Interesting, that must be why my setup is so successful. Growing in 10 gallon fabric pots with 50/50 peat/soil mix, but I water from my bioactive turtle tank. The waste and bacteria are a incredible source for beneficial bacteria and nutrients including phosphorus.

Thanks for sharing Bruce. Appreciate it!

Thanks doc! This explains some of the dying leaves on the bottom of my plant. I've heard of the leaves under the light dying off slowly but now it makes sense why. I need to add more 2-8-4 bloom to my soil. Running a cultivar for the first time and learning it's a longer flowering sativa

Leaves die off from lack of sunlight. I had a node grow several branches after topping. The smaller ones that formed didn't grow and eventually died. For nutrients it's best to use every bioactive element, if it's essential to people then it should be good for plants. Aside from NPK and secondary and micronutrients, the ultra trace ones can boost growth.

Bruce- Sour Cherry Diesel by Atlas Seed Company. 63 day photoperiod would be a great test subject.

That's a great explanation, but can you explain it for those who use soil as well? I was also thinking about how you said the leaves are a storage for bud development, what about losing up on phosphorus in the veg mode and cut back on it in flower that way it can go into senescence easier?

my grow game on another level lately cuz this

Interesting

Well if phosphorus is a problem in some parts of nature can't we or shouldn't we grow cannibals to help remove phosphorus where needed.

Nice, thank you a lot! I'm pretty shure...someday some cultivar will name a strain after Prof. Bruce Bugbee :)

You’ll notice that the older cultivars that have been around for 15-20 years all require a much higher phosphorus and a balanced meal requires much higher phosphorus or you’ll always end up with red stems due to lack of phosphorus

Or your leds are hitting the stalks and is the effect of what some say too much par but maybe just the progression of using leds and their spectrums

15ppm.. interesting. That makes sense though. It explains why switching to RO water and eliminating phosphoric acid with such a huge change..

I have heard using phosphorus outdoors can leach into groundwater and cause algae blooms. Is there anything you can think of that would prevent it from “falling” through the soil layers?

I grow in hydro and I’m learning EVERYTHING is “weight with a grain of salt”. The ec is low and depending on strain you can feed at 1.6-1.8 (my current feed ec in 5gal buckets)

No, you just take a sample of the water you want to test (after adding and mixing your nutrient), place the meter in it to get a reading! Measuring runoff is important as well.

​@@chronic411just follow directions on fertilizer. Use a clear bottle like a juice container or pop bottle. The dyes added to fertilizer will be a good indicator, also its hard to over fertilize with high phosphorus, high nitrogen will really cook a plant but you can see that coming. Leaves so dark green they die.

Wow I'm way overfeeding my plants..

Hi Thanks for this lecture. What do you mean by a low THC cultivar?

Could over use of Phosphorus in flower lead to more herm's?

I really don't understand the calculations.. Bruce mentions they feed cannabis at 2.5EC throughout it's entire cycle. That's about 1250ppm.i believe.. if we only need 30ppm of Phosphorus what the heck is the other 1220ppm?

​@@jukeboxgaming1343you are incorrect. The measurements of a liquid or powder wouldn't mean anything if you don't use the same since they won't have the same concentration. However when you mix your element P (potassium) in a form of liquid or powder into your water whatever its concentration you just have to measure your mix and be at 30ppm, simple as that and don't forget your PH after aim for 5.8 in hydro have fun

@highlandlab1924

Ай бұрын

​@@jukeboxgaming1343it's more of a guide. Not a rule. I'm sure you can drown a plant with nutrients and it will be fine. Like different strains can handle different levels of fertilizer. Pale green plants that just got moved outside in direct sunlight can handle way more nitrogen than a plant in the shade or inside on a window with a few hours of direct light a day. Think of sunlight bleaching the leaves, and at night the nitrogen replenish it.

What I don't get is why increase the P if it doesn't affect yield or quality and is not strictly required? Why not just use less P and save the planet. Also Nirit Bernstein is awesome 👍

Change the light and temp at the end of flower to what??

As a homegrower with a LED-Tent, i can´t imagine messuring 90/1.000.000 would i have to fill a bathtub, and then put one drop phosphor in it?

Why does Athena use 60 to 150 ppm of phosporus then?

why does athena contain more than 100ppm then?

hatte vom tital hwr angenommen, dass du uns 6 sorten nennst😆

yes and athena recommends an ec of 2.5 lol thats 1250 ppm daily plus a chelate with their cleanse hmmmm, i feed at 500 ppm and change npk ratios every 2 weeks as the plant changes. no need for cleanse if you know what you are doing.

