Hey just wondering what everyone's using for humic acid/fluvic acid/seaweed in hydroponics DWC? What's the best one out there that may possibly contain all three. I like general hydroponics but I'm open to using other brands.

I swear by it, but its strong and should only be used sparingly on plants in mid veg onwards in my opinion as its too easy to over dose on really small plants and they end up sorta mutated lookin... But when used properly its effing epic how fast the shit works!! I use Hy- Gens Humiboosta and I promise if used with your nutes the uptake is def much better/faster. I know synthetic nutes are fast acting anyways but it really does look like it knocks a day or two off how long it takes to notice a change in the plants after a feeding with this stuff in it. My base veg nutes have a touch of humic/fluvic acids in them already but it seems the more you use within the tolerance of the plant, the better the results- right up til you use too much and the leaves crinkle and she starts growin funny lookin and semi stunts for a bit... so be warned. the resin production on my zkittlez from the last dose of this went into overdrive in id say 48 hrs, just started weeping resin. Real low last dose two weeks before harvest on its own, and stopped nutes the week before that. I just chopped a shoe box full of buds off today as they are lookin real close if not there already so doing a small test batch to see, just cant believe they should have 10 more days at least on em. Never had a plant race thru flower so fast before in my life. Only thing I changed really this year was adding this stuff. The other brands I used back in the day were good, but nothing like this stuff.

Npk industries raw humic acid Npk Industries raw full up (fulvic) Use organic sea kelp powder as a soil ammendment or top dressing. Atlantis do some great/cheap combos on Amazon too check them out.

These types of things really are meant for soil. Any good micro enzyme to help nute uptake and a easy grow,bloom a micro nute that covers lots of nutes in 1. Most good grow&bloom will have micro nutes which are very important for autos more so than photos. Try keep it as simple as you can. PH can be a tricky enough thing to get right in DWC and seaweed and all those things mixed with high 02 water, I really don't think they'll be any benefit other than causing nute lock and so on. Keep it simple DWC will take care of itself. These things you are talking about work best in warm substrates dunno how well they work in DWC but all I know is there is much easier ways to make good bactira in your tank. I know I'll be dropping a lot of my AN line and switching to a lot more simp nutes, and a lot less in cost also. Good luck happy growing.

I like liquid karma from botanicare. B-vitamins, amino acids, kelp, yucca extract and some other good stuff. It seems most people think you should go sterile and not use any of that stuff. I like it in my grows, although it probably does cause some problems, but DWC is easy to fix issues. If you have a problem, just do a reservoir change and you are golden. Try it out and see if it works for you. Good luck.

I have used humic/fulvic in hydro but didnt get any benefits from it. And there is some debate that overdosing humic can cause your plants to herm. What works best for me is to use a high quality complete nutrient and keep your feed as simple as possible
