what has liquid karma done for you

[supermanlives]

just wondering if liquid karma made a posative difference for you and what it was. . and the ferts you use with it . the reason i ask is because on my second run with it and not seeing any benefits. i am using it with pbp,ej, and piece of mind dry ferts in soil this time.

 

[GOT DANK]

i love this shit. it a must for me

 

[supermanlives]

now tell me why? at 29$ for 32 oz i would hope there is a reason

If you already have sufficient levels of magnesium and sulphur, there's not much it can do for you. Save your money!

 

[gregor_mendel]

After my post, I read the label on American Agritech's website.
Apparently, it no longer contains magnesium sulphate.

My apologies for the bad information.

It is derived for seaweed extract and contains 0.5% humic acid and 0.01% yucca extract.

I still say save your money.

I never noticed any benefit... I posted a similar thread in the past and had the same response from people then too.

 

[Hammerhead]

I use it all the time as well. I also use it in veg as a Foliar feed. I have used it for many years. There's a lot of products that you could save money on by not using this or that. After so many years just harvesting dank buds I keep using it. Kinda like those that use 2$ Molasses's and those that use 25$Sweet or bud candy or 80$ Boost. It's not like you will ever know what nutient or addative made the buds better. I have used so many diferant products and dont see any benefit from PBP to Canna bio.

LIQUID KARMA ™
Bio-catalyst Plant Stimulant
Formulated by a PH.D.Plant Physiologist

The introduction of LIQUID KARMA ™ represents a major and significant breakthrough in plant nutrition. This is because LIQUID KARMA ™ contains a full complement of metabolically active organic compounds not found in regular plant foods or supplements. These unique compounds are absorbed immediately and act as regulatory signals, activators or catalysts to produce synchronized and accelerated growth under all conditions. LIQUID KARMA ™ functions as a growth engine because its high metabolic activity produces a large amount of energy which is immediately transformed to growth.

Benefits of Using LIQUID KARMA ™
Extensive research and field trials indicate that LIQUID KARMA ™ produces beneficial results during every phase of plant growth. Starting with seed germination and following through to vegetative growth, budding and flowering, the continued use of LIQUID KARMA ™ ensures optimal plant growth at every stage.


Application Rates
Seed Germination 5 ml/gallon
Vegetative Growth 10-15 ml gallon
Flowering 10-15 ml gallon
Transplanting 15 ml gallon
Rooting 15-20 ml gallon

Biochemical Composition
LIQUID KARMA ™ contains seven major groups of nutrients based on their specific effects on plant growth and development:

A. Fermented Compost Solution – prepared by exhaustive bacterial and enzymatic fermentation of fish meal, composted seabird guano, spirulina, sea kelp, and soybean meal. In order to enhance the fermentation process and obtain a product which contains the highest possible biological activity, the fermentation is carried out in different stages in the presence of humic acid, citric acid, raw sugar cane, complex carbohydrates, glucose, fructose and over 72 trace elements. Fermented compost solution prepared in this manner is used by an increasing number of organic gardeners to obtain luxuriant vegetative growth, huge flowers and flavorful fruits and vegetables.

B. Amino Acids – LIQUID KARMA ™ contains essential amino acids which are derived from casein hydrolysate and soybean protein hydrolysate. Amino acids are important plant nutrients because they serve as building blocks for structural proteins and enzymes. In addition, amino acids are also involved in the activation of transfer ribonucleic acids (t-RNAs) and DNA synthesis.The following amino acids are present in LIQUID KARMA ™:glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, cysteine, cystine, methionine, proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan.

C. Vitamins – All of the vitamins used in this formulation are extremely beneficial for plant growth because they function as co-factors for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and the biosynthesis of macromolecules. LIQUID KARMA™ contains significant amounts of riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine and all of the other B-complex vitamins obtained from fermented yeast extracts.

D. Plant Extracts – LIQUID KARMA™ also contains aqueous and ethanolic extracts of etiolated wheat seedlings and Zea mays. These extracts contain high levels of the plant hormones known as auxins and cytokinins. For successful plant micropropagation (tissue culture), the crucial requirements for an auxin and cytokinin are well documented in botanical literature.

