Fertilizer Calculations: A Technical Refresher for Accurate Feeding Programs Accurate fertilizer calculations are a fundamental part of professional greenhouse fertility programs. Even with automated injectors and established feeding strategies, small calculation errors can lead to inconsistent nutrient delivery, increased costs, and avoidable crop stress. A periodic refresher on fertilizer calculations helps ensure nutrients are delivered […]
EC Rates, Root Health & Nutrient Uptake: How Excess EC Impacts Root Function Electrical conductivity (EC) is a key indicator used in greenhouse production to assess soluble salt levels in irrigation water and growing media. While EC is often associated with fertilizer concentration, its influence extends further — directly affecting root function, water uptake, and […]
When planning an effective fertilizer program, one crucial consideration is whether to apply nutrients alternately or simultaneously. Each approach has its benefits and challenges, and choosing the right one can optimize nutrient availability, reduce compatibility issues, and enhance plant health. This guide explores how to adjust your fertilizer program for success using either method.

As the cannabis industry continues to grow, so does the need for stringent compliance with regulatory standards. Meeting these requirements while maintaining high-quality yields is no small feat. Fortunately, Plant-Prod MJ fertilizers are specifically designed to help cannabis growers navigate the challenges of compliance while optimizing plant performance.
Maintaining healthy mother plants is the foundation of a successful cannabis cultivation operation. A well-managed mother plant program ensures vigorous cuttings, consistent plant genetics, and high yields. To achieve this, growers must focus on precision nutrition, proper environmental conditions, and strategic pruning techniques.
Water quality is a critical factor in plant health, and while many growers focus on pH and alkalinity, another major concern is the presence of undesirable elements. Certain dissolved salts and ions in irrigation water can interfere with nutrient uptake, damage root systems, and reduce plant growth. Understanding what’s in your water can help you take proactive measures to maintain a healthy growing environment.
Water quality plays a crucial role in plant health, and one of the key factors to assess is alkalinity. While alkalinity and pH are often confused, they measure different aspects of water chemistry. Understanding alkalinity can help growers optimize nutrient management, prevent pH fluctuations, and ensure plants thrive.
Water quality is often an overlooked factor in plant nutrition. While most growers focus on fertilizers, soil conditions, and light, the electrical conductivity (EC) of water plays a crucial role in determining how well plants can absorb nutrients.
When it comes to efficient delivery of essential micronutrients to plants, chelates are the answer. These advanced compounds ensure nutrients remain stable and available in the growing media, making them readily available to plants, even under challenging conditions. In this post, we’ll explore how chelates work, their benefits, and how Plant-Prod’s chelated products can enhance your fertilizer program.
