Magnesium in Hydroponics

In this episode of Hydroponics Daily, Dr. Russell Sharp, inventor of Gold Leaf, delves into the integral role that magnesium plays in the photosynthesis process. As the central atom in the chlorophyll molecule, magnesium is crucial for the absorption and transfer of energy. Dr. Sharp explains what happens when there is a deficiency, characterized by interveinal chlorosis, and how it impacts plant health and yield. The episode provides insights into the causes of magnesium deficiency, particularly in hydroponic systems, where excess calcium or potassium can interfere with magnesium uptake. Practical solutions such as using dolomitic lime and Epsom salts are discussed to ensure a balanced nutrient supply. Furthermore, the discussion highlights the importance of calcium and magnesium supplements, like calmag, as essential tools in maintaining crop quality. Join Dr. Sharp as he shares his expertise on preventing nutrient imbalances, ensuring you have the best practices in place for successful plant growth and health.   🇬🇧 https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/ 🇺🇸 https://goldleaffertilizer.com/
