Balancing the Nutrient Equation in Cannabis Cultivation

[Guest]

Essential considerations for providing complete cannabis fertilization.

How many times have we heard that a balanced diet is essential to our health? Plant nutrition isn’t much different. Cannabis plants can thrive or struggle depending on how you design your fertilization programs. Plants require 17 essential elements for growth. They obtain hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and carbon (C) from irrigation water or as a gas via the atmosphere. Growers must provide the remaining 14 elements to help cannabis plants thrive.

These include the macroelements:

nitrogen (N)
phosphorus (P)
potassium (K)
calcium (Ca)
magnesium (Mg) and
sulfur (S).
And they also include the microelements:

boron (B)
chlorine (Cl)
copper (Cu)
iron (Fe)
manganese (Mn)
molybdenum (Mo)
nickel (Ni) and
zinc (Zn).

I learned this from good old Jeff L's books. In his though, he continues to state that newly found research/discoveries say chlorine could be a part of the list, with a few others too, making it to over 20 or something, from what I can rememeber reading anyway

I think we are only just at the start line for understanding plants. It's about time too as they should include this knowledge in schools all around the globe, we would have communities of well rounded people helping to preserve the earth and all the wonders it contains, including us and our beloved plant.

I like this thread though @GMO the 17 elements is a good way of understanding the ground work for plant growth.

Maybe I'm just barmy as a bannana
