RE: Science For Growers: Understanding C:N Ratio And Its Role
Theory of soil is crucial if you want to understand what, how and why it's happening in soil. And once you harness this knowledge you open the door to better growing and not only weed or other specialty crops, but veggies and fruit as well.
I started this series, cause I felt, that cannabis growers didn't know enough about soil biochemistry, botany and microbiology, which frequently gave way to myths, inaccuracies and wrong gardening practise in general... but any gardener should find it useful.
id like to see all the information in a simple and clear table, then i think it would sink in better for me! atm im just using compost tea and composting the left over chunks from the tea. I also grow alfalfa as a green manure to put nitrogen in the soil.the soil look very fertile atm and my new seedlings have popped up pretty quickly. Think i must be doing ok so far!
You're doing well then :)
Unfortunately all this soil science is not as straightforward as we'd like it to be. Soil is a dynamic system with many variables, but there a few rules that both plants and microorganisms have to obey.... I could draw a list like that, but it's gonna involve a lot of reading anyway :)
