I've decided to move away from liquid karma, and since I'm almost out, I ordered some LC 10+7 and sm 90.

I use and like lq, but at $27 per quart I decided to move on.

I could use some tips on how to use the new products in teas and in my soil mix, thanks......scrappy

Both of those products are designed to be used by mixing with water, either as a foliar or soil drench, they're not designed to be used in a soil mix (though I do put some of the SP-85 in my mix, in small amounts).

Oh, and the SP-90 can be added to the tea, immediately before applying (in small amounts), and the LC-10+7 should be a separate application from the tea.

Personally, I prefer to do a separate application of the seaweed/humic acids from the tea, a couple of days apart.

How about the rates to use of each? and before I forget, i use lq for starting clones, would either the lc or sm 90 work for seedlings/clones? scrappy

i tested the lc10 + 7 and the sp90 and 80. all are good products. the lc10+7 does great things to your soil, and most noticeably to me an increased root system.

id go with the LC10+7 first, its good stuff. use in very low dilutions, higher concentrations are a waste of product and $$$.

You'll receive rates with your products, I'd go with lower rates than listed (maybe 1/2 strength) to start if you're applying on a weekly basis.

Just FYI, it's 1/8 tsp./gal of water for the SP-90

and 1 oz/gal to 1 oz/10 gal on the LC-10+7

Botanicare Humega works wonder's for me, pure Humic Acid derived from Leonardite... Also Floralicious Plus has H.A. in it.. I also add powderized H.A. in my soil mix.

Well I recieved the products last evening. I used the LC-10+7 at 1/2 oz per three gallons of water. I plan on using each product once, every other week, at the recommended amounts. At this rate, this stuff could last me forever. scrappy
