Copper an Essential Copper is an essential nutrient throughout a plant’s life cycle. Its role in the formation of cell walls, chlorophyll production and other metabolic process’s directly affect photosynthesis and respiration. Luckily its only needed in very low quantities. While the right amount of Copper is nessicary for normal plant growth and development […]
Leaf Septoria or leaf blotch is known to cause damage to many crops and cannabis is no exception. Usually affecting lower leaves this fungus tends to be seen most in early spring and summer and not as much in winter. When dealing with early onset of Septoria you will notice chlorotic specks that become irregularly
Leaves are becoming yellow and developed brown spots. You will see first signs of a manganese deficiency in the stem of each leaf, yellowing between the veins and then moving toward leaf tips. As the deficiency progress’s you will also see stunted growth as well as leaves cracking and shredding apart and falling off. Because
Molybdenum an essential micronutrient Molybdenum is a micronutrient utilized by your plant to synthesize amino acids and is needed in very small quantities. Molybdenum also helps in nitrite/inorganic phosphorus conversion to usable forms to uptake. Toxicities and deficiencies in cannabis are rare with deficiencies being the more common of the two. Deficiencies can be easily
Nitrogen Deficiency Nitrogen One of the Big Three Major nutrients: Nitrogen in its most common forms used by plants, Ammonium, Urea, Nitrate need to be readily available in your media, in order for proper growth at all stages of plant life. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient moving around the plant as needed. Nitrogen has a
Nitrogen Toxicity Signs of Nitrogen Toxicity: Plants that are showing signs of nitrogen toxicity will be affected differently at different stages of life for example young growth and young pants can show the telltale dark green leaves as well as a claw like look. But older plants that are in flower might have enough energy
Identifying Plant Pest For growers one of the worst issues to deal with are insects or other pest that survive off your plant and will more then often kill it or reduce its health/yield. In IPM, Integrated Pest Management, like many facets of growing prevention is normally a simple process but when your preventative controls
Phosphorus, is a mobile nutrient and is considered vital for plant health. Numerous catalytic process involving photosynthesis and energy transfer within the plant require adequate amounts of Phosphorus. Phosphorus needs to be readily available at all stages of life, and in even higher concentration in flower, transplants or rooting. Phosphorus is a major component in
Potassium, (k+) a cation, is a major nutrient contributing to various metabolic process as well as growth and morphology. Potassium’s also finds itself as a critical component in both defense and responses to abiotic and biotic stress or pest. The nature of Potassium’s role in aid of plant stress and growth is centered around its
