Essential & Non-Essential Nutrients For Plants! (Garden Talk #78)

In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Mark Boutwell from Perfect Gardens. He has been on the podcast once before (episode 28) and a countless number of you have requested that he come back for a part 2. This time around he picks up right where he left off - talking about some of the essential nutrients for plants. He also gets into some non-essential nutrients for plants. What type of plants do you like to grow? House plants, melons, fruit trees, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, kale, let us know in the comments section below.

Now we talking!!!!!

[@PerfectGardensTV]

Thank you bro for let me come back for a part 2:)

[@supadavebeats969]

2 of the 🐐’s in the game appreciate all y’all hard work keep grindin!!!

[@arkinner]

Why wouldn't KZbin allow you to show the pictures of the deficiencies?

[@B01]

@@arkinner Because they can be demonetized and lose out on $$ for putting this all together for us. With the user name dank I'm pretty shocked this would be the first you're hearing about that happening to various cannabis YT content creators🤣 But in all seriousness, the YT algorithm needs to smoke a blunt and chill fr fr

[@hesh7186]

Part 3!! I was so sad when this podcast was over. Mark's knowledge is encyclopedic and i will be watching this again. Chris, you really get the best guests to spill their knowledge. Your very humble with what you know and ask the right questions. No doubt that following you and Mark has really stepped up my game. Thanks as always

[@fredc8618]

I agree 1000 percent

[@Triangle0ffence3x]

Yup I agree as well, marks knowledge is far above most others and very very useful

[@Yikum24]

All of the parts! For the plants, yo!

[@glovozagreb6594]

Chris where is part 3? part 4? Also there was lady on his POTcast that talked about 1gram of soil having enough N to supply 10hA but it isnt available.... maybe we can get her with him... THIS IS INSANE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE raned with Bruce Bugbee and Harley Smith

[@Shepp6769]

Part 3? Yes Would be very interested in a presentation focused on PH. Too low, too high and what that can do/look like at different stages of growth

[@69dtspaz]

Im gonna ride with this on too! This should and could help alot of growers! Great idea

[@Topsrite]

Yes I am too. I have been raising the ph a bit during flowering, but I still need to learn more about doing that and more in depth management related to deficiencies that maybe rectified thru ph raising and lowering. Another good interview with the ones that know more than we know, thanks 😊

[@bill200262]

With these presentations that's all I need because following many can be confusing I think he is one of the best

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

I've learned a lot from mark. The number 1 thing I cant stress enough is be aware of insects. When I 1st started growing I overlooked insects. I mistaked insects for deficiencies. New growers, learn what spider mites, thrips and aphids are and how to identify and treat them. If you think you have a nitrogen deficiency or potassium deficiency check for spider mites etc.. they are super small black specs on the bottom of your leaf and you'll have tiny white spots on the top of leaf.

[@discodno]

I totally agree. I had the same problems. Had to learn the hard way

[@hesh7186]

Agreed. Good ipm changed everything for me

[@fabiobouma647]

Yeah i have those little fuckers tnx for the tip.

[@jackovonfuckery6712]

100%. I went my first three grows with absolutely no issues whatsoever. My last grow got completely fucked by spider mights and thrips. Now I only bring brand new pots or anything into my grow room. And I check regularly for pests So far, so good.

[@mactagg8814]

PART 3, 4, and 5 !!!🤙

[@CriticoolHit]

the fact the trichome is essentially a light-trap for refracting light down to the leaf is absolutely the coolest thing I have learned in a minute. And I learned at least 10 other cool things in this presentation.

[@PerfectGardensTV]

I agree bliws my mind

[@OrganicGreens]

I feel like the trichomes are there more because they are sticky and attract pollen tho. Just my 2 cents

[@cvgodd1432]

I thought it was like a sun screen to protect the flower from burning.

[@ratdog5978]

I love you’re channel man it gets me through my day

[@scarsdog777]

Excellent episode long time coming! Definitely a part 3 Have come a long way in the last year learning soil science and plant health 😎

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Awesome episode, again! I'll have to listen to it several times to absorb the info, and I'm glad I'll be able to look it up again later. I've listened to the first one with Mark a few times already. Thanks for doing these videos, you are indeed bringing free help to people who need it and you deserve to know it since it's your mission.

maybe it could have been better if it takes several viewing to absorb info. This dude was talking to a wall for an hour.

