wait till you look at the differences between ppm in solution and ummol/L concentration of the ions

In the end cannabis will grow well with a various mixes. Genetics will perform better with certain nutrient ratios, but in the end they all will perform well enough with a multitude of NPK ratios. The only hard and fast rule imo is to not over do ammonical nitrogen

Could not find any active constituents in the labeling. Why you will find it sold as a plant conditioner, Australia has very strict labeling laws in regards to pesticides/fungicides. Go ask any of the sellers of these plant conditioners sold to kill insects coming from the USA, ask if they...

Calcium chloride is used as it's one of the soluble forms of calcium without nitrogen that can be used in hydroponics. I personally feel like causing ' fade' from that much chloride is most likely from antagonism in the root zone causing extreme lockouts.

You are not going to be girdling your cannabis plants, That is an issue with trees, same with J rooting that rears it's ugly head multiple years after being transplanted into the environment from nursery stock. You will get a finer root mass (more feeder roots) with air pruning pots can be a...

The germ-killing properties of bleach are derived from the presence of hypochlorous acid. However, because of its high pH, the majority of the hypochlorous acid present in bleach ends up getting converted to hypochlorite, which is a less effective disinfectant...

https://scienceinhydroponics.com/2010/09/preserving-fertilizers-and-additives-how-to-prevent-things-from-going-bad.html Afaik it's mostly an issue with chelated micronutes as the chelator is carbon based.

First, we have basic potassium silicates, which are solids or solutions derived from the reactions of silica with potassium hydroxide. In this category you have popular products like AgSil 16H and liquid concentrates like Growtek Pro-Silicate. These products have a very basic pH. Second, we...

https://scienceinhydroponics.com/2023/02/common-questions-about-silicon-in-nutrient-solutions.html "In the end, at the pH where plants are fed, acid stabilized Si and potassium silicate sources generate the exact same monosilicic acid. Plant availability is not an advantage of using this sort...

So we can agree the important aspect is meeting the plants nutritional requirements while not overdoing it whichever method you take on?

Right I assumed needed micros were included because why wouldnt they be. THe other non essential elements are helpful but at what amounts? at which point would they become detrimental to Cannabis that is a accumulator of heavy metals? My water has chlorine for example, there is also mono silicic...

I'm not sure how enviormental factors have anything to do with synthetic vs organic so i'm confused as well. " Plants uptake more than NPK from the inputs that we feed them." Would love to know what these are.

Are you assuming these vineyards whether organic or synthetic aren't testing there soils and adding fertillizers according to what there soil holds and needs rather that broadcasting a general all purpose fertillizer ala shotgun approach? I'm just confused as to what you think the plants are...

Nop

Feeding citrates, fulvates, ethanoates(acetates) aminos can be done alongside a synthetic based feed.

Terroir, is more referring to the mineral composition of the soil and general environment the plants are grown in no? You can affect the mineral content of soils organically or synthetically? so not sure what that has to do with it?

Heavy metal contamination in organic products is a real thing, not nearly as much an issue with most fruit and veg. But cannabis is a heavy accumulator of lots of those heavy minerals. As mentioned before, plants don't distinguish between the different sources of nutrients.

Should look into generative vs vegetative growth conditions. Including measured drybacks in the medium. Interesting stuff.

They are both alkaline extractions of different species. hence the High K levels and high ph levels as that extraction process the end product needs to be mixed with potassium hydroxide to stay stable. OCP is just arcadian seaweed concentrate repackaged and not screened as finely. Good stuff...

Do you have a source for that graph i struggle to find one. Yes biologically same species but one is grown for its fibre one for its flower so obvious differences I would assume
