I understand the integral role that water quality plays in cannabis cultivation, particularly when employing sophisticated methods like hydroponics. Reverse osmosis (RO) water is increasingly becoming the go-to solution for growers seeking to ensure the highest levels of purity and control in their growing environments. By stripping water of minerals and contaminants, reverse osmosis allows for precise nutrient management, which …
Stomata are tiny holes that cover the underside of the marijuana leaf. These stomata are microscopic and must be magnified by a lens to be seen.
