Heavy Metals prevalence in plant material/extracts?

On the growing side, it can happen for a couple reasons.

First is foliar application with an organic amendment like azomite that is above FDA limits for consumption of lead, arsenic, etc. It is in a soluble metal salt that can bioaccumulate.

The second is soil that is high in heavy metals. I did a soil test on a farm that was high in Aluminum and guess what- their flower failed for heavy metals too. This can be remediated with a calcium source like gypsum which neutralizes the cation exchange of aluminum and other heavy metals. The second is a high fulvic additive (shameless plug for my company) Both of these don’t allow heavy metals to bioaccumulate.
