Nik from Rooted Leaf
(use code GROWCAST) is back on the line to wrap up the soil
nutrient elements in our Nutrient Deep Dive series! Nik catches us
up with a quick recap and then dives into a few of the most
important micronutrients, or the nutrients that are required in
very small quantities. Nik talks about what those nutrient ratios
should look like, and how minerals like Potassium will be needed in
vastly greater quantities than the micronutrients we discuss today.
Silica is first up, as Nik explains how it plays into cell
structure and more. This leads to a conversation about Boron, and
what causes plants to develop hollow stems. Iron and Manganese are
next on the list, and Nik tells us what we need to do to ensure
that these minerals are not only present, but also available in
solution- highlighting the importance of proper PH, and
understanding how nutrients antagonize one another.
