A Guide to Using Humic Acid For Your Indoor Gardening
Humic acids are a family of compounds that create the dark, rich soil you see in the most fertile, pristine areas where trees and plants are growing in their natural habitat.
To give you the full benefits of humic acid in your indoor growing, you first have to find a high quality source of humic acid. This is challenging, because the highest concentrations of humic acids are found in a premium geologic material called leonardite. There are various quality levels of leonardite. Most companies that sell humic acid use low quality leonardite or other materials to source the leonardite from.
But you can readily find companies that use the gold standard premium leonardite and then extract a very high percentage and range of superior humic acid from it.
This type of humic acid is called "H-2." When you put this humic acid into your hydroponics nutrients regimen, your plants get many of the same organic pluses they would get if they were growing outdoors in the most fertile places on earth.
For one thing, H-2 forms a protective, strengthening bond with your plants' roots. The result is the roots take in nutrients much better than they normally would. Moreover, the humic acid helps those nutrients travel more quickly and effectively inside the plants cell walls so their cellular metabolism increases.
Humic acids protect plants from stress and drought because humic acids make root zones safer and more able to withold and release nutrients and moisture.
At the same time, humic acids help plants have stronger cells so drought, heat and other stress are less able to damage your plants.
Many hydroponics gardeners use H-2 to pre-treat rockwool and other sterile root zone media before they start using it, because humic acids are known to buffer and stabilize materials so they are more in the correct pH range your plants need.
And be sure to use lots of humic acid during peak flowering phase so your plants are better able to resist stress while creating bigger flowers and bigger yields from your indoor gardening.
