THE CIRCLE Presents The more you know W/ Nik from Rooted Leaf

In this episode, we welcome Nik from Rooted Leaf to the Circle to discuss a revolutionary approach to feeding cannabis that is perfect for the homegrower focusing on natural and regenerative inputs. Nik breaks down the science behind carbon-based fertilization and how it is changing the game for increasing potency and yield!

Key Highlights You Won't Want to Miss:

• Carbon as a Macronutrient: Learn why Rooted Leaf treats carbon as the most important macronutrient. Since cannabinoids and terpenes are 80-90% carbon by weight, Nik explains how feeding carbon directly into plant pathways significantly boosts the production of these active metabolites.

• Fertilizer that Feeds Your Soil: Rooted Leaf products are designed to work harmoniously with regenerative and living soil systems. We clarify the common confusion: despite regulatory labeling, their products are not bagged mineral salts. Instead, they are organic complexes manufactured from scratch using fermentation chemistry (e.g., calcium chelate from fermented orange peels), which contributes to and feeds the soil biology.

• Small Pots, Massive Results: Hear directly from Howling who has pulled almost an ounce from a solo cup using Rooted Leaf products, demonstrating how effective this modular product line is even for small pot organics..

• The Gateway Product for Natural Growers: Even if you're running a well-amended living soil, Nik has recommendations for how to incorporate some of the products for immediate results.

• Saving Energy, Boosting Potency: Discover the unique thermodynamic perspective on feeding plants. By providing plants with compounds they would normally have to spend energy making (like a "half-built cell wall"), Rooted Leaf allows them to redirect that saved energy into producing high-energy molecules—cannabinoids and terpenes.

• Natural "Sunscreen" for Your Plants: Nik details how plant extracts rich in anthocyanins (found in their products) can be used as a foliar spray to interact directly with excess light energy, acting like a protective sunscreen. This reduces oxidative stress, allowing home growers to utilize higher light intensities indoors.

• DIY Homebrew Tip: Nik shares his recommended entry-level beneficial input that any homegrower can easily make.
