fulvic acid question

So I was reading a description of the grandma enggy's fulvic acid product from advanced nutrients and in the discription they claim that fulvic acid promotes the permeability of cell membranes in plants. When I read that it sounded to me like an amazing accomplishment for a plant nutrient, I mean if the cell membranes are more easily breeched than all of the necessary stuff would be more absorbable by the plant...right?

I'm not a very experienced plant grower of any type and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this product and could tell me about their personal usage of it and how it worked out..

hope everyones' having a good night


;D ;P ;)

Yes, the fulvic acid combines with inorganic molecules like copper to create a chelated copper with I think has oxygen. which makes it organic I believe, humic I think has the ability or molecules to form amino acids; or maybe even fulvic does. Whatever the case I reccomend it. I use it instead of ph down to balance ph, since it only need like 25ppm in my case.

The thing is cells can absorb nutes through membranes. Membranes are made of lipids and have protein gates. The gates are made of protein and amino acids. There is literally billions on protein shapes possibilities and types, each one designed for a specific molecule. Cells makes these so only certain organic molecules can be absorbed into them through channels and plasmodesmata, as well as the xylem and phloem which I think contain lots of proteins transporting nutes. Cells can absorb certains thing directly through the membrane; others need proteins.

The folding programs like on playstation 3 are trying to compute or predict or build 3d models of proteins. They're trying to predict what protein maybe needed to transport a specific function (molecule) from its DNA. physorg[DOT]COM/news/2011-12-evolution-reveals-link-dna-protein.html

Cheap joe has it. Also, it can be useful as a foliar spray to make a quicker than flushingly possible flush. Spray it on the last week and it will suck up the remaining nutes quicker.

Also, you can buy straight amino acids... X nutrients amino blast is working well for me... One week into flower and the stems are feeling resinous as I train them. Much more compact branch tips too, thicker stems...im lovin it
