It smells like bananas and the primary ingredient is potassium salts. It's basically otherwise a smoothie of processed natural flavor extracts. They claim that cannabis will directly uptake terpines/esters/flavinoids in the soil for some reason. Like adding food coloring to a vase of water and putting daisies in it or something.... Yet somehow my herb never tastes like fish or any other nasty stuff I give them. I'm not sure if it works or not. They do benefit from the potassium spike though.
The dosage as indicated seems kind of high....what dosage is best to start using it at and how many times a month?

Depends. I used it daily following the directions on the label. Definitely increased the dankness.

I agree it’s not needed and otherwise overpriced.
From all I could gather any product claiming to boost trichomes and terps contains natural pgrs along with it seems K. The natural pgrs are triacontanol and/or salicylic acid. The former might come from alfalfa and the latter from plants and in particular the bark of willow trees.
But I want to get back to the question at hand. RESULTS??? Yeah it’s expensive AF but it it works maybe some will pay them to market it. For us small hobbyists paying an extra 20 bucks a month is part of the fun. But if your in for the money you can buy both of those natural prgrs in bulk very cheap.

That's called a plant growth hormone, then. Not a plant growth regulator.

Triacontanol is an alcohol molecule extracted from beeswax and is not a hormone.

Omg lol that's pretty much incorrect? I mean, it is in beeswax, but it is definitely a plant hormone that plants make lol. It's the main reason alfalfa is a crucial annual input, in my dirt.

Looking for something to read along with me? Check out this older report on triacontanol. You can play with this stuff naturally by using our alfalfa sprouting seeds and use of SST methods. TRIACONTANOL AS A GROWTH STIMULANT - A REPORT OF TWO EXPERIMENTSBy D.L Hinerman, M.D. and S.L. Kunkel...

Yes Its also found in plant waxes, Basically they resemble a molecule close to a specific fungus and thus provokes a resistance mode (SAR)Omg lol that's pretty much incorrect?

And triacontanol is a natural pgr. Look it up. From the scant research I’ve done alfalfa is the main source for which it is derived. https://www.agsolcanada.com/individual-product-info/triacontanol

I've ran the Lucas formula with cal mag and silica with great results.
I did.
So do you use it? You follow the ml/gl? I bought some and want to know if it’s just snake oil is why I read and replied. I am thinking I paid money for mostly eater. The rates of app are pretty high. And it would add. lots of K.
So what’s wrong with correcting people??? Triacontanol is a known PGR and likely in there. As most miracle elixirs have it and maybe salicylic acid.

Yes, I use Triacontanol beeswax extract, Brassinolide ( isolated from rapeseed pollen) and chitosan (crustacean shell byproduct)
