All plants need fertilizer, but if you ask the hemp farming community, you’ll get a range of verdicts on whether or not it’s a requirement. It’s not binary – that is to say, you’ll either need it or not. Instead, it depends on the conditions your hemp crops grow in. Let’s explore the fertilizer requirements of the Hemp plant and rule out common misconceptions when growing it.

As regulations on cannabis start to loosen, its popular associate, hemp, is also seeing levied restrictions. However, hemp should’ve never had to endure such restrictions in the first place and was wrongfully punished on account of the THC it contains. 

It doesn’t exhibit as significant psychoactive effects as cannabis sativa when smoked, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. Hemp is used as a raw material for various commercial and industrial products, including rope, clothing, food, bioplastics, and biofuel. As a result, farmers are now jumping on the bandwagon, given the lucrative opportunity it presents. 

However, before you get into growing hemp as a viable business opportunity, here is what to look out for when growing hemp.

For a long time, hemp was regarded as a premier cash crop. However, in 1937 the Marijuana Tax act served to destroy the established hemp industry. This was all due to a misunderstanding as policymakers had not fully realized how this plant doesn’t compare with its close neighbor, Cannabis Sativa. Let us consider the reasons to grow hemp in this day and age and how it may benefit farmers.

You won’t ever find the same soil conditions everywhere. If you opt for hydroponics or aquaponics, you’ll still need to regulate the water environment for healthy crop growth. Hence, some form of fertilization is always a requirement when it comes to dispersing essential nutrients in your medium of choice. Many have debated the use of mineral and organic fertilizers for cannabis cultivation, pointing out which one is better. But it’s not that simple. One must consider other factors as well before making a choice. 

Here, we revisit the classic mineral vs organic fertilizer debate, pointing out the factors you’ll need to consider that’ll help you gain the optimal yield for your cannabis crop.

When it comes to change, our collective population has always maintained an apprehensive stance towards it. When the steam train came out, no one believed that we could travel upwards of 40 miles per hour and that people would start fainting at this speed. When electricity was first introduced in domestic homes in the late 19th and early 20th century, the mass populace feared the risk of electrocution. Even President Benjamin Harrison and his wife were afraid of getting an electric shock when turning switches on and off. History is fraught with resistance to change when it comes to accepting new ideas. These misconceptions generally stem from a lack of knowledge or misguided perceptions about the underlying effects of a change. As a result, they may distort public belief, instilling fear. Perhaps the biggest example of this fear can be seen when we discuss cannabis, a plant with a rich agricultural history, which sadly became notorious as a gateway drug for the youth. However, new knowledge about the plant and its derivative products has shed light on its multitude of benefits, reminding us of why it was a worthy cash crop. 

Here we discuss the future of the cannabis market, given that legislation surrounding it loosens and its increasing popularity in the medical, industrial, and recreation fields. However, before we move on, we need to shed light on why it has had such a tumultuous past.

What do you need to know in order to grow well-fed, proper, and tasty tomatoes? You'll need a sheltered location with full sun exposure or light shade for at least 6 hours per day. In the meantime, get started by adding compost and fertilizer to your soil before planting your seedlings. As they grow, water them regularly and add more fertilizer every month until harvest!

Growing tomatoes is one of the most rewarding gardening tasks you can undertake. Anyone who has ever grown a tomato knows that it's simple, but not every ordinary tomato will do!

It’s a humic acid world, and we just live in it.  This might sound like an overstatement, but humic acids are literally everywhere- even if you don't know what they are yet! They're found in soil, air, and water; they're produced by plants, and they help regulate the planet's ecosystem. Without humic acids (HA), our bodies would be unable to function properly: HA is essential for plant growth and development as well as human health. If you want to grow your own food or produce clean drinking water for future generations, humic acids will make sure that your efforts can pay off. That's why humic acid supplements should be part of any gardener's arsenal against disease-causing organisms.

Humic acids are derived from humus, which is defined as "decomposed plant materials that have been transformed by the action of microorganisms into dark humic substances". They are generally found in soil or peat moss at concentrations between 1% and 3.5%. Since humus takes decades to form naturally, humic acids are collected from humate ore- which is basically humus in concentrated, dried form. If you see humic acid products for sale at your local garden center, chances are that humate ore has been mined to produce it.

Many of us have a dream to grow our own fruits and vegetables. Apple trees are a perfect example of why we should never give up. Despite the long odds, it's possible to grow apples in your garden.

Chemically-based fertilizers on the other hand may contain phosphates or nitrates that can cause groundwater contamination or algae blooms in water bodies. That's why it is important to choose organic fertilizers as they do not pollute the environment. Organic fertilizer offers a wealth of benefits such as improving soil quality and reducing erosion.
