why I add a weekley tea to my coco with fulvic/humicSo broski @EventHorizan so not to take up too much space I will just post the link and anyone can read at thier leisure. We were all wondering on the chemistry involved with Si additives. So here is one of the better articles I have come across to date. To add typically Si isnt really needed in soil grows if the soil is of good quality and well balanced as Si is very abundant in good soil. Mainly Si was developed for soiless media ie: hydroponics.
Of particular interest in the read is the thinking that adding fulvic acid allows for more efficient Si uptake. So for the Bill Nye guys, me included here you go. I do like that the author provides references as well.

thanks bro.. I read it..So broski @EventHorizan so not to take up too much space I will just post the link and anyone can read at thier leisure.

Indeed, the thinking that has long been held about green light is just now starting to change and is being called out as a important part of par spectrum. For years a lot of horti dudes didnt think it was a necessary wave length but that school of thought is changing as more research is done. And like you mentioned it does not affect the photoperiodism of flowering plants at lights off.as for green light
green light penetrates the deepest
but does not trigger photosynthisis but does work synergistically with other spectrums ie
400nm/650nm to help with photosynthisis.....
it does help with micronutrient absorption.....but will not effect night and day cycles
white light has a significant amount of green in it if you look at the spectral chart
U guys are little teckies whizes...Indeed, the thinking that has long been held about green light is just now starting to change and is being called out as a important part of par spectrum.

And you know what they say about the three little pigs!if using the tea you would run it every day until chop
the tea is just carbo which helps the micro-life
the more the microlife eats the more the plant creates sugars and your brix go up
The name is Yoda.......You are da man @Wisher619 :D I have been using fulvic acid liquid for years as the molecules are smaller than humic acid and is taken up easily by the rhizosphere. My humics are added via compost and allowed to be mineralized by the herd as the mineralization by microbes makes humics more bio available.
lmao, you little shyt you.U guys are little teckies whizes...
But im the smartest one of all of us!
Because I know you all are smarter at some of this shit, and Im your friend :)
So im only as smart as the collection of all my friends.
:)
So you grow in soil?You are da man @Wisher619 :D I have been using fulvic acid liquid for years as the molecules are smaller than humic acid and is taken up easily by the rhizosphere.

She was a "Brix House"And you know what they say about the three little pigs!
The one that survived was in the house made of brix!
Nuff said!
Living soil and compost. Was a hydro/dwc guy for a long time tho. So I swing both ways lolSo you grow in soil?
For sure!lmao, you little shyt you.
Damn bro everything I think I know was burglarized from somewhere else. The dilemma is having to do the research to vet the claims and confirm the info is indeed correct. Thats the tough part. So much interweb gardening info is purely anecdotal. The real deal is doing the footwork and see what worx best for you and your application. As I always say. "to each their own"
ok then lolLiving soil and compost. Was a hydro/dwc guy for a long time tho. So I swing both ways lol
I def would rock living soil outdoors in my beds....well they are living soilok then lol
I mean I dont but hey to each is their own.. I just find soil so dirty ..........................................
