Dr. Bruce Bugbee discusses the varying rates of nutrient absorption in hydroponics, emphasizing that nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and manganese are quickly absorbed by plants, while calcium is passively absorbed over time. Dr. Bugbee tells us what is recommended to manage nutrient levels and maintain a balanced solution to ensure optimal plant growth.
