Are there any good plant sources of amino acids that can be used in DWC hydroponics? I've been using Bragg Liquid Aminos (from Coconuts) but they have 2g of sugar per 5ml which could cause microbial issues so I'd like to find an alternative. Maybe looking into hemp protein powder or soy protein.

100% pea protein isolate seems like it might work and it's cheaper than soy isolate.

Kelp extract!

Cheaper then those food additives. And for plants, not humans!

Plants produce there own Aminos in abundance, not convinced a bottle of them would improve my yield when grown near perfect conditions.

Some amino's are up-taken by the plant, when available. I still prefer your take on it though. Supply the plant with what it needs to do the job....The job gets done...

It's still kelp extract that gives more for less.

The never ending sale of bottles of high priced "extra's" you simply don't need to get the best results.....
Less is more.

I have a bottle of seaweed extract from a local producer that I forgot about and forgot about the amino acids that are apart of it. I'll probably try that out thanks.
