Found this for cheap at Wally World. Bragg liquid aminos.
A "soy sauce alternative"
The only ingredient is Vegetable protein from Non-gmo soybeans.

Contains 16 amino acids.

Would this be a cheap way to add aminos?

I'm going to try to research these amino acids tonight when I get home to see if they are compatible with plants.

320 mg of sodium per 5ml!
That's high no?

I've wondered about this.

Maybe dilute it by 20X to 50X in clean water to reduce the amount of sodium per dose.

Try a little diluted on one or two plants before exposing all your plants to it.

I've used it in the past, diluted it mixed 1/4 tsp per gall water. Didn't hurt plants at all, but to be honest i wasn't sure it was doing anything.

Youd be much better off grabbing some Soy Protein Hydrolysate. Its pretty affordable about $10 for a pound and has a better amino acid profile

I ferment soy beans, works great. Canned factory processed products bother me though. It's been pickled salted or something if it's in can.

@ Quatman What are the ratios you use? Any supporting literature?

There was a thread I read before I started giving my plants a teaspoon to a gallon of water just a few times throughout the grow. I'll see if I can find it...

Here it is.
