I use URB Organic for my humate. "Feed the soil, not the plant." is the mantra I swear by. I like to use Hi-Brix Molasses for Plants as a carbohydrate source for my humate. If I am getting ready to transplant from 1gal to 7gal, I will treat the new soil with 30ml/gal of URB and 10ml/gal of Molasses. Then I feed URB every other watering and have a carb source on the opposite watering days. My plants love what I'm doing!

Don't have much to say about them myself as just started using them in my dwc. Grabbed mainly as an additive for creating my live soil but figured I'd doze everything got going on now. Anything gotta worry about using it? Noticed builds up like a sledge in bottom. Can there be too much in the res.. will it effect terpines or flavor of flower if not flushed out?

Hey , I only really started using humic acids on their own recently... but i did notice the biggest positive difference in my young plants. Which makes me believe it's helping during other phases too just not as noticeably as my babies.

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

Exit EC in peat and perlite Variety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?
