This Nutrient Changes Uptake For EVERY Nutrient🪴 17 Essential Nutrients Series

Love the series so far thank you for all this useful information!

Hydrogen is a nutrient. Fertilizer is a commercial normalized commodity usually based on NPK marketing.

Commenting for Don’s dream!

Excellent series! Please keep posting these.

Regarding blueberries (in particular) and nitrates, they will and can uptake them perfectly fine. It's not the root proton pump that's the issue, but the limit of nitrate reductase in the plant itself that keeps the NO3->NH4 reverse reaction inefficient. Beyond my understanding, I don't know why it is this way with these plants, but oddly the byproducts don't seem to travel from the root through the xylem. What happens in vegas, stays in vegas.

This is so interesting. … Like the chemistry involved in all of this. … Can an acidic loving plant, do well in a neutral PH (7) soil?

Not too nerdy. Love it.

Love your videos!

Thank you for these. When you're done make sure to put them together into a playlist. Your geeky videos are my favorite. As an aside, have you read the book "Botany for Gardeners" by Brian Capon? Your videos remind of that book. If you haven't I think you'ld like it.

The 17 Essential Nutrient Series -- an Advent Calendar for Gardeners!

Love this! You reminded me that I should back off watering my holiday cactus so it can initiate flowering. I believe giving it less light too is another way for it to start blooming again. If you have any other tips I would be so grateful 😊

Makes lots of sense... I'm very aware of my plants and seem to do some of this already... Using mulch helps as well its way better than just my Sandy soil 😂I don't like watering morning and night 😂

Freaking love this series. It's like the Ethan Cheboski deep dive videos. Ps have you read Vermiculture Technology (earthworms, organic waste and environmental management) book? Isbn 139781439809884. If you want to nerd out on a collection of worm composting papers.

I just picked up up a A/C infinity T7 Humidifier and a A/C infinity T3 grow tent heater they are running through a A/C infinity 69Pro controller so set the VDP and it runs the humidity and heat and exhaust and circulate fans to the set target VDP the T7 humidifier holds 17 LT of water so in my 10x10 tent it’s good for 2-2.5 days before I have to fill the tank

The wonders of water!

That was excellent, I've never heard a good explanation of water v. pH and nutrient uptake down to the basic details. Keep nerding, ready for the rest.

Not too nurdy.

I'm the foliar nematode guy that contacted you the other day lol. I wanted to update you on stuff I found. They were discovered in 2020 in MA and has since spread throughout new england and I guess its ringing alarms in the area because of the devastation potential. UMass and RI university say that there isnt really any known treatment besides dunking your entire plant in 120f water for 10min. Absolutely horrifying.

20mins+30min areration+10ml of mollasses=10bil microbes +5bil - 10bil mollases particles = mollases 😅

Have you ever checked out Olivier Husson's work on EH vs. pH? Have you heard of facultative anaerobes? Both shed some additional light on the subjects you've covered in your excellent presentation.

Just curious what happens to the microbes in the soil in winter, when they dont usually get water and extra good stuff in winter when the ground is frozen and snow on top. I put good stuff on my yard and garden during spring summer and fall. But what happens in winter when it doesn't get extra nutrients.

Video 2! Probably one of the most obvious but also the most commonly messed up when it comes to application.
