Cannabis Nutrients

Cannabis nutrients are minerals you feed your plants to help them develop healthily.

The seedling, vegetative, and flowering stages each have specific requirements. Our fertilizers and nute packs contain the ideal ratios for every phase.

What are the main cannabis nutrients?

The main nutrients for cannabis are macronutrients. They form the building blocks of plant health. The three primary types are known as NPK:

• Nitrogen (N) is vital for the vegetative stage. It aids in chlorophyll production and converting energy from the sun. Plants use it for cell, branch, foliage, and stem development.
• Phosphorus (P) is among the best nutrients for cannabis plants in the flowering stage. It aids in nutrient uptake by making other nutes available for absorption. Plants use it to develop strong roots and big, healthy buds.
• Potassium (K) is vital for all growth stages. It aids salt and water uptake and helps regulate other internal cannabis functions. Plants use it to produce and store energy and grow healthily.
