It's true lol........wait a minute, why am I laughing? I'M BROKE!

smore:

Chelators- Synthetic acids that enable trace elements to be absorbed by plants before they precipitate.

Biogenic Decalcification- When CO2 is deficient the plants can suck it right out of the hardening constituents of the carbonate hardness, thus raising pH.

Tuber- Storage organ for some plants (Aponogeton) that supplies nutrients during their dormant periods.

Dormant Periods- Some plants observe it to adjust to native (dry)seasonal fluctuations.

Internode- portion of the stem axis between two nodes.

Demineralization- extraction of dissolved salts in the water byway of ion exchange or RO.

Runner- Lateral offshoot of a plant which creeps horizontally to produce daughter plants.

Cutting- Detached parts of stem plants for replanting.
