Hey so I guess the server isn't sending me emails when a response comes in through the thread; i changed some settings around and hopefully can start to respond much quicker to the questions. To answer Pher2; yes there are a number of other organic/Bio products available. I will post the labels in a photo folder and send links sometime today. But yeah the products our industry uses that are fully organic "CDFA Organic Input Material" are the Seaweed and Humic Acid 8%...
California Dept Food/Ag=CDFA, won't let us, or any other company for that matter, use the fulvic content in the % breakdown. So while we used to have a 12% humic, it was really 8%humic+4%fulvic, any company that claims to have a 12% humic is probably just re-bottling another companies, Hmm I wonder who???? I have seen it over and over and over, humic acid at a concentration higher than 9% will just precipitate and fall out of solution. I am 99% sure this is the case, yet I will ask the chemists and get a straight answer. Yet so you guys know, although we cant disclose b/c CDFA doesn't recognize the fulvic input, there is a 4% fulvic in our "8% Humic Acid"... Our Hydroponic based "Mendocino Amber Fulvic" is a 1% humic and a 7% fulvic, for the soil growers out there i would use the Humic blend for a root drench and the Amber for foliar application. I would use the Amber Humic in any recirculating system and any drip system as a root drench and obviously as a foliar application.
Some other organic based liquids that aren't registered as fully organic are the Jumpstart (similar to Superthrive and RapidStart), the Mendocino Honey, Biocozyme, and Mendocino Avalanche are all organic based. The importance of the Ph i feel depends most on the type of system and medium one is using while growing. In a DWC setup it will matter the most, while in coco and soil beds/container gardening it will probably matter the least. I've heard guys who kill it at 5.6ph and those who kill it and keep it at 6.8-7 the whole way through. Again depends on medium and system used, as well as personal preference. I will try to attach a bunch of helpful literature to my file folder that everyone can use as resources, maybe A4 can help me if I screw it up (Thanks A4 for all the help man!!!) I think for most growers 5.6-6.8 is an acceptable range; yet I think that if the Ph is close enough it will matter more about ppm's than anything.
Hope this helps man...
Anybody have a good website to try and find some of this stuff where shipping isn't more than the product?
lus lots of other nute. co. make their stuff from GM products and sell it at a higher price...I haven't found a better Bloomer then the HB its the Shizzl !
