Some food for thought on humics. I've Been super feeding a very concentrated extract of high grade humic/fluvics during ripening, and they smell especially good so far. (The suff I'm using is especially pungent) I wonder if during ripening especially (oil production) if humics might play another source of carbon in essential oil production, within the plant. Or somehow there's an exchange at the rhizosphere in this respect. Especially during the ripening phase...
(humics/fluvics are what gasoline, coal, and raw energy are made from). aka, ancient dead plant materials. Think crude oil, but different... The phenol and carbohydrate components of it...
I know that some of these studies aren't on cannabis specific species, but I find it interesting. Especially since seeweed is highly regarded as a source for cannabis nitrogen.
This experiment has uncovered the physiological mechanism by which humic acid and seaweed extract can influence plant growth and essential oil positively and produce significant increases in measured traits. It is observed that humic acid and seaweed was more effective than plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on studied traits in basil plant. According to the above findings, the use of humic acid and seaweed extract because of less harmful disadvantage and positive effects on plant growth is an efficient approach to replace chemical fertilizers for sustainable cultivation of basil in Iran and other
developing countries.
Also used for increasing essential oil and complexity in thyme.
Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants:Exploring the Role of Nitric Oxideand Humic Substances
Concluding Remarks and Future PerspectivesCurrent evidence strongly indicates that both NO and ROS play a key role in theexpression of HS-beneficial effects on plant growth. These two molecules aredirectly involved in plant responses under stress conditions. Although controlledexperiments on the effects of HS on plants subjected to abiotic stress different fromnutrient deficiency are scarce, general experience indicate the beneficial action ofHS is more significant and relevant under abiotic stress conditions.It becomes clear that all above-mentioned events caused by HS in plant rootand, thereby, in plant shoot, as well as their main physico-chemical action in rootsurface have to be related to both the tridimensional conformation (supramolecularand/or macromolecular aggregates) and functional group distribution in High Stress.

The Effect of Humic Acid, Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria and Seaweed on Essential Oil, Growth Parameters and Chlorophyll Content in Basil (<i>Ocimum basilicum L.</i>)
Effect of Humic acid, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and seaweed extract on growth parameters, essential oil and chlorophyll content of herb basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) evaluated. This experiment was done in the form of factorial in randomized complete block design (RCBD) in research field...

Effect of soil application of humic acid on nutrients uptake, essential oil and chemical compositions of garden thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) under greenhouse conditions
Humic acid is natural biological organic, which has a high effect on plant growth and quality. However, the mechanisms of the promoting effect of humic acid on the volatile composition were rarely reported. In this study, the effects of soil application ...
