Liquid humic acid instead of powder? Azomite=clay?
Hi, I'm growing in somekind of supersoil right now , it is composed of 3 part sea compost, 3 part peat moss/lime stone/perlite pro mix mix, 1 part construction sand ,1 part perlite, 1 cup of bone meal , 1 tea spoon of Mycorrhiza(I germinate my seeds in gifi covered with Mycorrhiza), 2 tea spoon of guano(12-2-2). This is all in 1 gallon pot, I also have some sea weed .3-.3-4 and some fish emulsion 2-4-1 that I added once in tea. I will have to repot soon (the roots are starting to come out of the irrigation holes). Since I don't have anymore soil I'm planning on doing the subcool recipe to feel the missing 2 gallons of my 3 gallons pots. I have everything so far except azomite and powdered humic acid. The hydro store near where I live only offer liquid humic acid so I would like to know if it can do the job and if yes ,what would be the quantity needed? Of what I've read azomite is a kind of clay and I have also read that clay and peat moss= death for plants , what do you think? Are they an essential part? Could they mixed up with my peat moss and killed my plants?
I've added some shitty pics, my plants are 30 days old under 2 400w hps, they will veg for another 2 months before going outside

Liquid humic acid was all I could find too, so I mixed 1 tablespoon per gallon of water to wet the super soil. I used 3 gallons per plastic trash can. I've never heard of clay + peat moss = death. There is so little azomite in the recipe, I have a hard time thinking it could do harm.
azomite (A - Z nurtrients) contains a lot of micronutrients but i wouldn't substitute it with clay...in fact I grew my organic grow this winter without it but its great to have to ensure you don't have micronutrient deficiencies ....as far as humic acid...liquid form is more available but you can purchase it in powder form on the web at many organic e-stores.
