<span class="link_user">@mad_scientist</span>, your name suits you well brother :raised_hands:

<span class="link_user">@CRiSPrGrow</span>, It was the last spray i made. I stopped when the buds started to forming. Kelp extract has a huge variety of different molecules like hormones, enzymes, vitamins, minerals etc. plus amino acids, but you don&#039;t have to care about amino acids since they can&#039;t be utilized by the plants when spraying. Amino acids need to be broken down first by enzymes ( synthetic enzymes or naturally produced enzymes by beneficial microbes ) in order to give nutrients to the plant (this process is called diamination). The reaction gives nitrogen in forms of mainly ammonia and ammonium (as far as i know) +something else depending from the amino acid and the enzyme. For example the amino acid tryptophan reacting with the enzyme triptophanase will give indole+pyruvic acid+Ammonia (NH3) . Indole is an essential substance for the Indolebutyric acid synthesis which is a plant hormone at the auxins category and the pyruvic acid can act as a PH buffer for the soil. :wink: That is the magic of organic growing ! :sunglasses:
