The natural process of recycling essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) within the soil or growing medium. Through nutrient cycling, microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and earthworms break down organic matter, releasing nutrients back into the soil in forms that cannabis plants can readily absorb. This process ensures a sustainable, self-renewing source of nutrients, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
