I know bioag.com carries the ful-power if you're willing to ship it; luckily, my local store keeps it stocked on the DL. My understanding of humic v. fulvic is that you take leonardite sol in a NaOH or KOH solution, hit it with HCl, and the humic acid precipitates out while the fulvic stays in solution. Due to it's smaller molecular weight, many believe that fulvic acid is more efficient to use in agricultural applications. So, I'm trying to stay with my Ful-Power plans, but may need to grab some humic as well if the fulvic can't be used as pH-up, especially late in flower when I'm not going to use the silica.
Almost forgot, here's a great resource regarding humates: .......
Not to steal Seamaiden's thread or anything, but... dican01, do you know how the Ancient Amber affects pH?
Mainly like to use the fulvic as foliar. Goes alot further that way and the plants love it.
Basically Cali ,and from what I understand OR followed suit, will not allow products on the shelf with a claim of fulvic acid. This is in part because the powers to be feel there is no acceptable test for fulvic acid. I'm sure this will change in a few years and a few groups working behind the scenes as a consortium to get things cleaned up. There is a test many consider the best but not but not accepted across the board. I talked to an ag testing lab in Cali that's been around for like 40 years and they will test for humics and told me if I could supply them with a solid test for fulvics they'd be all ears.
As for Diamond Nectar forget that stuff. The best fulvic product out there is BioAg's Full Power Humic. Disregard the 'Humic' part on the label cause it's loaded with fulvic. Buy some DN and some FPH and take a look at the color of each...lol. You'll never touch DN again! Another thing is BioAg is the only company using a slow cold bacterial fermentation process to make the product. Virtually everyone else uses and alkali/acid extraction process which dramatically denatures the acids. What you are actually getting are humic and fulvic salts and not humic and fulvic acids. There's a shitload of humic/fulvic powder that comes in from China and very cheap but the stuff is crap. BioAg also makes a powder humic product but not from an alkali/acid extraction or bacterial ferment process . Another thing to keep in mind about powders is if high heat is used in the drying, which most probably due because it is simple and inexpensive, the fulvic acids especially will agglomerate and pretty much become useless. Stick with products from BioAg. For their powder look at TM-7.
i love fulvic as a foliar also. they really do love the stuff.
