Great info!!!Antagonistic nutrients have a negative effect on the uptake of other nutrients. Possibly you have seen that an excess of Phosphorus (P) creates an imbalance with Iron (Fe) and Zinc (Zn)?
Some nutrients do the opposite and their presence has a positive effect on the uptake of other nutrients. These are called Stimulant Nutrients and an example of this is would be when increasing the nitrogen (N) availability to the plant, it will allow the plant to take in more magnesium (Mg) and up the demand for it. To show this we have the Mulder Chart.

And one for minerals as well

This graph shows us as an example that Sulfur stimulates Calcium, Molybdenum and Copper availability to the plants and how Zinc and Molybdenum both stimulate Sulfur.
Liebigs Law of Minimum Yield comes into play when you look at the whole picture and how all 14 of the essential elements for plant maximum yield.

Can someone help me understand what may incur in the mediums if the water one was using had even a slight amount of flourides in it?Slightly easier mineral interaction chartView attachment 651661
It could be considered your spirit animal, or your power, or your zen focus. Your fu! Or your foo.Whats fu?
I was getting my compost tested and it was very excessive in phosphorus and I was having micronutrient problems all the time. I started using greensand for Mn and Fe but it just wasn't enough. I think that this is why the barefoot hippies compost deep rooting plants with their manure compost. I found Lambsquarter growing on my property and I started using in my compost this time around, but I'm still fairly new to the idea.Antagonistic nutrients have a negative effect on the uptake of other nutrients.
