Welcome back to Grow Guides! In Episode 5 of our 50-part series, we're getting into one of the most important parts of growing cannabis: plant nutrition.
What nutrients do cannabis plants actually need? What's the difference between mineral and organic nutrients? And with so many brands, bottles and additives available, how do you know what you should be using?
This week, we break down the world of cannabis nutrients, looking at some of the most popular commercial nutrient brands, including Advanced Nutrients, CANNA and BioBizz. We discuss base nutrients, additives, supplements and the differences between the various feeding systems available to growers.
But we're not stopping at shop-bought nutrients!
We also explore organic growing and the fascinating world of Korean Natural Farming (KNF), looking at traditional methods growers can use to make their own plant feeds and beneficial preparations.

Choosing the right nutrient system for your grow
Whether you're planning to follow a commercial feeding schedule, keep things completely organic, or experiment with making your own nutrients using natural ingredients, we'll help you understand the different options available.
The aim is to give new growers a solid understanding of plant nutrition so they can make an informed decision about how they want to feed their plants, without getting overwhelmed by the hundreds of products and feeding bottles on the market.
You don't need an entire cupboard full of bottles to grow great cannabis! Sometimes understanding what your plants actually need is far more important than how many products you buy.
This is Episode 5 of our Grow Guides series, taking you step-by-step from planning your first grow all the way through to harvest and beyond.
