While chloride, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate are anions. Remember that cations hang out in the soil,

thus the anions must be repelled (again basic chemistry here). What does this mean? When adding

nutrition realize that the anions that are not immediately absorbed will be repelled out of your soil

solution. If the soil is in a contained area then they will form a cluster of their own away from your clay

and humus. This will call for a flush to get rid of them. This is also why you should be careful what

nutrition you buy. I've literally seen 0-50-0 in a hydro store before. I literally asked the worker if he

was fucking kidding me with that useless nute and he said though he highly suggests against it, many

people buy it because they read that phosphorous makes bigger buds. Though P does help out your

flowers, all 0-50-0 will do is cause huge fucking problems. In a balanced recipe all the nutrition will be

used and you will not experience nute burn. If you are getting nute burn, rethink about what nutes you

are using and find a more balanced recipe.

Hope this helps clear up some confusion. If you would like to read more about the topic of organic

gardening and nutrition, Teaming with Microbes is your book. Literally everything I covered here is

covered in the first two chapters of that book. There is so much more great info in there, and if you can't

afford it, it is available on btjunkie as well as other torrenting sites! Good growing and have a good day!

Edit: Well it looks like you guys enjoyed the info so time to add a little more about nutrition uptake.

Fungi and Bacteria are the two primary "workers" for providing nutrition to your plant. Fungi, though

much smaller than bacteria individually, form long sort of "tunnels" from your plant's rhizosphere to

nutrition found in nearby soil. Fungi are special in that they can break down "harder" materials and

bring nutrition through their tunneling systems. They then either keep the nutrients until they die and

then exude the nutrition into back into the soil in a plant or bacterial edible form.

As said before, fungi break down hard materials, like bones, phosphorous, copper, zinc, etc. As you can

probably now tell, fungi are very important. It is also important to note that the best defense against

harmful fungi is beneficial fungi. Beneficial fungi out compete harmful fungi every time.

What are harmful fungi? Harmful fungi cause diseases on your plant. They do this by getting theirnutrition off of your plant without exchanging anything for the nutrition. This could cause a wide variety

of diseases such as root rot, plant yellowing, and other sad looking signs. That is why when you see a

problem with your plant people immediately think "deficiency." And it is true, however, the reason is

because there is not enough nutrition in your soil for the beneficial fungi to out compete the harmful

fungi. That is why having a balanced, sufficient, amount of nutrition will always result in a good looking

plant. If the nutrition is there, beneficial fungi out compete harmful fungi every time.

What exactly do bacteria do then? Well, bacteria don't move very far during their life times and they

also do not form tunnels. They also don't really break down hard material, so they provide the service of

breaking down the softer materials in soil for your plants. Bacteria also store nutrition that would

otherwise be lost in soil due to leeching, so they got that going for them too. Also, as a part of the

metabolic system of bacteria, they release CO2, this then gets absorbed by the plant via photosynthesis

and process continues. The same info about beneficial and harmful fungi is true about bacteria as well.

The two different types of nitrogen ought to be mentioned to provide some additional understanding of

nutrition. Fungi absorb a cation form of nitrogen (ammonium, NH4) while bacteria turn that ammonium

into an anion version of nitrogen (nitrate, NO3) b/c of a special bacteria called nitrosomonas. MJ plants

prefer NO3 and therefor prefer more bacteria in their soil then tress and shrubs, which prefer NH4. The

preferred ratio of bacteria:fungi in most annuals is actually 1:1. It is super convenient that this is true

because a balance of bacteria and fungi will keep your ph in the exact middle of the spectrum, 6-7,

which turns out is perfect for mj grown in soil! It's almost as if the weed plant evolved this way to adapt

to the fungus and bacteria that existed in the soil before its creation.

What should be noted is that fungi and bacteria don't just magically appear, they form as a result of

your plant's exudates. That is really important to understand in organic gardening. There is always a

balance, and you need to respect that balance. Don't look for quick fixes and miracle solutions in organic

gardening, it just won't happen. Be patient and good things will happen. I hope this helps y'all

understand some more basics about nutrition.
