    Default Humic acid. Worth it?

    Morning all, I'm about to start my second grow in a couple of days. The last one was a bit of a mess as I started with ecothrive, it wasn't the best and wound up moving to nutes and everything went wrong.
    This time I'm determined to get it right. I'm going outdoors, large raised bed, built a soil with castings, compost, and vermiculite to hold water and the usual amendments (seaweed, crabshell, rock dust, frass etc).

    My question is this; will humic acid make a difference to my grow? I've done some reading and it seems a good product.
    I've had a look online and people are charging what seems like silly money (£15/100 grams) but I've found a seller on eBay charging about £40 a kg who looks legit.
    So, has anybody used it? Is it worth the money?
    I want to get this grow right after my last erm learning experience. Please weigh in and tell me what you know.
    Thanks in advance!

    My beans are just starting to show roots so I've a day or two before I put them in to decide whether it's worth spending any more money. Been expensive so far.

    It's something I've never really heard about anyone using?

    I believe it is generally added into most nutrient lines somewhere or they will have a separate bottle for you to buy that contains it.

    Biobizz top max has humic and fulvic acid off the top of my head

    Its a natural PGR

    NO SELL, NO SMELL, NO TELL!!!

    Cheers mate. Will it make much difference over and above normal nutrients or is it just marketing hype?

    Humic acids are fully decomposed remains of organic life. They exist naturally as part of nature's life cycle in soils, oceans, and streams.

    You can always add more it wont hurt anything as it takes so long to breakdown and form the bonds it needs naturally its good to amend soil with to give it a hand

    That much I do not know, been a minute since I used soil. Someone like Redisiel would be better answering that as he knows his stuff on soil


    EDIT - POOF and he appears as I was typing this
