We are starting a whole new
episode series about plant nutrition! Nik from Rooted Leaf (use code growcast) is
back on the show to explore minerals individually- starting with
nitrogen! Nik explains how complex the many roles that
nitrogen plays actually are, while emphasizing that 80% of your
nitrogen goes towards a few primary processes. This leads to a
conversation about the rubisco enzyme, and how nitrogen plays into
photosynthesis and energy production. Nik also explains how
nitrogen deficiency and toxicity work, and how too high levels of
nitrogen can lead to nutrient burn. This leads to a conversation
about how nitrogen moves throughout media and throughout nature-
and how it acts when we water to runoff. Nik extrapolates on the
difference in nitrogen needs between the vegetative stage and the
flowering stage, and how the balance of nitrogen in the bloom cycle
is extremely delicate... Stay tuned for more mineral deep dives
with Nik coming to this feed soon!
