What’s the difference between fulvic and humic?
Fulvic and Humic are two words that are often used interchangeably. Equally important, but they serve very different purposes. Let’s take a look at these two vital molecules that are at the root of healthy, thriving soil and plants.
What’s the difference between fulvic and humic?
Fulvic
Fulvic has the miraculous ability to bind to minerals from the earth. Fulvic is the smaller molecule, lighter in color, with a strong electrical charge. It is the carrier of the nutrients, and plants can absorb the Fulvic along with the minerals at the cellular level. Fulvic is referred to as the natural growth hormone of plants, due to its ability to stimulate dormant plants and activate growth.
Check out Fulvic’s many benefits:
Contains over 75+ trace minerals and with its smaller molecular size, it has the ability to enter the plant through the root, stem, leaves, and blooms.
Nourishes the plant with minerals, which enhances the bioavailability of vitamins, and digestive fiber, creating a holistic Superfood.
Provides energy to the plant, which assists in higher brix counts (measurement of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and other solid content in plant juice), resulting in better nutrition, more flavor, and a longer shelf life.
Can improve the germination rate of newly planted seeds.
Promotes brighter, more abundant flower blooms.
Humic
Humic is the larger molecule and its magic is how it performs in the soil. Humic is darker in color, and acts a dilator, which increases the cell permeability of plants. This process helps the plants absorb the nutrients. Humic also has the ability to detoxify the soil, and provide an environment for beneficial microorganisms to thrive.
Check out Humic’s many benefits:
Stimulates deeper plant root growth to create healthier plants with the ability to resist drought, disease, and pests.
Ability to increase the number of bud nodes, resulting in higher production
Naturally aerates your organic soil, which provides plants with the needed oxygen to properly grow.
Improves the water retention rate of the soil, which can reduce the frequency and duration of required watering.
Helps transport other organic plant food agents, which can result in having to use less of the product.
Even though Fulvic and Humic have different purposes in how they function in the soil and help plants thrive….nature intended for them to work together, in a full-spectrum holistic way.
