RE: Science For Growers: Understanding What Nitrogen Does Is A Path To Better Growing
This situation unfortunately leads to a high concentration of nitrates in plant or finished product (cannabis flower), that can be checked via olfactory test (by consuming the flower)
thats very interesting! just curious, what does too much nitrogen "smell like" ie how can one tell there's too much nitrogen in the soil from smell / taste of bud?
Smell usually starts resembling hay or tea and the taste is harsh, bitter or ammonia-like with foul aftertaste. It's not that difficult really if you know what the difference is... it's a little bit like with wine, you put a nose to it, then you take a sip and you know what you're dealing with :)
