Enzymes: Amylase In Cannabis Growing
Amylase is a type of enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates, such as starch, into simpler forms that can be more easily absorbed by cannabis plants. In cannabis growing, amylase can play a critical role in improving nutrient availability and plant health.
Here are some of the functions, benefits, and how amylase works in cannabis growing:
Breaking down complex carbohydrates:
Amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates, such as starch, into simpler forms such as glucose and fructose, which can be absorbed by cannabis plants. This can improve nutrient availability and uptake, leading to healthier, more robust plants with increased yields.
Enhancing soil microbial activity:
Amylase can stimulate soil microbial activity, which can improve nutrient cycling and soil health. This can lead to increased plant growth and improved soil fertility.
Reducing plant stress:
Amylase can help to reduce plant stress by improving nutrient availability, enhancing soil structure, and promoting healthy root growth. This can help to prevent plant diseases and improve overall plant health and resilience.
Increasing plant yield and quality:
By breaking down complex carbohydrates, amylase can increase nutrient availability and uptake, leading to increased plant yield and quality.
How amylase works:
Amylase works by breaking down the chemical bonds that hold complex carbohydrates together, breaking them down into simpler forms that can be absorbed by cannabis plants. Amylase is produced by bacteria and fungi that colonise the soil, and it is also available as a commercial product that can be added to soil as a powder or liquid.
Overall, amylase is a valuable soil amendment in cannabis growing. Its ability to break down complex carbohydrates, enhance soil microbial activity, reduce plant stress, and increase plant yield and quality can lead to healthier, more robust cannabis plants with increased yields and higher-quality products. Amylase can be used in both organic and Hydroponic cannabis growing systems.
