humic acid in hydro?

The general role for humic acid is to create chelated complexes that the plant can uptake various metals which act as micro nutrients. The hydroponic micronutrients are usually formulated with a variety of chelated metal compounds already. Read your nutrient label.

The "hydroponic" humic acid I have used as well. It tends to stick inside the DWC buckets and becomes a mess fast. Not worth messing with IMO

gotta agree with br26. plus it stains your roots so much that you can't tell if your developing a root problem. fulvic acid works muck better. it chelates minerals just as well as. mbferts has a good deal on fulvic acid powder
