Nitrogen uptake

[Ralph]

There is a thread on the Aquabotanic forum on nitrogen use by plants (ammonium vs. nitrate). It's not for the faint of heart though (they use words like cation and mitochondria), but if you're curious and up for a challenge:

LOL, it's ALL YOUR FAULT that thread came into existance! I wanted to make sure I was right before discussing things in the "No Nitrates" thread. Tom certainly fried a few of my brain cells with that one, but I learned a lot. They go into great depth on the reasons why we dose the way we do.

I'm goin' get some more caffeine in me and give it another try (with dictionary in hand).

Thanks for posting that. I think I lost a few brain cells in the process but it helped clear up a few questions that I have had.
