PGR

Definition

Abbreviation for plant growth regulators—synthetic hormones sometimes misused to control cannabis plant size or speed up flowering. While they can increase density, PGRs often degrade flavor and may pose health concerns if not properly regulated.

"Customers avoided that grower after lab tests revealed PGR residues in the buds."
