Dont trip. I just learned some new things about silica myself last week and I been using it for 5 years.
But to answer your question yes it is the same. It just needs to be mixed in this order. RO water - ph up to 11.3+ then add silica, then you can adjust to correct ph you need. I dont want to muddy up this post but check out this thread Let’s talk silica
. Go to like the last 20 post and it will answer everything you need. Daniel, Ralf and many others put a school session together for everyone.
So we’ve got market reports coming in. People are reporting record yields with greenhouse and outdoors from using amino and organic acids in AGT-50. Ha cha cha.
The biggest way people used AGT-50 this year was to reduce their fertilizer input bill, namely ammonium (NH4+), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe), which fulvic acid is excellent at chelating. It’s nature’s Cal-Mag.
A buddy was trimming at my house, so the entire neighborhood was LOUD. We finished up for the day and he stopped at the gas station to get a drink. The person behind the counter thought he literally had pounds on him from the smell and wouldn’t serve him.
He thought it was funny, so the next time I had him over, he brought me this for my door step:
Natural fulvic acid is a very complex chemical with millions of years of organic matter contributing to its function. Based on the source of the organic matter, it could contribute different beneficial organic acids (from plant matter) and amino acids (from animal matter) or unbound (free) fulvic acid if allowed to break down completely.
It chelates (binds) to positively charged (cationic) elements like calcium, magnesium, at least 6 forms of iron (sulfate, humate, fulvate, iron III, Iron IV, attached to amino/organic acids) potassium and trace elements. It makes these elements in particular available to plants and animals at a wider pH range to contribute to the best health possible.
Hahaha. I think we are going to make a poster of that!
We also have refined and third-party tested AGT-L50, our trace minerals for livestock. We’ll keep F4200 posted when it is ready to support the best health for your farm.
Love using agt on the chickens (noticeable difference imo), going to use it with my pigs next summer too. Really plan to use it on anything with a sealed waterer. I haven’t figured out the best way to give it to the goats or dogs (on a regular basis), since they just drink out of large troughs and feeding it at that scale would become cost prohibitive and wasteful since they don’t drink all the water In the trough before we swap it out (or top off).
I suppose I could dose a treat or something for the dogs. But with goats that would just be too much work lol
I came into this job because of my background in cannabis. Someone asked me if I thanked a farmer today. I came from cabbage and dairy farming families. Working with all types of farmers is the absolute best part of my job.
Without farmers, we wouldn’t have food, clothing, building supplies or medicine. Thank you farmers!
We are still plugging away on cannabis, which is where my heart has been for 25 years now. AGT-50 is the perfect OMRI calcium/magnesium/iron supplement for your cannabis operation.
We are reducing agrochemical applications rates, leading the agritecture, urban farming and specialty produce markets. We launched our livestock product for balanced nutrition through chelated trace mineral supplementation.
Future fam- I miss you guys. Life gets in the way sometimes! We are working on a top secret new product that has been requested for years with the fulvic, amino/organic acids and chelated trace elements you love. Stay tuned!
Someone asked us why AGT-50 Fulvic Mineral Complex is different that any other product on the market. I’d be happy to tell you.
We use LAMAR testing, not outdated V&B that doesn’t account for the inactive ash content on most humate product labels
We use pure water instead of chemical hydroxide extraction. This results in dramatically lower heavy metal content
We own our mine in the SE United States. Our minerals are ethically harvested unlike blast and strip mining like Leonardite. The byproducts can be returned to the mine and only has a beneficial ecological impact.
We sell fulvic acid products for immediate benefit to plants, pets and people. Humic acid takes time to break down to be beneficial.
We have 15 amino acids in AGT-50 for more efficient nitrogen usage, when traditional agriculture is clamping down on nitrogen usage.
There are least 7 types of available iron (sulfate, fulvate, humate, iron III, iron IV, attached to amino and organic acids)
We are the only company to qualify and quantify beneficial organic acids like gallic, caffeic, fumaric, shikimic, cinnamic. ferulic, benzoic, protocatechuic, phenylacetic, acetic, and succinic acid
