Cultured biologix states that nitrogen given without a carbon molecule lowers the brixā¦
Itās the lack of carbon in hydro my badā¦
Again thoughā¦
Is it just a sales pitchā¦ youād think theyād have to have proof or be ousted for being liars lol
They stated they attached a carbon molecule to the nitrogen so when the plant feeds on nitrogen it also gets carbon
yeah i donāt get that n with c stuff. the plant generally gets the carbon from the air as part of the calvin cycle. if youāre co2 deficient than thatād be your lack of carbon but otherwiseā¦
In plant science water = nutrient. Because that is how nutrients are absorbed by plants, so by water uptake (more than 85% nutrients uptake happen in this way). So that means in the water limited situation, your sugar production may be losen, well actually biomass accumulation than sugar production but can expect both decreasing in water limited situation
hmm, so nitrogen with carbon attached could be āorganic nitrogenā, amino acids, proteins, and humic substances. However, that āorganic nitrogenā would need microbes to break it down into, you guessed it, nitrate and/or ammonium in order for the plant to uptake it.
ammonium based nutrients are cheaper to produce. What most growers donāt know is that ammonium can be taken up into the plant and then it will lose a hydrogen and become ammonia, which is toxic. This can build up in the plant slowly over time and minimize its genetic potential. Some companies focus on maximizing cost per gallon versus plant health.
From ventanas description on why they donāt use ammonium salts.
