The importance of carbon nutrition is often overlooked and forgotten in the cannabis industry, despite the prominent role it plays in determining final yield and quality. The primary target of this presentation is growers who are seeking to improve their results, and individuals who want to learn the mechanics of how carbon-based fertility programs work.
Terpenes and cannabinoids are roughly 80-90% carbon by weight, so if you are a grower who wants more THC, you need more carbon. This presentation will explore the mechanics of a carbon-based approach to improving cannabis plant productivity by focusing on how the elements which are collectively considered “macro and micronutrients” revolve around carbon metabolism in plants.
