Rox flower enhancer.

[J81]

I’m finding conflicting info on here and on other forums.

Is this a safe PGR or is it the nasty stuff that is carcinogenic when smoked?

If it’s safe and doesn’t ruin taste I’m thinking it will stop stretch after flip?

I have used this years ago, but as you say their are lots of conflicting information, can't say I noticed any negatives in the smoke after using it, and yes it pretty much kills stretch dead.

Its not something I have used for a long time, or something I plan to use again, its also very expensive, I tend to use Kelp/Humic acid now, as this contains natural PGR's rather than synthetic PGR's.

Good luck

I’ve got nitrozyme which is derived from kelp.

I’ll look into natural PGR’s. I thought all the bad stuff was banned.

I've not tried Rox myself but have been impressed with the results I've seen from other peoples plants..

Yup, it's a PGR & carcinogenic

It’s a product for commercial growers, good for increasing end weight… Correct feeding and a dialled in grow room gives the same results with better terpene production. Save the cash, the smoke will be much better without it.

You might want to check out Green Planet Massive. It's made with bee poo. Not the cancer stuff.

Anyways, I started using it right when flowering started and the plants still stretched. Maybe it is because it's the organic PGR or maybe the genetics were just too strong.

Dunno. I'm not using it any longer.

I’m currently using canna a&b, canna boost and nitrozyme foliar once a week. Got pk13/14 but I’ve not added it yet.

A Australian website lists canna boost as a pgr alternative but I’ve used it on and off for years and never noticed it reduce stretch.

I’ll take a look at green planet massive.

I have used Canna Boost before, I have also used Kelp/humic acid, which have natural PGR's, none of these have reduced stretch for me.

Have to admit thou, the couple of grows I used Rox, it killed stretch dead. I generally added about 50ml per 50 litres of feed, and after about 2 days feed, the stretch would just stop dead. I only ever used 50ml over the whole grow.

One of the old time growers on here, Oxy, used to swear by Rox, and pretty much used it every grow, might be worth having a look at his diaries, they should be somewhere in the Hydro section, as he was an ebb and flow grower.

PGR's are found in nature, like I say certain elements produce them naturally, but Rox contains synthetic PGR's, which are obviously a man made version of a PGR.

I am not going to say Rox is bad, as it does seem to produce results, whether its carcinogenic, or not is very debatable, as by definition that means "having the potential to cause cancer", with potential being the operative word.

I personally wouldn't take the risk, but a bit like smoking tobacco, which is also carcinogenic, in small amounts, I dont think their is a huge amount of evidence its any worse than tobacco.

If it’s only used to reduce stretch at flip in low doses, surely there are only trace amounts of it once the bud is flushed and harvested?

A bit like John Jones picograms.

I was on a form once where a guy dipped some clones in systemic miticide, grew the plants out and tested the flowers. The flowers still failed to pass, the myoside was still present. Since my decides are neurotoxins and past the blood-brain barrier I've never touched them since.

I don't really know about this rox stuff. I just don't have the news for it.
