The branches are parts of the cannabis plant, which grow from the main stem, giving the plant extra support for the fan leaves and flowers. The cannabis plant’s branches will grow thicker as the leaves grow and continue to absorb sunlight.
Bud
Smokable flower of the cannabis plant
Buffering Capacity
The ability of a medium or solution to resist change in pH fluctuations.
Burn
Leaf tips that turn dark from excess fertilizer and salt buildup.
Carbohydrate
A combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. “Carbos,” or sugars and starches, are used to feed root zone beneficials.
Carbon Dioxide
Known as CO2, this odorless gas is an integral part of plant growth. Given the proper amount and spectrum of light, if CO2 levels are increased up to 1500 PPMs plant photosynthesis is increased dramatically. (Ambient air is usually in the range of 300-400 PPMs of CO2.)
Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH)
This is a variant of metal halide that uses an extremely hot ceramic tube to ionize various gasses and salts chosen for a specific spectral output. These metal halides feature much more red than a standard metal halide.
Chlorosis
General yellowing of a plant due to a lack of chlorophyll production during photosynthesis. This is typically caused by a pH imbalance, or nitrogen or iron deficiency.
