Description
A carrier molecule that walks minerals through the root wall
Terra Aquatica Fulvic is a concentrated fulvic acid extract used to improve how much of a feed actually gets used. Fulvic molecules are small enough to cross cell membranes, and they chelate mineral ions and carry them with them, which is why a fulvic addition often does more for growth than raising EC does.
Key Benefits
- Improves uptake at the same EC - more of the feed you already pay for reaches the plant
- Naturally chelating - holds iron and other metals in a form roots can take up across a wider pH range
- Buffers the root zone - softens the swings that follow a heavy feed or a pH correction
- Useful in every medium - works in coco, hydroponics and soil, and through a foliar spray
- Pairs with humic - fulvic works inside the plant, humic works on the medium - the two are complementary, not alternatives
Feeding harder and seeing nothing for it
When growth stalls the instinct is to raise EC, which more often ends in poor nutrient uptake, salt build-up and slow growth. Fulvic attacks the problem from the other side by making the existing solution more available, so the plant takes up more without the reservoir getting stronger.
How to Use
- Hydroponics and coco: 2 ml per litre from first roots through to preflowering; not used in flowering
- Soil: Terra Aquatica's soil and organic charts list Humic in place of Fulvic - use Humic on soil
- Foliar: 3 ml per litre, lights off, on young growth
- Propagation: a half rate steadies cuttings and reduces transplant shock
- Note: fulvic is an aid to uptake, not a feed - more is not better
