So we have all heard of PGR's (Plant Growth Regulators) and how they are bad for your long term health.

However there are some natural PGR's without those long term health risks that some growers use even today, perhaps unknowingly.

Triacontanol was first isolated in 1933 from alfalfa wax.

It was identified as a saturated straight chain primary alcohol.

Triacontanol is found in various plant species as a minor component of the epicuticular wax.

In wheat, triacontanol is about 3-4% of the leaf wax.

The… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Triacontanol has been reported to increase productivity of some plants that have some therapeutic properties.

In addition, the effects of triacontanol are observed in opium and morphine production.
Triacontanol improves the rate of cell division in a plant that produces larger roots and shoots.

It has been shown that if triacontanol is applied during the maximized growth period of a plant in a appropriate amount, it enhances the enzymatic activity in the roots and hormone… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Triacontanol as a versatile plant growth regulator in overcoming negative effects of salt stress.
Highlights

•Soil salinity is the most prevalent abiotic stress among the many environmental stresses.

•Plant growth regulators are signalling molecules controlling plant growth phases.

•TRIA is natural plant growth regulator regulating developmental processes in crops.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Soil salinity is a key limiting factor to agricultural land production across the world, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions, since it interferes with plant physio-biochemical processes, resulting in reduced growth, development and crop yield.

Plants, on the other hand,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
(TRIA), a natural plant growth regulator in epicuticular waxes, is one of them.

It is used on millions of hectares to increase agricultural productivity.

A number of studies have documented TRIA-mediated improvements in growth, yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, water… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Soil salinity is the most prevalent abiotic stress among the many environmental stresses, and it is a serious concern for agriculture, impacting crop growth, development and production.

Approximately 930 million hectares of arable land worldwide are salt-affected, accounting for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
One effective stress tolerance strategy is the use of growth regulators because of their beneficial role in plant functions.

PGR are important signalling molecules that control a variety of plant growth and development phases as well as abiotic stress tolerance directly or… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Triacontanol is a naturally occurring saturated primary alcohol, first identified in alfalfa hay, that affects many physio-biochemical processes in different crop plants.

Aside from its involvement role in the induction of defense-related genes. Triacontanol has been interesting for researchers working to increase crop productivity under abiotic stress conditions, including salt stress, because of its stimulatory effects on water and nutrient… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The effects of TRIA on various plants.

Salinity stress impacts various plant developmental processes by altering turgor, morphological parameters, photosynthesis, and various other physiological processes.

Salinity stress causes a reduction in the plant's potential to accumulate water and essential nutrients like… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Photosynthetic apparatus is also harmfully affected by salinity at any phase of the plant's life cycle by altering the content of photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll formation, chloroplast organization, damaging chloroplast membranes, triggering modifications in the structure… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Reduction in soil porosity was observed due to the alterations in the soil texture by the high Na+ concentration in soil, which ultimately led to the decline of soil aeration and water conductance.

High salt deposition in the soil causes zones of low water potential, which… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Does canna boost contain TRIA?

From uBercaMeL

The main active ingredient in boost is almost definitely triacontanol, canna states it is fatty acid/alcohols from fermented 'plants', which fits (it's a posh alfalfa & molasses extraction). It would also… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Alfalfa not only provides extremely valuable, high-protein forage for livestock, it also fixes substantial amounts of nitrogen (N), much of which is stored in the crown and roots.

When alfalfa stands are rotated into another crop, such as corn, this… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As the alfalfa crop dies, the roots decay, releasing stored N into the soil for the succeeding crop.

If a grower plants corn after plowing up an alfalfa stand, the corn usually won't require supplemental N.

In fact, if the grower keeps the field in corn a second year,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Does Honey Help Cannabis Grow?

royalqueenseeds.com/us/blog-using-….

Honey can support the growth of cannabis plants in numerous ways, from providing key macronutrients to stimulating root growth and regulating microorganisms that make up the soil food web. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Honey and gardening might seem like an odd pairing, but we’re about to make it all make sense.

Below are the key benefits of using honey in your cannabis grow:

Honey is a good source of sugars: Plants spend a whole lot of time making their own sugars through photosynthesis.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Honey as a Rooting Hormone for Weed Clones

Honey works great as a natural and sustainable rooting hormone option compared to conventional synthetic products. Here’s why:

Honey as a Cannabis Fertiliser

Honey contains an array of macronutrients and micronutrients that weed plants need to grow optimally. As well as all three macronutrients, honey also serves as a source of calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.

Follow these steps to use honey as a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Honey as a Foliar Spray

Foliar sprays take advantage of the small openings on cannabis leaves. Known as stomata, these structures allow growers to bypass the root system and deliver molecules directly into plants. Honey foliar sprays provide nutrients and also likely influence… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Honey Traps Help to Keep Pest Pressure Down

Honey can help to remove pests from your growing space. Insert small jars into your soil, so the lip of the jar sits just above the soil surface. Add some honey and, over the next few days, watch your trap catch slugs and fungus gnats.

Instagram accounts offering to sell illicit sex material generally don’t publish it openly, instead posting “menus” of content. Certain accounts invite buyers to commission specific acts. Some menus include prices for videos of children harming themselves and “imagery of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Since receiving the Journal queries, the platform said it has blocked thousands of hashtags that sexualize children, some with millions of posts, and restricted its systems from recommending users search for terms known to be associated with sex abuse.
