Yo Vitamin!
Thnx 4 the nice post and info!!! Clear explenation... Rep+ also
But I have a question for you. Don't mind my english, I am a Dutch speaker...
What about CO2 as a nutrient? Growers always seem to forget this one. In tapwater (at least down here) it is filtered out bcuz deamed harmfull.
I have an aquarium full of plants and in the aquarium CO2 is THE most important nutrient. Of course, the plants need the rest too, but slowly die off with lack of CO2. People without it have to buy new plants as replacements on a regular basis.
Carbon is a basic buildingstone for our babies and plants in general. Over 50% of their substance is made out of it and they get it out of CO2 in order to make fructose (plantsugar), which is ofcourse beneficial for us... Also, it enables you to control the PH in your tank naturally without any additives which have the same effect as acid rain.
CO2 is absorbed by the leaves, everybody knows that. But naturally, water contains a certain level of it... So the roots must absorb louds too...
Can anybody tell me more about this subject? i use water from the same aquarium to water my babies. In my opinion I have better results then my friends who use the same equipment and batch of seeds, due to CO2 addition. Faster and stronger growth, bigger and harder buds.
