Last grow I used all homemade ferts which was a majorly stressful chore...especially when the banana tea I was using for potassium nearly killed my plant overnight. So this time I bought something to use in flowering when the plant is hungriest. It's water soluble Potassium Humate, which has an NPK ratio of 0.4-0-17. I know humic acid has unique benefits for cannabis, but would this stuff work as a bloom fertilizer/potassium source by itself?
It contains the following:
Typical Analysis shows 9.0 pH, 16% Soluble potash, 8% Sulfur, 48% Carbon, 28% Oxygen, 4% Hydrogen, and 80% Organic acids (55 Humic / 25 Fulvic).
That pH looks pretty high too. Is it safe to apply this stuff with plain water or will it wreck the pH of the soil? Sorry if this is a dumb newb question. I don't know squat about chemistry or the elements. Just wanna make sure I don't botch my grow since it's the only seed I have!
Other info about my grow:
- Indoors
- CFL bulbs
- Soil (Black Gold Organic brand)
- Organic/natural fertilizers only (teas, etc).
