My guess is during veg it's helpful in fueling development and the flowering period, to help produce excess protein stores that help channel excess energy into flowering power. Am I right to assume it's biggest effect is during early and mid flowering?

Does anyone use L-amino's such as AN "big bud"? Pretty similar correct?

No expert here, but aminos are widely used in Real agriculture by vegetables, orchards and flower growers..
They works also as chelating agent....and are much better than EDTA chelates,
Megacrop uses em....
Of course if you score em from a farmer store you will find much better product at a much better price than the pricey ones commercialized for weed....

Yea, I think a little goes a long way with this kind of stuff, probably beneficial to add small amounts though some of the key time frames of development. So this could help with regulating some bio availability of some metals?

A means of keeping metal concentrations low, especially some of the heavier metals. Help protect against metal toxicity.

hexadentate ("six-toothed") ligand and chelating agent,
Anyone who's got a good grasp of what's going on here, please feel free to elaborate.

Looks like a significant pathway to the formations of plant ligands, and interact with humates, fluvics to enhance flavor. regulating metals, ie. potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, sodium, molybdenum among others.

A means to store in soil/medium without creating toxicity.

Aminopolycarboxylic acid

The solubilisation of Fe3+ ions at or below near neutral pH can be accomplished using EDTA. This property is useful in agriculture including hydroponics. However, given the pH dependence of ligand formation, EDTA is not helpful for improving iron solubility in above neutral soils.[8] Otherwise, at near-neutral pH and above, iron(III) forms insoluble salts, which are less bioavailable to susceptible plant species.


An aminopolycarboxylic acid (sometimes abbreviated APCA) is a chemical compound containing one or more nitrogen atoms connected through carbon atoms to two or more carboxyl groups. Aminopolycarboxylates that have lost acidic protons form strong complexes with metal ions. This property makes aminopolycarboxylic acids useful complexone in a wide variety of chemical, medical, and environmental applications.[1]

Structure
The parent of this family of ligands is the amino acid glycine, H2NCH2COOH, in which the amino group, NH2, is separated from the carboxyl group, COO>H by a single methylene group, CH2. When the carboxyl group is deprotonated the glycinate ion can function as a bidentate ligand, binding the metal centre through the nitrogen and one of two carboxylate oxygen atoms, to form chelate complexes of metal ions.[2]

Replacement of a hydrogen atom on the nitrogen of glycine by another acetate residue, –CH2COOH gives iminodiacetic acid, IDA, which is a tridentate ligand. Further substitution gives nitrilotriacetic acid, NTA, which is a tetradentate ligand.[3] These compounds can be described as aminopolycarboxylates. Related ligands can be derived from other amino acids other than glycine, notably aspartic acid.







a metal complex with the iminodiacetate anion

Higher dentacity is achieved by linking two or more glycinate or IDA units together. EDTA contains two IDA units with the nitrogen atoms linked by two methylene groups and is hexadentate. DTPA has two CH2CH2 bridges linking three nitrogen atoms and is octadentate. TTHA[1] has ten potential donor atoms.

Applications
The chelating properties of aminopolycarboxylates can be engineered by varying the groups linking the nitrogen atoms so as to increase selectivity for a particular metal ion. The number of carbon atoms between the nitrogen and carboxyl group can also be varied and substituents can be placed on these carbon atoms. Altogether this allows for a vast range of possibilities. Fura-2 is noteworthy as it combines two functionalities: it has high selectivity for calcium over magnesium and it has a substituent which makes the complex fluorescent when it binds calcium. This reagent provides a means of determining the calcium content in intra-cellular fluid. Details concerning applications of the following examples can be found in the individual articles and/or reference. The aminopolycarboxylate nicotianamine is widespread in plants, where it is used to transport iron.
