Fulvic Acid - Foliar spray or watering?

I'm growing in organic soil (contains compost, humus, perlite, peat, and a few coco fibers)

My seedling is 10 days old.

When should I start adding me Fulvic Acid/kelp gel mix? should I wait abit untill the cotyledons start to yellow or can I start now?

And most importantly, foliar spray the leaves or add it every so and so watering?


I'm not using any other nutes, trying to keep it simple and work with what i've got.

Back when you built the soil.
You could have added Bio Ag's FUL HUMIX

https://www.bioag.com/products/ful-humix/

This is the best Humic/Fulvic product on the market. They use the best source out there and it has the standing in the organic farming community as the best there is.... Those bottles of liquid Humic's/Fulvic's are weak and poorly sourced....

Fulvic acids are simply acids on the Humic acid chain.

This product is used to water down your soil mix after you have built the soil and are cooking it.

This should be used with any nutrient you water into your soil.... I would NOT use it more then once every 30 days! And at a rate of about 1/4th tsp per gallon of feed, max rate.

Reread your post..

If you added no nutrient source to that soil mix..... Be prepared to need to use a nutrient..

Organic right?

May I suggest AGE OLD organic nutrients?
Easy, simple and use sparingly....

What do you mean?
I have got compost and humus in my soil, I believe they cover me up with N-P-K (still need another source for P)

So are you saying the proper way to add fulvic acid is with watering, and not foliar spray ?

If I get you right, I need to add fulvic acid to my watering once a month, and over time the fulvic acid will make it's effect in the soil? (I plan to re-use the soil)

Compost and Humus will not hold nutrition the whole way out.....You will need to use some form of nutrient supplementation to that soil...

Here is my favorite soil building thread I like to share with Novice soil builders - looking to go organic water only super soils...

This delivers the concept of building nutrient formula's that can deliver differing amounts for differing strain needs. YOU have to see the way they intend by reading between the lines..

I build 4-5 different bloom soils. Each delivers a different nutrient balance for specific strain needs... Available N is the most adjusted.... Some are for heavy feeders and some for light feeders. I make some adjustments on the fly with some strains - when building soils for them....Mg hog strains are another variant.

Your soil will last around 30 days, a bit more maybe. This will be basically true for when you up pot also...
In bloom,,your going to see a need for using a nutrient.....I guarantee you.....


Now then.....I'm not saying anything about how to apply it (Fulvic's)...

I'm telling you the best available Humic/Fulvic product to use.

The how it's used is by the makers direction. It is the best way for that product.

Humic and Fulvic acids do the most for the plant by having them in the bio active soil, doing their job......They do more by reacting with the living bio's in the soil and the plants root activity. Then by being drawn into the plant by foliar application.

Regarding Dry Organic Fret,
I'm in a country where most of the organic gardening products are local, so I cannot know which brand or fert is gonna be good for my soil.
Is there something I need to look for in the bag description? I've seen some 20-20-20 ferts in the nearby store, is that alright?

The rest of the amendments there (aflafa meal, crab meal) I never found in any store in my area, sadly.
