When I started growing, people online always seemed to suggest that nutrients make plants grow faster.
According to an article I've read recently about the top 10 most common growing myths, this isn't true at all.
In fact, they claim you should only feed your plant if a deficiency shows up because, nutrients really aren't that important.
What's important is how healthy your leaves are because of Photosynthesis.
If your leaves are healthy and absorb 100% the light provided, nothing you do is gonna make it grow faster.
This seems logical but, is it true ?
Are we newbies actually misguided into thinking nutrients are this incredible, almost magical thing that's going to make our plants produce frosty, dank ass buds the size of a fist and the length of an arm when all the plant really needs are healthy leaves and good genetics to do just that ?
I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on this.
