Growing Cannabis: The Essentials of Macro & Micro Nutrients!
Growing Cannabis: The Essentials of Macro & Micro Nutrients!
Are you suffering from macronutrient deficiencies?
You can almost hear the American guy’s accent for the infomercial.
Are you suffering from macronutrient deficiencies?
If you’re not getting enough nitrogen, phosphorous or potassium, or NPK as it is known, you may not be feeling at your best.
If you’re lacking in carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, chances are you are really unwell.
What you need are ionic nutrients!
We won’t bore you to death with w two-hour-long chemistry lesson, so let’s break this down into something brief.
Cannabis plant roots don’t absorb nutrients directly – those nutrients have to be broken down, and in a broken-down form those nutrients are either in the form of cations – with a negative charge, or anions, with a positive charge.
These charges help the plant absorb the chemical elements, such as the nitrogen in ammonia, or the two anions in phosphorous.
Beyond that, plants need carbon to grow, which they absorb through their leaves from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Maybe now you’ll understand why trees and other plants are so important in the fight against global warming, as it is the increased levels of CO2 that are killing the planet.
In truth, if we all became potheads and grew our own hash, there probably wouldn’t be any global warming, but that argument isn’t going to currently hold water with a policeman or judge!
Where hydrogen is concerned, plants convert water – which is H2O, into hydrogen through a process called photosynthesis. The hydrogen is easily absorbed by the plant as it has a single ion which helps drive the transport chain during photosynthesis.
Plants get their oxygen from the breakdown of CO2 molecules through the stomata in their leaves, or absorption of water through the roots.
Then there are all those micronutrients obtained from the soil.
Phosphorous is absorbed as an anion and can be found in every single living cell on the planet. It helps with energy transfer, such as transforming starches to sugars, while also protecting the plant from disease.
Potassium is great for water conservation and activate enzymes in protein synthesis.
Then of course there’s also the micronutrients, which are needed in much smaller doses, but which are essential all the same for good healthy plant growth.
There’s zinc, Sulphur, molybdenum, manganese, magnesium, iron, copper, calcium and boron to consider, and each and every one required in varying amounts depending on the growth stage of you cannabis plant or plants.
If you have anything to add on the subject we’d love to hear from you, let us know in the comment section below.

Can weed do anything for your bone
Global warming is a myth
I want to know how much far can you smell a cannabis plant please ,because i grow in a hidden place near the police station .
Do you need to add micronutrients to your cannabis plants the same way u add the nutrients or do they already have those micro nutrients in the soil?
OK, we get it, you’re British. Why the shot at Americans? You don’t really need to know this to grow. Buy the nutrients, read the directions.
Cheers from Oklahoma, where my personal grow is legal.
I’m sry u kinda get it except co2 does not “kill” the planet. It’s actually the opposite, thus why large growers use co2 burners to add co2 , it increases your growth
I can’t believe this video got 26 likes. This was the shitest video 👎🏻 Why the garbage talk about infomercials, and global warming, and the useless analogy about human diets?
*unsubscribing* 🖕🏻 Losers
Can Canna’s Mono Trace help?
You guys do a great job describing the process of cannabis growth as it is now legally referred too. Thank you so much. In a cartoon version none the less. So in the words of Forest Gump. " Momma always had a way of explaining things so I can understand THEM"
Wake and bake. Good Green Morning.
You could have mentioned the importance of ph balance in regards to these macro nutrients. I like the way you explained it though.
Thank you for sharing
This tells me nothing
Was that a american accent because you sound the same my guy lol.
Global Warming LOL what a scam
