Humic Acid?

I tried searching the forums but found no results. Has anyone used it before? Here's what the site says about it:

HUMIC ACID 12%
Humic fractions biologically stimulate plants, increasing cell division and nutrient uptake resulting in stronger, healthier plants and higher yields. Soil applications of Humic Acid are used to release nutrients that are in the soil but not readily available to the plant. It is also used to reclaim soils damaged by chemicals.
 
hey man. I just gave my plants a humate plant food thats 20-20-20 and my plants absolutely loved it! they were a little stressed from underwatering and the high temps so I just drenched my soil with the chelated fertilizer and they bounced back strong. a friend got me going on humics when he showed me some of the buds he was growing indoor using it. I don't know all the specifics, but they say it makes your plants stronger and more resiliant to nute burns. hope this helps
 
thanks, i just wanted to make sure someone's used it on mj plants before purchasing some lol. sounds like good stuff!
 
Humic acid works by providing a medium that is nutritious but also protective of the microbes in your soil. It's like having edible clothing. It's a whole stew of ancient organic compounds. Microbes grow in media and soil provides the structural components of that medium but the organic juices in the soil are what provide the microbes with a place to grow and reproduce and move around. Humic/fulvic materials happen to be on of the best and most nutritious soil coatings for the life in your soil. Keep in mind the humic/fulvic is a suite of different awesome complex organic compounds that pretty much kick ass for your plants.

Algae emulsion is similarly complex and provides protection and nutrition in a similar way. You get a similar effect from adding fish emulsion and quality molasses to the soil also.

It helps to add all these items to your soil in advance of planting and let the soil microbes process everything into a balanced symphony. Dumping it into your soil after planting works but not nearly as well as getting it in there 30 days in advance. In organic soil mixing its called the incubation period.

And if your dumping chemical ferts into your soil the humic acid helps to protect the microbes from dying in all that chemical bs.
