What are Solid Cannabis Fertilizers?

Cannabis fertilizers can be divided into either liquid or solid formats. In this section we’re going to have a look at solid fertilizers, which can also be divided into various types. Let’s have a look at some of them:

Different Types of Solid Fertilizers

Within solid fertilizers, there are two different types:

• Complete solid fertilizers: they contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK), as well as micro-nutrients.
• Solid fertilizers used as additives or substrate enrichers: these don’t contain full nutrients, for example bone meal, guano, and worm hummus.

Complete solid fertilizers allow you to grow in flower pots both indoors and outdoors. Substrate enrichers and supplements are perfect for mixing into the ground when growing in fields, gardens or greenhouses.

Are Solid Fertilizers Bio or Mineral?

Solid nutrients don’t necessarily have to be bio or mineral. There are complete organic and mineral fertilizers, the state of the actual fertilizer doesn’t determine the origins.

Benefits of Using Solid Fertilizers

• Easier to use. Some are used during transplants in soil so that you don’t have to fertilize again afterwards, simply water. Others are dissolved in water.
• Ideal for working the ground outdoors. Although it can also be used in flowerpots indoors and outdoors.
• Can be stored for longer.
• Cheaper than liquid products.
