Summary

Nik from Rooted Leaf Nutrients (CODE GROWCAST for 20% OFF) returns to the show for the nutrient deep dive series. This time we are moving away from fertilizer elements and taking a look at humic and fulvic acids. Nik picks up with his analogy about your plant acting as a pump- and he adds the carbon piece- meaning your plant is taking carbon from CO2 in the ambient air, but it's also sequestering carbon into the soil with the help of microbes in the forms of humic and fulvic acids. Nik talks about what this means from a grower perspective, and which situations call for fulvic acids versus humic acids. This also leads to a conversation about water dynamics, teasing the next episode all about H20 and how it acts.

2:12.9

jordan i'm doing pretty well man how are you doing excellent loving these nutrient deep dive series, as always. It's some of the fans' favorite. And today we're doing something a little bit different with humic acids, really, really excited to dive into today's episode on humics and fulvics and organic acids and all this fun stuff. Before we get into it, though, Nick, what have you been up to, man? It's been a minute since we've spoke. Are you just working on rooted leaf? Have you been traveling around? What's going on? Yeah, I mean, things are staying pretty busy over here. You know, as we kind of enter the fall time, we're staying fortunate enough to stay really busy here at the plant. So I'm doing a lot of manufacturing. We've got some cool stuff in the works. We're going to go out to Massachusetts for the Harvest Cup that's coming up on, I think it's the weekend of November 9th and 10th. It's that Saturday and Sunday. So if anybody on the East Coast is listening to this right now, and it is not after those dates, please come check us out. We're going to be at booth 601. You can't miss it. Right when you walk in, we're the very first booth on the right hand side. So come up to the booth, say hi. We're going to have some Growcast RLA T-shirts.

3:35.7

really deep dives. You know, we did the nutritional elements first. Now we're kind of shifting gears a little bit and looking at some other types of nutrients, which I'm super excited about. Yes. I mean, like I said, this is some of the fans most requested series. Really, really they like this stuff, Nick. And you make a good product, man.
