The good, bad, and the ugly of Canna-nutes

[~GS~]

 

Why I prefer pure 'chemical' nutes, cause I can get a MSDS on them and find out what small percentage of toxic substances are left in them after manufacture. Cannanutes "organic" can be *dangerous* for your health. Removed from "store shelves" as in hydro stores that sell primarily to MJ growers!

One more reason to vap, instead of combustion !

Look at all the ferts that use chicken/poultry manure...are these sources certified, as free from growth hormones, antibiotics, other medicines or chemical that birds may be exposed to or ingesting? I don't want to smoke or vap those kinds of substances of unknown health risks.

Long-banned Alar (Daminozide) Shows Up on Hydroponic Store Shelves Before Being Removed Again

In 1988, DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis Young ruled that, “Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.” And, although the DEA ignored Judge Young’s recommendation to reclassify the plant from its federal status as a dangerous drug with no medical value, smoking cannabis remains relatively benign with little-to-no side effects.

That said, it’s important to understand certain safety consequences with regard to cultivating cannabis, especially in light of its increased commercialization in medical marijuana states. As an example, in May the States of California and Oregon removed from the retail hydroponic market several popular flowering additives after the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) found them to contain high levels of long-banned Daminozide (Alar), a known “probable” human carcinogen.

A subsequent Freedom of Information Act request yielded the concentrations of Daminozide in products such as Flower Dragon, Phosphoload, and Top Load. Two other products quarantined in the CDFA sweep, Emerald Triangle Bushmaster and Gravity, were found to contain Paclobutrazol, which has been listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as moderately hazardous and banned for use in many European countries.

According to G. Low, author of Integral Hydroponics and the one who filed the recent FOIA request, “In field situations, Paclobutrazol has a half-life ranging from 3 to12 months, but could persist as long as 3 years.” G. Low added that:

Both Paclobutrazol and Daminozide are systemic products with long withholding periods, meaning that it is likely to remain residual in harvested produce when used to cultivate a short-term deciduous crop (i.e. cannabis). What these toxins do under combustion when ingested into the lungs is a completely unknown factor. However, the Material Safety Data Sheet for Paclobutrazol states that when it’s heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes.

Daminozide was banned in the U.S. in 1989 for use on any consumable crop. Calling Alar a “potent human carcinogen” at the time, 60 Minutes ran a program that exposed the widespread use of Alar by U.S. apple growers.

So how did known carcinogens find their way back onto the market?

In each instance, these popular products were marketed to cultivators as containing organic actives (e.g. “kelp”, “rare earth elements”, “citrates”, “humatic isolates,” etc.) and sold in retail hydroponic stores throughout the U.S.

So that patients do not unwittingly become pawns in an increasingly commercial market driven by quantity and efficiency, as opposed to safety, the patient community must demand responsible cultivation methods, limiting the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides and other toxic adulterants

Then go with the BioCanna line homie...they're 100% Organic 100% Vegan

BIOCANNA fertilisers are produced in accordance with a complex process. An important step in this process is fermentation. Fermentation is the breaking down of complex substances by means of micro-organisms. Among other things, fermentation is used in the production of wine and beer.

After long research into special micro-organisms and vegetable raw produce, CannaResearch has succeeded in developing a 100% controlled fermentation process. This makes it possible to obtain a consistent product with exactly the right mineral composition and organic ingredients. The substances in BIOCANNA products are immediately absorbable, and stimulate the plant's metabolism and resistance. In addition, they improve the soil quality and the biodiversity.
Thanks to the unique fermentation process BIOCANNA products are rich in bioactive substances, such as fruit acids and oligosaccharines.
The introduction of BIOCANNA fertilisers makes the first liquid biological fertilisers a reality.

BIOCANNA fertilisers are guaranteed 100% organic and especially developed for cultivation on soil.
Products grown with BIOCANNA fertilisers may be called biological or ecological (abbreviated EKO in Dutch), provided they are grown biologically and in accordance with the international SKAL guidelines

BIOCANNA fertilisers are not only SKAL Int. certified, but also have the exact right preparation method, thus preventing an overdose of nutrients. Overdosing does not only harm the environment but also the plant, which can cause growth problems.
It is also possible that a plant receives insufficient nutrients due to an incorrect method of preparation.

Not to rag on veganics but come on that clean really. and yeah people should stop posting non organic things in the organics section.

Yes veganic is the cleanest smoke in the world. I tried veganic and saw that snow white ash with the sweet flavor I haven't looked back since.

biovega and bioflores by canna are the absolute shit and if possible i would use nothing else.
