Fulvic Acid

Whats your favorite brand and why? I notice a wide range of percentages on various nutrient companies.

Been using mad farms N.U.T.S... Some times its clear sometimes its transparent brown.

I was wondering what color fulvic acid usually is? I once heard fulvic acid was only clear.

i use fulvex from Optimum Hydroponix love it, but i believe they dont market this product anymore due to laws in California I believe. pretty sure your not allowed to call it fulvic acid on account of the process of making it is not environmentally friendly?!? (dont Quote) but i foliar feed it if neccesary and its usually not so it lasts a long time.

Hey Analog my favorite is Fulvic Acid is Diamond Nectar by General Hydrponic. I like it because I see result hours after spraying my plants with it

Fulvic acid has a goldish color thats why some company label their Fulvic Acid products GOLD and their Humic Acid BLACK.

Transparent brown its ok but clear like water I don't know.

Cali Ag Dept does not recognize fulvic acid as a unique compound and considered in the family of humic acids for starters. This is in part because there is currently no method that can differentiate between fulvic and humic acid. Secondly there is no approved AOAC (Association Of Analytical Communities) method for analyzing fulvic acid so no label claims can be made for its content. That will change soon though as a group is in the process of having a method approved/accepted. Environmentally friendly/unfriendly has nothing to do with it.

A quality fulvic acid product should be gold in color and not brown. BioAg's is the best. Brown indicates humic acid which does not mean there is no fulvic acid present.

Typical acid/alkaline extraction methods denature humic/fulvic acids. As others have said BioAg uses a cold bacterial fermentation for their Ful-Power Humic product. They call it a humic product because of labeling laws yet it is a fulvic product.

Another for bioag ful-power :biggrin: Their ful-humix is awesome also, if you recycle your media ;).
Just to add a little something far as I remember BioAg does not use the standard acid/alkaline extraction method for their humic product so not denatured.

If you want to drink fulvic acid get BioAg's Wu Jin San. They use a fine filtration process to remove any bacteria. .22 microns is the accepted level for bacterial filtration while .4 microns is acceptable by many. A decent amount of research indicating the health benefits of fulvic acid. Good for your plants and good for you :biggrin:. You could drink their Ful-Power Humic yet not recommended by Dr. Faust. It's a heck of a lot cheaper though. Lots of humic acid products for human nutrition yet I wouldn't bother.

Dr. Faust will tell you the fulvic acid content is in the PPM range so no will probably not register on your meter at the recommended application rate. Might be better as a foliar for you.
