    🪴Identifying Deficiencies: Sulfur, Iron, and More, with Marybeth Sanchez

    🪴Identifying Deficiencies: Sulfur, Iron, and More, with Marybeth Sanchez

    The one and only Marybeth Sanchez from Team GrowCast is back on the program for an episode all about helping home growers just like you identify deficiencies with confidence! Marybeth teases some upcoming work she will be doing with us here at GrowCast to create a deficiency deep dive series. She goes on to talk about how once you've nailed down which mineral is lacking in the plant- the first step isn't always to just add more minerals. MBS shares the telltale signs of sulfur deficiency, focusing on where the yellowing occurs and how it progresses. She also highlights how this differs from the very rare iron deficiency- and how we can correct these different mineral deficiencies with inputs that are easy to find and safe for the plant. MBS also discusses why humic acids are always so highly recommended when it comes to improving nutrient uptake- especially when your plant is lacking in micronutrients.

    🎸Heavy Metal Contamination, Chelation Science, and Humic Acids, with Nik from Rooted Leaf

    🎸Heavy Metal Contamination, Chelation Science, and Humic Acids, with Nik from Rooted Leaf

    Creator of Rooted Leaf Nutrients (use code GROWCAST) Nik is back on the line for an episode all about heavy metals! On this round of our nutrient/element deep dive, Nik discusses the less desirable elements that exist in soil. Mercury, lead, cadmium, and more- these are the elements you DON'T want your plant to uptake or interact with. First Nike explains how these elements occur in nature, and how various industrial processes also contribute to heavy metal extraction and contamination. He goes on to talk about how these elements short circuit and interfere with the plant's ability to grow and develop properly- making them a major threat to healthy plant production. Nik also talks about how to lock up these elements within soil, and how chelation through the use of compounds like humic acids can lock away these harmful substances rendering them benign.

    💧Irrigation History, Soil Physics, Moisture Release Curves, and More, with Michael Box

    Michael Box from Sustainable Village is BACK and code GROWCAST is live for 10% off Blu Mats for this month only! Michael joins the program again for another banger of an episode all about watering and irrigation. Michael starts off with a brief history of irrigation practices, and how the brilliant ancient practices were eventually evolved into our modern irrigation products. This leads to a conversation about how water operates within a medium physically, and why it's more complicated than just measuring "how much" water is in your soil. Michael also recaps on his work with moisture retention curves AKA moisture release curves- and how water doesn't dry out of all mediums equally! Michael points out the finer points of understanding soil saturation, and how the different properties of your medium affect the physics within.
