In the first post of our nitrogen series, we explored the vital role nitrogen plays in cannabis plant health and performance. While nitrogen is essential for robust growth, striking the right balance is critical—too little or too much can negatively impact your plants, reducing yield and quality. In this second installment, we’ll focus on the …

In the previous post, we discussed manganese’s vital role in cannabis plant health and growth. However, maintaining the right balance of manganese is key—too little or too much can lead to significant issues that negatively impact plant development and yield. In this post, we’ll explore the symptoms and causes of manganese deficiencies and excesses, and …
Last week, we discussed Iron (Fe) and its role in plant performance and health. In this post, we’ll dive into the target levels for iron at each growth stage and explore the symptoms, causes, and solutions for iron deficiency and excess in cannabis cultivation. Target Iron Levels for Cannabis Plants The ideal iron levels vary …

Iron (Fe) may not be a primary nutrient like nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium, but it is no less essential for the healthy growth of cannabis plants. This micronutrient plays a critical role in various physiological processes that support vigorous growth, strong structure, and enhanced yield potential. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at …

While phosphorus is a vital macronutrient, like all nutrients, it must be present in the right quantities. Too little or too much phosphorus can lead to significant issues that negatively impact plant health and yield. In this post, we will dive into the problems associated with phosphorus deficiencies and excesses in cannabis cultivation, and how to address these issues effectively.
In our last post, we talked about why sulfur is important for plant health [link]. But just like with any nutrient, too much or too little sulfur can cause problems. Today, we’re going to break down what happens when sulfur levels get out of balance, and some of the most common causes. Let’s dig in!
Calcium is crucial for your plants because it helps build strong cell walls, supports root growth, aids in nutrient transport, and protects against diseases. But just like anything else, balance is key. Based on our years of research, the target ppm ranges for Calcium (Ca) in the Veg and Flower stages are as follows:
Just like Goldilocks, your plants need their sodium levels to be just right. Too little, and they struggle to grow. Too much, and they could face toxicity. Let’s break down the effects of both extremes.
Aluminum is a naturally occurring element that, while not required for plant growth, can affect plant health significantly. The presence of Aluminum in plants can influence various physiological processes and overall plant development.
Let’s explore what Aluminum is, its impact on plants and soils, and how managing its levels can ensure your crop thrives!
