One important factor that contributes to the health and
vitality of cannabis plants during the vegetative stage
is the nutrition they receive or, more specifically, the
available nitrogen. Nitrogen is a basic component of
chlorophyll and is associated with the green color of a
plant’s leaves. Nitrogen is the main nutrient responsible
for vigorous growth; hence its higher concentration in
“grow” or “vegetative” base fertilizers. Even though
nitrogen makes up a large portion of our atmosphere,
plants are unable to absorb it in that form. Instead,
plants rely on microbes in the soil to “fix” nitrogen into
a form that roots can absorb. Put another way, the
source of the organic nitrogen, along with the amount
of beneficial microorganisms in the medium, will di-
rectly influence a cannabis plant’s development during
the vegetative stage. This is why cannabis cultivators
looking for the best organic nitrogen fertilizer and other
