Glad the info was helpful. I am generally cutting out the silica after 4 weeks of flowering . By then the branches have possibly absorbed plenty. I do know dynagrow recommends higher application rate at first then lower it for maintenance application rate.
Still like to hear more from Jk or any other facts on the matter.
I am planning on using the bioag fulvic once I run out of what I got on hand. (old f1 from AN, old flavor fulv from HN)
I found the bioAG FULVIC goes for about $47.99 + 10 shipping on ebay.
NOTE THE PRODUCT IS LISTED AS humic but is a fulvic acid. They are located and shipping in CA. few other stores online if you search.
The 8% fulvic I been using has a Application rate of 1-5 ml per gallon for root application. Not bad at all, foliar will go ever further. IMHO a good ROI.
More info on Humic 12
ENP Inc is the distributor of the humic12.
Humic 12 works as a complexing agent when formulated with trace elements. This helps unlock nutrients such as phosphorus and potash, making them more readily available to the plant and improves uptake and availability of micronutrients to the plant. Humic 12 increases cation exchange capacity at the root zone for better uptake of nutrients. It will condition the soil, helping provide a friendly environment for soil microbes improving seed germination and root development. Humic 12 acts as a buffering agent for soils. This reduces phytoxic effects of harsh fertilizers and chemicals and provides activation for weed control products.
Humic 12 is 12% humic 2.4% fulvic and 30% carbon.
The Humax also looks like is a contentrated product. (12% humic 3%fulvic) Looks very similar to humic 12 .
I try to determine the way it is made and then the % of ingredient. I started looking at other sources of concentrated products and found the humic12.
Comparing the % of product and application rate to determine the most cost effective solution of a quality product.
few products and there ph#
I know from experience of checking my res while adding each product. I then ses how it effect ph and ec.
OOPS Screwed up the pic. not sure of % of humate bloom. Just wanted to show how anothe rbrand of humic raised ph.
another product I know that raises ph is rhizotonic by canna. Not organic and not cheap.
humic ph raise, fulvic (real fulvic) ph down.
Have you guys tried Earth Juice Ph up?
I am still learning about the soil food web but my understanding is that ph mangement is not as critical in a 100% organic growing medium.
I do not own any ph up. usually have not needed it, unless I add too much fulvic (or use too much ph down like when using a aero cloner).
Like others probably do, I like to let the ph drift within the safe range for the medium, rather than get anal about a exact ph number.
Glad people are sharing what works for them and what they are finding out. Really appreciate it.
I am not trying to promote any brand just help to share what is most cost effective and works.
