Fresh off the heels of an amazing MJBizCon, the team got back in the studio primed and ready to cultivate cannabis conversation! From the importance of plant oxygenation and the nuances of nutrient management, to dealing with runoff in different media and so much more, it’s always great to get back to Q&A with our community! Here are a few highlights from this week’s episode:
“Our favorite time to see runoff is at our last P1 event…Obviously that last P1 is when we want to see the runoff going on, pushing out some of that old nutrient mix. And then for our P2s, if we are running P2s, say we're in a vegetative strategy, typically don't necessarily want to have runoff unless we need to decrease our EC even farther, in which case it's probably the best strategy actually to get a little bit more runoff on your last P1 and still avoid P2 runoff.”

“Different types of salts require different mixing techniques, different times of mixing before you introduce other ingredients, and different rates that they can actually be mixed at under certain conditions. And if you don't have all of those things lined up, the result is inconsistent nutrient delivery to your plants.”
– Seth
“Every time I've run into a situation where I've had trouble mixing nutrients due to either, you know, my own reluctance to read the instructions carefully and slowly, or whether that happens to be a water quality issue that I'm dealing with or something else, you know, if I call the nutrient company that I am currently using. Oftentimes, they have a wonderful breadth of information available for situations just like mine that they've encountered a bunch of times.”
