Nutrient Deficiencies: Macronutrients are the elements plants use most: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Unhealthy plants usually display symptoms that are due to a lack of one of the Macronutrients (N,P, or K).

Problem: Leaves turn pale yellow.
Cause: Nitrogen deficiency.

Problem: Dark green, soft, weak growth.
Cause: Too much Nitrogen.

Problem: Underside of leaves turn dark green and produce dark spots and eventually slowed and stunted growth.
Cause: Phosphorus deficiency.

Problem: Yellowing at the edge of leaves.
Cause: Potassium deficiency (most likely) , iron deficiency, or imbalanced pH.

These deficiencies are minimized and rare if following the directions on any of the nutrients carried by Interior Gardens.

GARDENING: What is the best method?

OLD FASHION / ORGANIC VS. MODERN / HYDROPONIC (Soil-Less)

There is a misconception that, "organic is better". I say, "simple is better". Lets look at the facts. Nutrients (N, P, K, micros, etc…) from organic sources are far too "hot"(too high in concentration) for plants to use. Denitrifying bacteria and/or enzymes are the only sufficient means to breakdown nutrients. It is very difficult to break down organic fertilizers. One can make a "tea" from a measure of manure (any organic source) and it is impossible to duplicate the concentration. No consistency and denitrifying is still needed. There is the soil to consider, yet no way to establish a consistent measure or duplication of nutrient content of the soil. There is also no easy way to know what toxins are present in the soil. There are several more dangerous inhabitants of soil than beneficial. This is obviously not very simple. Organic Gardening is labor oriented, impossible to consistently formulate fertilizer and organic gardening is also very dirty work.

Modern fertilizers are very consistent in formulation and concentration. Plants more readily metabolize these fertilizers. No denitrifying is needed. In Modern Gardening (Hydroponic) there is no dirt. Growing is done in very clean conditions, (indoors or greenhouse outdoors) which allows far more control over potential pests and growing environment. The advances in gardening have only occurred in the hydroponic sector of growing. The equipment is very simple. The most advanced hydroponic equipment is most often automatic. Set it and it works. The amount of labor is tremendously reduced in modern / hydroponic gardening. Numerous studies show not only better tasting fruits and vegetables with higher nutrient levels, but also much greater harvests per growing area. The herbs, vegetables, fruit and flowers that consistently win the awards for growing are most often indoor or greenhouse outdoor grown.

Many people today buy under-size fruit and vegetables, that are also inferior in taste and quality because they are "organically grown". Though they have the best intentions for their families they are not providing the best food available today. These people could be saving the extra money that these inferior products cost and growing their own fresh, nourishing and delicious food. When we know the quality, consistency and concentration from the beginning of the products we use, our harvests are understandably much better. People are often misled into thinking that, "if it’s new, it’s complex." People are also misled into thinking that modern gardening fertilizers are the same as the environment damaging commercial farming fertilizers (more like the too "hot" organic sources they are made from).

All of the most notable gardens and zoos around the world use modern gardening fertilizers. Whenever there are plants, fish, birds or animals in an enclosure, the caretakers use modern gardening fertilizers (most often Dyna-Gro), lights (supplemental and sole source), and irrigation equipment. The ease of modern / hydroponic growing maximizes enjoyment. The future food need of our world shall be addressed by the most simple, efficient, clean and practical means of growing. "Simple is better and easier". Most independent thinkers will agree. Few people have the time or resources to put into organic gardening that is necessary to do it safely and successfully (soil test facilities, time, area, etc…), some people have been told it’s better and believe it. The rest of us can make up our own minds and would rather work smart instead of hard.

Carbon Max and the "Nutrient Absorption" Process

Plants take in carbon dioxide and transpire oxygen. What has not been known until recently is that plants can take in carbon directly through the roots! Plants produce sugars and phosphatides that transfer the light energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis) to fuel all of the plants’ processes. Certain forms of carbon can facilitate absorption and transport complex nutrient molecules, phosphatides and simple sugars, to the plant directly through the roots. Ordinarily root cells cannot take in the complex molecules without first breaking them down, (through the actions of bacteria and/or enzymes) then reassembling the molecules inside the plant. Sound complex? It is. It also takes a lot of energy. Energy the plants could be using for growth and yield instead of wasting energy to convert energy! Carbon Max is the only product that facilitates direct absorption! Carbon Max provides the plants with the sugars and phosphatides that are ordinarily produced during photosynthesis, so this provides a ready source of energy for the plants. By taking whole nutrient molecules in and not having to break them down to use them, the plants receive a
metabolic supercharging that has never been available.

The plants get so much more from the fertilizer using Carbon Max than ever possible before. Growers can use less fertilizer per feeding and obtain more growth and yield. Plant leaves are 30% sugars (produced by photosynthesis) and are the energy factories for the plant. Carbon Max gives the plants ready to use energy so the plant processes the nutrients faster than ever. If plants are energy deficient they will produce less leaves and less fruit. Plants will divert all energy to seed production first, only showing true growth when there is a reserve of energy for the rest of the plants’ processes. Nutrients (N, P, K, micros, etc…) are not energy until after they are converted. Energy stores (sugars, CoA, ATP levels and fats) fuel the plant processes. All the nutrients in the world cannot produce a single molecule of energy alone. The light energy must be converted to chemical energy to be used by the plants. The "Absolute Nutrient Level" does not have to be high to be utilized, if the plant is provided with a ready source of chemical energy. Flowering plants use so much carbon and phosphorus because the plants are busy in the most energy intensive process, the production of "Phospholipids" (the main component of plant cell membranes). Phospholipids are from 40 to 80 atoms of carbon per molecule (far more than CO2). An enormous amount of energy goes to the production of lipids. Carbon Max is the only source of Phospholipids and ready chemical energy. Carbon Max saves the plants a tremendous amount of energy by providing a pool of Phospholipids and ready chemical energy. Imagine if your body did not have to spend energy to digest foods, you would be able to perform at a more productive level because the energy used would only go to performance, not energy converting processes.

Plants normally get their energy from the sugars they build out of carbon dioxide, water, fertilizer and the sun. Carbon Max provides this source of energy without the photosynthetic process. Now plants can use the energy from sugars and Phospholipids for other biochemical processes (fruit and flowers) instead of converting energy to build Phospholipids and sugars. Carbon Max transports whole molecules (nutrients, sugars, etc…) directly through the plasma membranes into the roots. Carbon Max is a complete formula that facilitates the TCA cycle 24 hours a day so production of high energy (NADH, FADH2, ATP, CoA and GTP) molecules occur even when the lights are off! Carbon Max will make your plants more resistant to temperature and drought. Plants will be easier to take cuttings from (higher survival rates). Plants will use 20% to 30% less fertilizer and will yield 30% to 50% more. The real value to all growers is immense. Carbon Max can be used with any chemical fertilizer.

Organic growers can use Carbon Max also after nutrient value of fertilizer and soil have been established (reduce the amount of fertilizer, the "hotter" the fertilizer). Carbon Max helps to chelate and buffer the organic molecules, but over fertilization can occur if proportions are not strictly observed. Organic fertilizers tend to be very "hot", a little will go a very long way. In many cases the organic soils alone will have more than enough fertilizer.

Hydroponic gardening is the most efficient, simple and clean method of growing. Carbon Max will help to make hydroponic growing far more productive per growth and yield. There is nothing that will facilitate plant growth better, indoors or outdoors. Carbon Max has beneficial properties that are too numerous to list. Most plants will show growth differences in the vegetative phase, but the flowering phase will be amazing! You don’t need luck any more, so GOOD GROWING!
