I love that stuff. Makes a great martini, but its really affective with chelating nutrients making them more bioavailable. This is a good thing, because once you find the sweet spot you will see that you dont need to have PPMs as high as you normally would. A plant strain that is reputed to be sensitive to nutrients can really benefit from this, but let's face it most overfeeding anyway. To the state of California, humic acid and Fulvic acid are the same thing. Both are humates and come from the same neighborhood. Technically, the difference is where they are solubility according to pH. Humic breaks down in a more alkaline solution. Fulvic is soluable throughout the pH scale. To be clear... fulvic acid does not carry an acid pH. Its usual neutral.
I've used fulvic acid on plants that were in a funk with great success. I had a mother a few seasons ago that really wasn't doing well. I had taken clones and didn't really want it to grow, so I wasn't feeding it properly, the light was dimmed down, it wasn't in good shape. The soil was old and salty. I flushed the shit out of it with fulvic acid and and pHed water and it slowly came around, and ended up doing OK in flower.
They sell this shit everywhere. Ive used Diamond Nectar from Gen Hydro, Fulvex from Botanicare, and Fulpower from Bioag. Fulpower is the best. Its more than the others, but its the goods.
This is my penance for spending so much time trashing the poor Canadians, and not talking plants. Im sorry Canadians, I realize you can't help it. Haha.

If your putting it in hydro go with the liquid. There are granules, but I can only imagine it wouldn't work out in water.
Woohoo, plants look great Smokey. The C91 mutant mutated well. She's starting to look like a plant again.

@Stltoed how did you make out with your seed hunting?

Struck out. Something is wrong with Seedsman, Gorilla won't take my card, Oaseeds is dealing in euros these days, True North only takes Discover, and Mastercard, Attitude didnt like my card either. I dont see a bank draft working out, and I don't mine bitcoin, so im kinda in the weeds. If anyone knows of seed bank that sells more than their own strains give me a ring please
But, I have an offer for a clone of a high performance CBD strain that sounds promising. We'll see how that goes... fingers crossed. It would be cool just to meet another 420 member, the clone would be icing on the cake.
Its not like I dont have seeds haha. Just nothing I've been dieing to grow. I'll NEVER grow Strawberry Banana again.

I have paid true north with e transfer before. If you were one of us wacky Canucks I could give you some cuttings.

Never had such issues. Ive used Oaseeds Gorilla, and Seedsman on many occasions. Someone was saying Seedsman is having serious issues, which is backed by their shipping ETA of 6 weeks! I appreciate your concern, it is what it is. Maybe ill grow tomatoes next haha. Some nice beefsteak 'maters mmmmm. But how do you roll them? What about a rosin press? I'll figure something out. Thanks again

@Stltoed would fit in as a crazy Canuck. He will be eating Timbits and guzzling down a Double Double in no time and not the In-n-Out Double-Double he is probably used to either.
