What are nutrients?
CANNA BOOST Research - In order to understand how CANNA BOOST works, we first have to understand what nutrients are. Most people know that plants need nutrients to grow, even if they may not know exactly what plant nutrients really are, or what they consist of.
Plants take up nutrients from the medium they are growing in through their roots system. The growing medium may be of natural origin, such as peat or coco, or it may be artificial, such as rock wool or clay pebbles.
Some plant species, like many orchids and other epiphytes (plants that grow non-parasitically on other plants) take up nutrients through their leaves. They use their roots system mainly for holding onto the branches or other structures on which they are growing.
Macro elements and trace elements
Nutrients can be divided into macro elements and micro (trace) elements. Macro elements include:
- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorous (P)
- Potassium (K)
- Calcium (Ca)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Sulphur (S)
These elements are taken up by plants in relatively large quantities. The first three are known as primary nutrients: N, P, and K. The next three are secondary elements: Ca, Mg, and S. Minor or trace elements are needed in smaller quantities and they include:
- Chlorine (Cl)
- Iron (Fe)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Copper (Cu)
- Molybdenum (Mo)
- Boron (B)
- Manganese (Mn)
Although they are only needed in tiny amounts, this last group of nutrients is still vital for a plant’s metabolism and health. Carbon (C), Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H) are not listed here, but they are nutrients as well. These are obtained from the plant’s environment.
CANNABOOST Research
Even if all the necessary nutrients are available in the optimum quantities, the actual uptake depends on the plant’s health and metabolic rate. This is an important distinction. This is where a metabolism-booster can play a key role. Used together with a balanced fertilization regime, a booster can help to optimize a plant’s performance and allow it grow to its full potential.
Over the last decade, a number of booster-style products have appeared that claim to do just that: speed up the plant’s metabolism and improve its nutrient uptake. But the actual content of these products vary widely, and not every booster is of the same quality. Many don’t even speed up the plants metabolism process but are just phosphorous-type fertilizers that have been named a ‘booster’.
