This might sound stupid but im a biology major thinking about switching to horticulture.
anyways, I learned in my class that nitrogen is created during lightning storms..

does anyone have an idea of what type of nitrogen it is?
is it even a type?(ex: ammonia, nitrate, urea..)

........................................i think the answer your looking for is Nitrogen dioxide = produced naturally during electrical storms. The term for this process is "atmospheric fixation of nitrogen" ;)

thanks for giving me the correct term.
Is this nitrogen absorbed in a foliar type manor? Or does it fall to the soil and absorbed via bacteria processing it?
if bacteria processes it, is it still nitrogen dioxide?
Sorry if this sounds stupid just trying to figure some things out

Since your teacher brought it up, why not ask them or do a Google search? This isn't the place to learn horticulture.

dammm dude . Use google for your answers ..... not ask a bunch of stoners. do some of your own foot work instead of just asking questions. You will learn more.

Just google it bro, you have the largest library ever made in human history at your finger tips.

Nitrogen is actually fixed in the ground instead of ree as a gas by lightning. It is then useable as a fertilizer. Legumes also fix nitrogen for use by nitrogen consuming plants.

It was a few semesters ago, but yeah I should've searched it. Found everything once I knew what the word for it was.
As far as horticulture, it is defined as "the art or practice of garden cultivation and management".
We cultivate MMJ, which makes it a part of horticulture. Since I'm using the knowledge I learn here to further better my actions with my own MMJ, I feel my question is justified.
Thanks for looking out though
