I think there should be a study on temporary increased P dosing the first 2-4 weeks of flower because the real question is does it give you more bud sites and is that beneficial, in my understanding.Also maybe seedling/ clone and transplant stages as we all know it'd about the phase of the plant. Because maybe giving the P the whole time isn't beneficial but just at certain times? Either way thanks for the info guys!
That's why you buy fertilizer from qualified producers of fertilizer. Not from guys that sell you phosphorus deficient hippy woowoo crap and blame the customers microbe karma or whatever for the blue leaves.
PK Boosters? (NSYNC's bye Bye BYE playing in the background) On the table today... (P)hosphorous > 15 ppm = no benefit. Wait what? FYI, my data show the BASE nutrient industry phosphorous average currently 50 ppm. There's always a variability buffer in most popular consumer products so that seems to be about right... just a little high maybe? I get a shiver of delight hearing, "luxury consumption"! hehe While (P) over 15 ppm doesn't correlate to increased bud weight, terpene or cannabanoid production, it greatly increased (P) leaf tissue density, a plant storage mechanism. Back to the PK Boosters... so all that (P) just filling up the waste stream... UGH. We need a similar study on potassium to round this out. Let's not forget the defoliation topic, another level of how this all may tie together... if the leaves continue to prove this high level of nutrient storage with little proven benefit, stripping them for better light penetration and more uniform bud maturation seems the better practice... variable 1 of X, X being LOTS! hehe 🙏
Ignore anyone who talks fertilizer in terms of ppm. Balance is much more important. 15ppm means nothing. Nutrition is relative to light intensity/spectrum, and.. other nutrients..? If you add inputs that aren't metabolized, congrats you've missed the point of growth. It's like adding sulfur without sulfur oxidizing bacteria and saying sulfur has no benefit. You have to support additional metabolism when you add inputs... Every single indoor cannabis grower is severely phosphorus deficient and these podcasts are making it worse, driving imbalance with their ignorance, and scaring people with fears of over fertilization. I don't know a single grower who's over feeding. Just feeding imbalanced. Plants don't hate photosynthesis, contrary to what weed podcasts say.
@@howiegruwitz3173 Nobody said ratio isn't important, it's part of all commercial nutrient formulations and makes up a large part of my work. Campbell has done interesting work on optimal N to K and N to Sulphur ratios. Some mighty claims you are making, show what you got or keep spinning those wheels! hehe
Straight from the source, GREAT episode Tad! 🙏
Super information many thanks. Thoughtful questions Tad, nice work!
Awesomeness 👍

So no iron with phosphorus
