Plant can directly take up the intact amino acids, thus bypass the microbial mineralization of organic nitrogen. As an excellent carbon and nitrogen source, there exists competition for amino acid absorption between plant roots.and soil microorganisms.
Well I've got some plants that are finishing up, and I'm itching to try something new. I always am a fan of the stinky, so this is right up my alley.
Was really hoping to enhance or boost oils and trichome development, and overall oil complexity, character, terps, ect... What to use... Up till now, been using extra bits of sulfur, and humates/fluvates, keeping a healthy, diverse biome in the coco substrate. Also been using some dry stressing techniques & UVA/B lamps. All helpful stuff, up to a point, IMO. But I want more.
So I got to thinking about amino's a bit more. How much they drive oil production. Cannabis has 20 amino acids. Including Vitamin B6, B12, riboflavin, niacin, and thiamine.
There are various amino plant based extracts available on the open market....
The one I got today is coco amino extract. After extraction, the sap gets stored and ages. During this time, it ferments due to the natural sugars present within it. The final result tastes savory and not at all like coconut. More like soy sauce.... stinky....
So I made some mixture 3 tsp makes 470ppm in 1 gallon, and the ph is around 6.5, so I might pH it downward a tad. Any thoughts or suggestions on doing this?
Here's a bit on Amino Acids in plants.
Extensive efforts have been made to fortify essential amino acids and boost nutrition in plants, but unintended effects on growth and physiology are also observed. Understanding how different amino acid metabolisms are connected with other biological pathways is therefore important. In addition to protein synthesis, amino acid metabolism is also tightly linked to energy and carbohydrate metabolism, the carbon-nitrogen budget, hormone and secondary metabolism, stress responses, and so on.
