Starting in the spring of 2019, a team of researchers at North Carolina State University, led by Dr. Brian Whipker, Ph.D., began writing the “Nutrient Matters” series of features for Cannabis Business Times. The articles capitalized on emerging cannabis research being conducted by Whipker and his team: a combination of well-established plant science and a growing body of work examining the biological structure of the cannabis plant.

Nitrogen, Magnesium, Silicon, Boron: the elemental approach to plant nutrition is placed alongside deeply researched reports on electrical conductivity, pH management and alkalinity control. In our recently published ebook, the NSCU team’s “Nutrient Matters” collection is gathered in one place to help address all your nutrient questions. With the information compiled in this series, you will be able to use university-backed research to better develop ideal nutrition plans and monitoring programs, and control your nutrients and feedings to ensure a consistent, healthy and prosperous crop.
