Plant nutrients are divided into macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron, molybdenum, chlorine). Cannabis requires a balanced supply of these nutrients to support photosynthesis, enzymatic activity, and structural development. Nutrient deficiencies or excesses can cause growth problems, making precise nutrient management critical in cultivation.
