Nitrogen Source Matters: High NH4/NO3 Ratio Reduces Cannabinoids, Terpenoids, and Yield in Medical Cannabis

@NectarBeans @GrowerScience NH4 is ammonium, NH4NO3 is ammonium nitrate, which is just a compound of NH4 and NO3 together. Generally speaking, Cannabis doesn’t respond well to ammonium, you want it’s source of Nitrogen to come from NO3. Like @PushnPhosphor

Ammonia is introduced to the plant via NH4 used in nutrient sources during #cannabis cultivation. High nutrient NH4 also has negative effects on plant health. Modified cultivation practices could reduce consumer (and plant) health risks. @uscfcr https:
