The THC molecule is just Carbon Oxygen & Hydrogen ?!

I was wondering where on the THC molecule Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium might sit.

Since we put so much energy into getting our plants the N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Su etc. etc.

So I looked it up and it looks like the THC molecule just has the dark gray Carbon atoms, the red Oxygen atom, and the white Hydrogen atoms, in the model.

Not complaining, it works good

"Tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as dronabinol, is the main psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis plant. It was isolated by Raphael Mechoulam, Yechiel Gaoni, and Habib Edery from the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel in 1964. In pure form, it is a glassy solid when cold, and becomes viscous and sticky if warmed. An aromatic terpenoid, THC has a very low solubility in water, but good solubility in most organic solvents such as butane or hexane. As is the case with nicotine and caffeine, the role of THC in Cannabis, it seems, is to protect the plant from herbivores or pathogens. [2] THC also possesses high UV-B (280-315 nm) absorption properties, protecting the plant from harmful"


harmful something, maybe UV.

pretty sure there's some cheechium and chongium in there somewhere

Everything goes better with ethyl.

NITROGEN
Nitrogen is primarily responsible for vegetative growth. Nitrogen assimilation into amino acids is the building block for protein in the plant. It is a component of chlorophyll and is required for several enzyme reactions.




PHOSPHORUS
Phosphorus is a major component in plant DNA and RNA. Phosphorus is also critical in root development, crop maturity and seed production.



POTASSIUM
The role of potassium in the plant is indirect, meaning that it does not make up any plant part. Potassium is required for the activation of over 80 enzymes throughout the plant. It's important for a plant's ability to withstand extreme cold and hot temperatures, drought and pests. Potassium increases water use efficiency and transforms sugars to starch in the grain-filling process.

CALCIUM

Calcium, in the form of calcium pectate, is responsible for holding together the cell walls of plants. When calcium is deficient, new tissue such as root tips, young leaves, and shoot tips often exhibit distorted growth from improper cell wall formation. Calcium is also used in activating certain enzymes and to send signals that coordinate certain cellular activities.

the phytocannabinoids in the cannabis are made from mica... ( metallic oxides)
