I dont know who needs to hear this but Co2 and nitrogen are some of the most important nutrients for plants
Nitrates and potassium in the begging, leaning into phosphates at the end. Plants breath CO2 so a steady flow throughout the grow cycles is always good. There are several natural amendments containing needed nutrients to use throughout as well, also beneficial bacteria for symbiosis!!!!!!! I love to talk about plants so I definitely needed to hear it!!!

True! And this reminds me.. One of the misunderstandings when it comes to growing plants of any kind is the delicate ecosystem that exists underground. Do not disturb the soil

I am guilty of disturbing the soil, when I am growing thing out doors I alway till down about 2 feet and add super soil I make myself, with a lot of perlite and worm castings. I try to till about a ten food radius around each plant because the further the feeder roots travel the bigger the plant. They usually don’t go deeper then 2 ft. I place stones to step on so as not to disturb the soil, but I’m anal so I like to track my feeder roots to see how far they travel in a certain amount of time. It helps you dial in the nutrients your using. Sometimes they travel past the ten foot mark, so I till out further and add more of my mixture. Also a very important part growing is the acidity in your soil/ growing media so soil disturbance needs to happen for that reason as well. This is a fun conversation, I did not think I would be having on here!!!
