Everything you need to know about Cannabis nutrition

Everything you need to know about Cannabis nutrition

The standards by which cultivators of Cannabis sativa (hemp, marijuana, indica, and so on) fertigate or provide nutrients are often erroneous – albeit improving – as optimal production is a crucial metric across scales. Furthermore, plant growth and performance are often hampered as one or more components of the consortia of realms that encompass plant nutrition are overlooked or incompletely understood.

The central quantifiable tendencies for nutrition in plant biology are linked here to ecological research and experience cultivating cannabis as a bulwark from which to optimize growth, development, biomass production, and of course, the production of those secondary metabolites – Cannabinoids and terpenes.

Distilling this tutorial into the following time-stamped functions and critical components:

2. Physical Properties (10:20 – 13:10 mins)
3. Biological Interactions (13:10-16:20 mins)
4. Essential nutrients (16:30 – 23:10 mins)
5. Developmental requirements (23:10 – 24:40 mins)

    This was an amazing watch! thank you! cant wait for more!!

    Great information, delivered well. A suggestion if you are doing more of these is to maybe look into some editing/creating some slides – it will only make the information clearer to digest. Although in saying that, I appreciate your seemingly off-the-cuff approach, just something to consider. Thank you for the content.

    You forgot silicon. It is needed for tricome production and overall stem strength.

    So lights on 24/7 in veg is not a recommended practice? I’ve heard some people say 6 hours darkness makes little difference. I do mind my VPD (except at night. no idea what happens in that tent at lights out lol). Thank you!

    Absolutely wonderful, my favourite is boron… I sorta dislike how some people shove too much chemicals into their medicine. What we take for granted ( air, oxygen lol) are so important. The food soil web has taught me alot, to the point that I can’t watch the popular you tube channels. The real science always makes sense over stoner science. Applying these methods to any plants does wonders. Thank for being cool man!!

    great chart

    Quick question 🙋‍♂️. I included some bio char into my peat. If for nothing else,drainage. Is this a good idea? If so why? If not why?
    Also added some lava rock.

    Nigel, that’s one of the best explanations of plant physiology/environment dynamics i’ve ever seen or heard. I felt like I was being instructed by my botany 101 professor’s TA, Who’s name was Terrence McKenna. Only we were talking about cannabis, not mushrooms or ayahuasca. Keep up the good work. You have a good future in botanical instruction. Hummus/huemus- I knew what you were referring to.

    Wait, respiration is a night cycle thing only? No wonder my plants always die during the day! Lol

    3 months ago I started taking Weedborn CBD. This is the best option for me. You can help yourself with CBD.

    Free the weed. Free the people. No more prison for pot.

    This is such a great summary, thank you!!

    Hummus is a food. "Hue-miss" is broken down organic matter

    This is better than college
