When you’re growing plants, you know that everything starts with a good foundation, the roots. Whether you’re transplanting clones or new seedlings, establishing new flora or just trying save an older tree that’s struggling. The greatest challenge in growing is establishing new roots. Once you have established roots, everything gets a bit easier.
Carbon One fertilizer is designed around the concept of root development. A plant is only as strong as its roots, so building up a crop’s root system is crucial to maintaining consistent, high-volume yields. Carbon One works as a supplement to the plant’s natural photosynthetic processes by providing the plant with additional energized carbon molecules. A fertilizer base (Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potash, and Sulfur) is supplemented and enriched with energized carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen molecules. The fertilizer base promotes nutrient uptake, but the energized molecules provide a surplus of photosynthesis byproducts, which causes carbon to flow down into the root system.
Carbon flows downward in plants. Photosynthesis uses light energy to break the covalent bond that holds carbon and oxygen together in carbon dioxide. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere as a byproduct (which is great for us humans) but the carbon is retained within the plant structure. This carbon is used to create cell walls, fibers, and expand roots. This downward flow of carbon contrasts the upward flow of soil nutrients into the root system. Your standard fertilizer focuses on this upward nutrient flow. This is incredibly important — a plant will obviously die if it cannot receive nutrients from its roots. However, it is important to recognize that carbon absorption is a completely different process. Carbon One focuses on balancing these two processes. By providing the plant with additional carbon that is identical to the carbon produced during photosynthesis, Carbon One provides you with a safe and reliable way to increase yields and reduce variance in your plants.
Carbon One is designed to maximize the absorption and uptake of nutrients already in the soil through root growth and development. It should be used as a supplement to traditional fertilizers and nutrients. Plant roots are dependent on proximal nutrients and beneficial bacteria. If your soil is nutrient deficient, Carbon One will not alleviate this issue. Additionally, because Carbon One promotes beneficial bacteria to release positive hydrogen ions, this can decrease the pH of your soil or grow medium. Be sure to monitor your pH levels carefully, and use a pH adjuster if necessary.
Roots don’t have sonar. They don’t have echolocation, and they don’t have a magical sixth sense that encourages root structures to grow towards nutrient deposits. Roots are blind. After the plant uses nutrients found within the seed to form the initial roots, the plant is dependent on nearby nutrients in the soil to continue growth. By absorbing water to create suction at the roots and through natural processes like diffusion, nutrients are absorbed by the plant. Photosynthesis also directs energy down to the roots, which expel carbohydrates and sugars as a byproduct. Beneficial bacteria will gather around healthy plant roots and absorb these sugars. As a byproduct of this sugar absorption, bacteria release positively charged hydrogen ions and exudates. The exudates are absorbed by the root system and the hydrogen ions break the chemical bonds of nutrients and trace metals in the soil. This two-factor approach of exudates and positive hydrogen ions forms the backbone of a well-developed root system.
