Full Growns

From The Stargate Omnipedia

Term used to describe adults or, more typically, individuals who have lived beyond their twenty-fifth birthday. To the people of M7G-677 the term was widely used as a stigma. According to their beliefs, a Full Grown could bring the presence of the Wraith, and therefore had to be removed from the planet as soon as possible.

It was only after Rodney McKay extended an electromagnetic shield (generated by a Z.P.M.) that the population was allowed to migrate into new parts of the wilderness, preventing the need for population control via the suicide pacts.
