Nitrogen (N) is often called the “backbone” of plant nutrition, and for good reason. As a primary macronutrient, nitrogen plays an indispensable role in plant health, driving critical processes like growth, development, and reproduction. In this first part of our three-part series on nitrogen, we’ll explore its vital functions, its impact on cannabis plants, and …

Manganese (Mn) is one of the lesser-discussed micronutrients in cannabis cultivation, yet its impact on plant health and performance is profound. Often overshadowed by macronutrients like nitrogen and potassium, manganese is indispensable for several key physiological processes that ensure vigorous growth, disease resistance, and high yields. In this first installment of our manganese series, we’ll …

As one of the core components of the famous N-P-K ratio, phosphorus plays a crucial role in various biological processes that are fundamental to the health and productivity of cannabis plants. In this post, we will explore why phosphorus is so important for cannabis, how it affects plant development, and the key roles it plays throughout the growth cycle.
Sulfur is a naturally occurring element that’s found in soil, air, and water. It’s considered a secondary macronutrient, which means plants need it in smaller amounts than nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—but it’s still vital to their growth and overall health.
In this article, we’re going to learn about a super important nutrient for your plants: calcium. Just like we need strong bones to grow big and strong, plants need calcium to stay healthy and grow tall.
So, what’s the deal with sodium? You’ve probably heard of it in relation to your diet (salt on those fries, anyone?), but plants need it too. Sodium plays a role in several key processes that keep your plants happy and healthy.
Micronutrients work together in beautiful harmony, and today, we’re turning the spotlight on Molybdenum! It might be a lesser-known name, and a debated pronunciation, but its impact is undeniable.
Potassium, a major nutrient for plants, is like the unsung hero of the garden. It doesn’t become part of any plant compounds, but it plays several pivotal roles in growth processes. Acting as a catalyst, Potassium influences various functions that determine the health, quality, and yield of your plants.
Magnesium sits at the heart of chlorophyll, the green pigment crucial for photosynthesis. This central position allows Magnesium to play a key role in converting sunlight into energy, essentially fueling the plant’s life processes. Without sufficient Magnesium, plants struggle to harness the sun’s power effectively, leading to reduced vitality and yield.
Hello fellow cultivators! We’ve been talking about boron a lot this month (you can find the previous articles here) and hopefully you’ve had a chance to get in touch with us and take advantage of the free water and plant tissue tests that Arvum offers to all new customers. If you haven’t you should because …
