Don’t care for the back story etc go to paragraph 3 lol
SO after doing some heavy research and listening to multiple growers anecdotal evidence i really want to focus more on what type and how much amino acid Nitrogen i am feeding my ladies in hopes that providing them with these primarily L-Aminos as i understand it will end up freeing up the plant from having to work for them allowing for it to focus their energy on other functions leading to increased growth rates and later, greater cannabinoid production etc etc.
Just share your experience, as far as what im using/trying out, last run i used some Roots Organics Aminos and they really made my plants go ballistic so im sold on the fact that i want to use some sort of amino specific product or concoction so i just picked up a bottle of ** Grower’s Honey Plant Based Amino Acid Plant Growth Fuel ** (maybe someone has experience with it in particular) to run a side by side with the roots organic aminos. I have tried a little bit of DIY style inputs but that run got cut really short and have some knf/jadam style Fish Amino Acid brewing from some whole mackerels (this will be a while until its all fermented) and then also been making some inputs with growth tips/leaves from trimming cooking in solid-state fermentation (also some time left till ready so i can’t report on it yet).
So Yeah … I just wanted to see what other info, opinions, and experiences anyone might have with any other store-bought products or DIY made whether they be plant-based, fish hydrosolates or soy sprout teas/ferments etc Just share whatever the topic of amino acids and which kind you have tried brings to mind!
Ive heard barely works great, also heard of dudes using protein powder as a source of amino acids as well as a sugar source to feed microbial life. Not entirely sure if that works or just makes a mess though…
Well yes, sugars or molasses will feed bacteria but are often way overused causing short blooms of tons of bacteria and then followed by instant collapse. The microbes then are also just eating the sugar and too lazy to actually fulfill the tasks that the plants exudatesare signaling for. Same goes for compost teas, which if any should get like 1/2 a spoon of molasses, or less, in a 5 gal while I have seen people recommend putting in multiple ounces. This is part of the reason I now just do extracts without all the brewing. There’s plenty of life in a good compost already. Sorry off topic but good info if you do, happen to brew, dat magical compost, or worm bin shit stuuu.
Received Kelp4less Amino Acids Friday, today is Sunday and all i can say is WOW about Amino Acids.
Growing organic using KIS dry nute packs in moss/perlite. That Friday dose kicked them in, darker leaves and they are reaching hard for the LED light. And only need a 1/4 teaspoon per gallon every 2 weeks. Should get and post a pic, but drinking coffee and smoking hash at 12:45 am.
I’ve been sourcing alot of my inputs using kelp4less for the better part of 10yrs now. I couldn’t be happier!!! I highly recommend them to everyone I know.
