2 reviews for GS Plant Foods’ Liquid Humic Acid Concentrate
Price range: $19.00 through $140.00
GS Plant Foods’ Liquid Humic Acid Concentrate is a plant supplement that is easily absorbed and offers several benefits:
Boosts Plant Health: It strengthens plant immunity, enhances metabolism, and promotes better root development.
Improves Nutrient Uptake: Humic Acid helps plants absorb essential nutrients more effectively, increases chlorophyll, sugar, and amino acids, and enhances nitrogen efficiency, allowing you to use less fertilizer.
Stress Resistance: It helps plants cope with stress from heat, drought, cold, disease, and insects, making them more robust overall.
Increases Yield: Humic Acid also boosts plant productivity and strengthens stems.
Soil Benefits:
– In the soil, it stimulates microorganisms that create humus, a vital component of organic matter that improves soil quality.
– The Liquid Humic Acid is made from compost and Leonardite, a naturally oxidized form of low-grade coal.
A 32-ounce bottle of this concentrate can make up to 32 gallons of liquid, making it an efficient way to support plant and soil health.
Directions for Use:
Our Organic Humic is very safe to use. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, you don’t need to worry about harming your plants by applying too much.
– **Mixing:** Add 2 ounces of the humic concentrate to 1 gallon of water.
– **Coverage:** Each gallon of this mixture can cover an area of 500 to 1,000 square feet.
**Application Methods:**
– **For individual trees or plants:** Mix the humic with water in a bucket and pour it directly at the base of the plant, around the soil.
– **For larger areas like gardens or lawns:** Use a hose-end sprayer set to 2 ounces per gallon. These sprayers are available at hardware stores for $5 to $10.
**How often to apply:** Ideally, apply every 3-4 weeks during the growing season, aiming for at least 3 applications.
**Benefits of Using Liquid Humic Acid:**
– Quickly penetrates the soil and reaches the roots for fast absorption.
– Easier to apply than compost.
– Safe for indoor plants.
– Can be used with other fertilizers or soil conditioners.
– Helps stabilize soil pH.
– Increases beneficial soil bacteria.
– Improves soil’s ability to retain water.
The characteristics of humic substances are classified into humin, humic and fulvic acids in relation to different solubility at acid and alkaline pH, and their activities strongly depend on their origin and molecule characteristics.
It has been shown that the molecules fraction with higher mobility and better diffusion rates exhibited the highest stimulating effect on the the plant metabolism and photosynthetic activity.
BLUE SKY BIOCHAR
Formulas for Soil Drenching, raw Biochar Inoculation, Foliar Spraying.
For Soil Drenching and raw Biochar inoculation, add the following Blue Sky Products to each gallon of water or Compost Tea.
1/4-1/2 oz Wood Vinegar liquid (for Biochar inoculation, use 1 oz.)
1 oz EM-1 liquid
2-4 oz Molasses
1 oz Fish/Kelp formula liquid
1/2-1 oz Yucca Wet liquid
1 oz Humic Acid liquid
1 oz Ocean Magic Minerals
1 tablespoon Big Foot Mycorrhizae Concentrate powder
Apply this liquid blend around each plant just after planting and as a periodic maintenance
every few months or as often as needed. We also recommended adding Rock Dust periodically to your soil.
When using this blend for raw Biochar inoculation, make sure to wet the raw Biochar first with some water, thoroughly mixing it while you wet it down, but not too much, and then distribute the blend in to the wet Biochar using a shovel to continually mix as you pour in the blend at a slow pace so it get mixed in completely and uniformly. Let it sit for a few days or so, and it is ready to use, fully stocked and ready to grow.
For Foliar Spraying, add the following Blue Sky products to each gallon of water, preferably non-chlorinated water. Or you can use a Brewed Compost Tea in place of the water for a greater effect.
1/2 oz Wood Vinegar liquid
1 oz EM-1 liquid
1 oz Hyperdrive or Yucca Wet liquid surfactant
1 oz Humic Acid liquid
1/2- 1 oz Fish/Kelp liquid
As an option, you can add other nutrients and biology to the mix following the directions on the label.
Spray the plants in the late afternoon with a fine mist on every part of each plant.
Foliar spraying should be done regularly throughout the growing cycle.
The earlier in the plant’s life cycle you start applying foliar solutions, the better the plant will develop immunity to insects and disease, and increase the nutrient density of the food and plants you harvest. The main goal in using these protocols is to raise the Brix level of what you are growing, because when the Brix goes above 12, plants develop their own immunity to insects and diseases, and nutrient density rises dramatically.
Blue Sky Biochar offers a high-quality Brix testing kit at a reasonable price, with everything you need to test your plants.
When blending inoculated biochar into your new or existing soil, we recommend 4 parts soil (containing 60% base soil blend, 20% premium compost, 20% premium worm castings, 10 lbs.). Blue Sky Complex Rock Dust blend per cubic yard with 1 part inoculated biochar.