This guy is an excellent teacher cus I'm absorbing most of what he's saying and will remember it. Sometimes peoples tone or energy make u unable to import coherent knowledge

[@cvgodd1432]

Yea a lot of the older breeders just have this way of speaking that confuses you so much. They never answer direct questions, it’s always a “yea but..”. I saw one video of someone asking a grow master what kind of nutrients do you suggest. He said “I have no idea..” like come on bro. Just give him the basics at least!

[@Vorator88]

Part 3 would be amazing! Chris I discovered your channel thanks to your talk with Dr. Bugbee, I was surprised when he suggested you becoming a student with him, in academia that's a wish come true for a home grower. From that moment onwards your channel is a must follow for me. Thanks for all this knowledge and also thanks to Mark for another bomb of wisdom. You guys are the best!

Hats of to both of you on this episode Chris, so many gems in knowing what reacts with what. Still so much to learn but from having the fundamentals dialled in the only way is up. One of the best episodes I’ve watched, and all for zero cost👏 much appreciated for all your hard work. One question I would like to ask is to feed silicon the whole way through the plants cycle or stop when in flower? Always here mixed reviews on this topic

THE PRESENTATION THO!!!! more heady stuff for the brain stash💪🏾💪🏾🤔💭

[@ATripp-dm9rg]

Boron: I was taught by a senior breeder that boron deficiency is far more common in plants developing seeds. I have come across it several times, but only in heavily seeded plants. It generally appears right after the seeds swell before they darken and the giveaway is the necrotic bract tips appearing at the most developed seeds. Easily and cheaply addressed with a single application of just a tiny pinch of borax in a gallon of water.

Fascinating stuff! Definitely will need to rewatch a couple times, and I will! This is better than any good lesson at school haha

[@metasamsara]

OMG this cobalt stuff before you said it sounds like a conspiracy i had come up with my own conspiracy about it lmao. What if cobalt also works as anti aging for humans? Might explain why it's not used in mainstream anti aging products afaik, and why there isn't much on earth. Could ancient powers have used it like a magical secret for nobility, depleted our soils from it, entering the dark ages where crops kept failing creating plagues, because nitrogen wasn't regenerated in the soil anymore in enough quantities. Wouldn't be the first time some parts of humans ruining history is kept a secret and probably in the archives on the Vatican.. lol... iirc nitrogen doesn't have a good enough source that's self sustainable other than plants interacting with the air. Maybe this is why they have a biotic synthesis. I learned recently that even nitrogen fixing plants such as clovers must be used in between grows, not during the same harvest, as it is their dying and breaking down in the soil that introduces nitrogen in the soil. A never ending humus layer of life returning to the Earth, keeping life possible in harmony. Until we started depleting the soil of cobalt and pouring concrete everywhere >:(

[@metasamsara]

part 3 about soil composition ratios, density, textures and enzyme structures along with ionic charge transfer between nutrients and the lifecycle of every nutrient and enzymatic processes. I am convinced indoor if we could control vpd and temp with custom curves to simulate different day and night durations, we could impact the yield to stress the plant to its full potential. I'd love more info on all this at the molecular structural level please this is all amazing info thank you!!

[@metasamsara]

PS: I have some skills in baking professionally, and to me this vpd + enzymatic processes reminds me a lot of making the perfect dough for the perfect use and baking of it. I think by drawing comparisons with food we could learn a lot about human nutrition as well. It manifests differently through reality, but who's to say a plant doesn't think or decide consciously? How we define awareness is specific to mammals really.

I grow outdoors in Up State NY. Most nights have been in the low 50s and sometimes down to 47. I have noticed that all my plants, the leaves never get Purkey. They never stand straight up reaching for the sun. And about a hour before dark they start to droop even more. I think my problem may be that I have to small of fabrick grow pots and they are root bound. Last year I had a problem with Powdery mildew and the plants were in the ground. late october is a bad time to be flowering if not in a green house or some kind of protection. This year I will be able to move them all into a green house if need to. The plants are 5 feet tall and in 3 or 5 gallon pots. I may cut the pot open and transplant it to chgeck root system out. Plants will go into flower any day now. Leaves not perkey?

I started off a mix of indoors, trying to go into outdoors, then realized, or thought it would be too cold Because my stepdad kept freaking out about supposedly the sun being a dying sun and the outdoors this time not providing enough for them to stay alive we ended up bringing them into the garage and they’ve been doing decent for the most part but at first, the leaves were definitely perk up but as it got colder into the 50s and even the 40s at night like

In large scale crop's we accomplish replenishing lost soil nutrients with crop cycles. In the case of nitrogen I would grow grain exactly after previous crop was harvested. Then once the grain is harvested I'd till the land and start a new cash crop