E. Humic Acid – In addition to the ingredients indicated above, LIQUID KARMA™ contains optimal levels of humic acid and fulvic acid derived from leonardite. These substances are known to stimulate the growth of roots, shoots and flow-ers, by maintaining the proper osmotic concentration in cells.

F. Seaweed Extract – LIQUID KARMA ™ also contains a high proportion of seaweed extract obtained from North Atlantic Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum). Kelp extract contains metabolically active carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, minerals such as cobalt, strontium and iodine, and growth substances that are known to be beneficial for plant growth.

G. Carbohydrates – Carbohydrates are included in LIQUID KARMA ™ because they are the direct or indirect precursors of virtually every metabolite. Their presence provides the added burst of energy required to assimilate and metabolize all of the other wonderful ingredients present in LIQUID KARMA ™.

Benefits of Using LIQUID KARMA ™
Extensive research and field trials indicate that LIQUID KARMA ™ produces beneficial results during every phase of plant growth. Starting with seed germination and following through to vegetative growth, budding and flowering, the continued use of LIQUID KARMA ™ ensures optimal plant growth at every stage. In addition, because of the presence of high concentrations of B-complex vitamins and plant hormones in LIQUID KARMA ™, the product has been shown to be very effective in protecting plants from transplant shock, and in promoting the rooting of cuttings. The seven nutrient groups used in the formation of LIQUID KARMA ™ act synergistically to produce optimal plant growth.

I used to use it but stopped after I did a head to head w/a clone. One got LK w/the usual feed and one just got the usual feed. No discernible difference but I was feeding EWC, molasses, guanos, and kelp so I don't think they missed the LK much. Felt like overkill.

I've tried floralicious plus too which if I had to choose would get my money over LK, it lasts longer and has a higher humic content. But that said, I haven't done a with & without floralicious so can't say how much it really helps.

 

[desertsquirrel]

Floralicious plus is also a cytokinin based bio stimulant with humic/fulvic and beneficial bacillus. It is about 100 times more concentrated then liquid karma.

Great alternative to ANs watered down garbage.

 

[supermanlives]

thanks guys. might try floralicious next

 

[ambertrich]

Used to use LK, but as others have said, did not see any real advantage.

I have also gone to Floralicious Plus (mostly as a source of humics) with KISS. An 8oz bottle lasts forever.

Additives are like weight loss products on TV, I have found lots of hype and little substance.

YMMV

 

[cody2white]

What about pure blend pro? I was going to add that to my maxibloom every other week. Saw crazy composter doing that and looks like a fantastic idea

 

[Hammerhead]

There is a thread about PBP. I use it nothing but good results.

 

[habeeb]

I know when talking about floralicious plus..

william texier, over at GHE, has said, if he could use one "booster" or "additive" it would be fulvic..

 

[Dudesome]

is floralicious plus organic? (is it omri listed?)

 

[Chronic Future]

I got rid of LK and just use floralicious plus the Fp works it will up the smell and at a tsp to 5 gallons it lasts forever also has a 5 yr shelf life 1

 

[Grass Lands]

I use it only when cloning...15mil per gal of tap water...soak the RR plugs and away we go..

 

[Kushed_]

I use the pro grow/bloom for soil and liquid karma. I use these and do not see deficienties. What I do see are healthy, happy plants. I have been using these, and other products for years. I use the LK about every 2 weeks.

 

[Tyson53]

Hum-bolt liquid humic is just like Karma...I use this in teas and foliar sprays...and a 1 time soil drench...I use it in the greenhouse and also on the bed flowers..seems to work..great flowers and healthy plants

is floralicious plus organic? (is it omri listed?)

it is not OMRI listed (no GH product is except azamax).
it is supposed to be organic... mostly of kelp/humic i believe.

i always smell all nutrients before i buy them at the hydro store. all kelp/humic based nutrients smell similar. it seems they are all competing products that try to serve the same purpose.

the good thing is that you can use it as a powerful PH down.