Athena Cleanse increases the Oxidation-Reduction Potential of water. ORP indicated the water's ability to clean itself, without the need for toxic substances like common sanitation products. Cleanse is a stabilized solution of Hypochlorous acid, a mild acid derived from sodium chloride and a proprietary electrochemical treatment process. The result is a unique, plant-safe chemical with powerful oxidative properties to keep your root zone clean and free of unwanted organisms, mineral scale and biofilm buildup. These special properties are key to improving both mineral and oxygen availability in the growing media.

Would have been perfect without the music.

Phosphorus does not end up in our waterways causing utriforcation and alge blooms. Its nitrogen, that you can not mistake if you understand the nitrogen and Phosphorus cycles by bacteria. Big laugh😅

🤦‍♂️🙄 how did they measure the potency of the oldest cannabis ever found? By its calcium phosphate levels, which are required for trichome production…. Why is he not mentioning that🤔

Thanks for the video, Bruce. It's nice to finally have some kind of number to shoot for. But I have a few questions. And I hope you or somebody that works with you can give us a little more insight on this 30 ppm. I mean most of us know that when we introduce our cannabis plants to 12/12 lighting ( Flowering). We should give a boost of P. I use powdered nutes and I mix all my nutes myself. I don't use any premixed bottled nutes. And what I have always did was the first 4 weeks of 12/12 . I would just add a extra 1/8 of a teaspoon to my solution. I can't remember off the top of my head,what that brought the ppms to. But what I always thought was this helped increase bud sights. Anyway my first question is. What ppms of P should we be running in veg. And next is when should we increase the amount of P. And should we increase it all at once to 30 ppms. Also from what I understand is that P gets locked out very easily. So if we are increasing the amount of P. Should we be adding or increasing something else. So the P doesn't get locked out. For example, when I give my little boost of P. I give a little kick of aminos to go along with it. Now my next questions are going to come from this example. Like I said I only gave a boost of P for the first 4 weeks of 12/12. Then I would cut that out. Then I would give a little boost of K from week 5 till harvest. So now should I still run the 30 ppms of P all the way to harvest ? Because you said that the flower will have 1 percent of P in it. And that just seems like a lot. And what kind of effect is that 1 percent going to have on the quality of the flower ? Or is that the norm ? I have a few more questions. But I'm going to stop here. I'm sorry that I went on and on. I just find this very interesting. I just want to thank you and your crew for all the hard work that you all do. And to thank you very much for passing all your knowledge on to us. Speaking for myself. I truly don't think you understand how much you have helped me to become a better grower of cannabis. Well for that matter, a better grower of everything. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Again thanks. And take care. ASS OG AeroSystemsSea OfGreen.

Cannabis leaves survey range for phosphorus is 2.4-4.9 mg/g. During vegetative phase, plans accumulate P in their root to prevent P toxicity in the leaves. This means 9.6 mg/L phosphorus is adequate for optimal growth in this phase when water use efficiency is 4.0 g/L. During reproductive phase, plants can accumulate 10 mg/g or more of phosphorus in the buds. So it is advise to double or even triple that 9.6 mg/L to support phosphorus demand by plant in this phase. I currently feed 11.6 during vegetative and 29.0 during reproductive phase till a week before harvest. Cannabis yield is unaffected by potassium in the range of 75-175 mg/L but canabinoids decreases as potassium increases. I currently apply 95 mg/L potassium in the entry grow; no boost in any elements except for phosphorus. These numbers are about optimal yield not quality. Quality decreases as N, P and K increase; the dilution effect by more growth and yield.

Athena must be getting hard up to be paying DR Bugbee to redo old videos with an athena logo lol, botom line Athena dose not have near enough phosphorus , leading to poor roots, and underdevoloped flowers , used it several times in severay systems with same result , it also has way to much K and N and not enough calmag , regardless of what athena says it is one of the most expencive at twice the price per gallon as flora flex , cyco , H&G etc.

This is a prime example of book smart vs street smart. Dude can make PowerPoints, but could not grow anything worth smoking to save his old ass. 😂

Then why Athena do you recommend ridiculous amounts of elemental Phosphorus and Potassium in your feed charts, if this what your study show? Your blended feed chart will 150% burn a first time growers crop I know

If you’ve kept up with Bruce and Athena even a little bit you’d know they have announced multiple times they have Bruce In house to refine their product line based on their new discoveries and research. Just because they find copper useful today doesn’t mean they are going to source, order, print, label, bottle, market, then enter it into their line up by tomorrow. It’s a process like any business trying to improve. Please use some common sense.
