen this happen to other products before and that after some label changes those products were back on the shelves in a few months. But do ya really want to put stuff in your girls that could potentially be real bad for you?
This post was from another site on Bushmaster and Gravity being banned:
"Supposedly, it is a matter of labeling, not the stuff itself being banned outright, so it may come back on the market, eventually. If you read the label, it is deliberately vague...they say it's .75% ascophuyllum nodosum kelp extract, and .01% B1...the same exact stuff is available in many other products, although I am not aware of anything else that effectively does what Bushmaster does.
I suspect that Emerald Triangle didn't want the original label on the products to have a full list of ingredients...probably because they know savvy growers can get the same basic stuff, from another source, for far cheaper.
Far easier, to charge a premium, for an unlisted "magic ingredient"...if the product works, people will tell their friends about it, and only the most diligent growers will bother to find out what is actually in the stuff, and where to get it.
Which begs the question: What is in this stuff? Most likely, a combination of auxins and giberellins, but maybe in a specific ratio?
If anybody knows, please chime in..."
