Plants are autotrophic, meaning they harness light energy to produce their own resources to live and thrive, and proper lighting is especially critical in cannabis cultivation. Many important factors contribute to plants’ photosynthetic system, including nutrients.
Manganese (Mn) plays a vital role in helping to activate photosynthesis, and thus any deficiencies in Mn will result in lessened photosynthetic operations. Without the right balance of nutrients, plants cannot adequately use that light for growth. Though Mn is a micronutrient and needed in smaller quantities than macronutrients, it plays a vital role in the plant’s development.
