Yeah, so potassium is pretty important. And I feel like the topic, or the conversation about potassium is, in a lot of ways, very difficult to prepare for. And we've talked about, you know, a lot of the other elements, nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus. We kind of beat the bush around this whole like, you know, let's have a conversation around potassium, because it's really difficult to talk about potassium. Because what it means to prepare for a conversation around potassium is that you have to be ready to talk about literally everything that happens in a plant's metabolism, on every single level, in every single step of the way. And that's not an understatement. I mean, potassium is quite literally everywhere at every moment in the plant, responsible for pretty much everything that's going on in inside of the plant. Geez. And the easiest way to kind of understand what I'm trying to get at is to say that potassium, as a cation, or as a positively charged element, is accumulated in greater quantities than any other element in the plant, more so than calcium, and more so than magnesium, and more so than nitrogen in its ammonia, former, you know, because ammonia has a has a positive charge to it. So that kind of counts as a, you know, cation form of nitrogen, but potassium is taken up in larger quantities than any other cation, and so it exists. Yeah, it's really important. It's it's taken up in very large quantities. And like I said, it's responsible for pretty much everything, every step along the way. So for example, when the stomata of the plants open and close, the actual physical opening and closing of those stomata is a potassium mediated function. There are these floods of potassium. You could say that come first from the vacuoles, which is kind of like the storage area for most of the potassium ions, even though it's kind of spread out everywhere across the plant. So when the stomata are closed and the sun rises and they all of a sudden open up to allow for photosynthesis and transpiration to occur, it's actually the movement of the potassium ions inside of the guard cells that allows for the opening and closing of those stomata, whoa, and this regulates transpiration. So it's like the primary metabolic functions of the plants, you know, as the stomata, open up. They allow for this exchange of CO two that kind of comes in and diffuses across the stomata, and then the water that leaves through transpiration and all kinds of other metabolites. You know, there's even microbes that colonize this phyllosphere. So it's very rich kind of area overall. But the idea is that as the stomata open and close, that is a function that's mediated by potassium. And so right from the get go, when we're talking about photosynthesis and we're talking about carbon metabolism, well the stomata are open and closed by potassium, so clearly potassium plays a primary role at the very first step. Now, when we look at on a more microscopic level, some of the enzymes that participate in carbon metabolism, those have either active sites that require potassium, or they are sort of turned on and off by potassium. So a lot of these enzymes, they they are, you know, maybe present in the plant, but they're not activated. They're not turned on, so they're not doing their thing. It's kind of like somebody sleeping at night, you know, yeah, they're still alive, but they're not active. They're not functioning. They're not doing their thing. So a lot of times that functioning of plants and the enzymes is determined by the presence of potassium. So as the potassium kind of moves and floods throughout the plants, it can kind of wake up and turn on a bunch of enzymes that are associated with carbon metabolism. So it's very important now to kind of get back to your primary question about, where does it, you know, come from in nature? Potassium is pretty present across a variety of different soils. In fact, is present in a lot of different mineral types that are kind of common throughout the world. Certainly here in the United States, the issue has always been, though, the availability, because there's this weathering that has to occur. So as plants grow, they have to kind of release certain types of compounds, like organic acids, to help chemically weather soils. And as they break those soils down, perhaps there's some assistance. From the microbes and the fungi, they can kind of access these resources and break them down into the potassium that's inside of them. And it's pretty common across most soils, like I said. So it's kind of out there in nature. In fact, a lot of times, if you look at the amount of potassium that's present, you know, anywhere below 12 inches in the soil, you'll find a high concentration. It's a component of clay, for example, a lot of plays in the US, but it's just not available for plants. So the question has always been like, how do you break that potassium down? How do you get available for the plant? Because clearly, it plays this very, very important role. It's taken up in huge quantities, and it's responsible for just so much primary and secondary metabolism in the plants, yeah? So
