kp I think all the parts of Liquid Karma can be broken down and acquired individually if you want to try that route. I love the stuff myself.(well, t\for my plants...) I also use the botanicare sweet for carbs but want to try the molassas as kp suggested. I use all the botanicare stuff and love them but sort of feel like 'branching out" (ouch) and try some new stuff....
my main staple is green light's super bloom, i've been supplementing with plain ol sugar, and that's helped, but i'm still not where i want to be.
i'm flowering 5 blueberry's (monsters) under 1 hps400 and 16 cfl's.
i've 2 mh400 ballasts and bulbs, but i want to get a couple of ignitors to set up 2 more hps systems. right now i'm using the mh's as a flower/breeding experiment on two male and two female clones.
so... molasses, what else (individually) is in karma? what hormones? is cytokinin one of them?
wh, where can i find botanicare?
hey chicago? please email [email protected]
Oh god, now I have to think. I went to look on the bottle but it's locked up in the 12/12 room holding down a plant branch. You know who may know would be Blue Bear...he always seem to have an good idea or answer up his sleeve. I will check my bottle tomorrow and see what's in it.....also will look around for their website...
thanx babe, i'm most interested in the carb profile and a list of hormones. did a search, but i couldn't find a breakdown...
just go get some Bcuzz youl be very happy you did
hard for me to do, sweetie; they don't sell it around here.
Kp you're ahead of me as usual. The website name listed is www.americanagritech.com. Unfortunately there is no real breakdown of ingredients listed on the bottle...only the amounts of nitrogen etc. Says it is made from kelp seaweed extract and fermented yeast extract which isn"t really helpful I know because it doesn't list amounts. I see nothing listed about hormones but the bottle just doesn't have a lot of info period.
I did just hop on their website and also found no useful information on it--just the same sales pitch. If you'd like I will "contact them" and ask for a breakdown....like to know myself now....don't know if they'll give me one..never hurts to ask.
A little more to LK than molasses , but never knock molasses either, they are just two different tools.
Have fun ladies and gents.
Liquid Karmaâ?¢ contains seven (7) major groups of nutrients based on their specific effects on plant growth and development:
A. Fermented Compost Solution â?? prepared by exhaustive bacterial and enzymatic fermentation of fish meal, composted seabird guano, spirulina, sea kelp,
and soybean meal. In order to enhance the fermentation process and obtain a product which contains the highest possible biological activity, the fermentation
is carried out in different stages in the presence of humic acid, citric acid, raw sugar cane, complex carbohydrates, glucose fructose and over 72 trace
elements. Fermented Compost Solution prepared in this manner is used by an increasing number of organic gardeners to obtain luxuriant vegetative growth,
huge flowers and flavorful fruits and vegetables.
B. Amino Acids â?? Liquid Karmaâ?¢ contains essential amino acids which are derived from casein hydrolysate and soybean protein hydrolysate. Amino acids are
important plant nutrients because they serve as building blocks for structural proteins and enzymes. In addition, amino acids are also involved in the
activation of transfer ribonucleic acids (t-RNAs) and DNA synthesis. The following amino acids are present in Liquid Karmaâ?¢: glycine, alanine, valine,
leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, cysteine, cystine, methionine,
proline, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.
C. Vitamins â?? All of the vitamins used in this formulation are extremely beneficial for plant growth because they function as co-factors for enzymes involved
in carbohydrate metabolism and the biosynthesis of macromolecules. Liquid Karmaâ?¢ contains significant amounts of riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine, and
all of the other B-complex vitamins obtained from fermented
yeast extracts.
D. Plant Extracts â?? Liquid Karmaâ?¢ also contains aqueous and ethanolic extracts of etiolated wheat seedlings and Zea mays. These extracts contain high levels
of the plant hormones known as auxins and cytokinins. For successful plant micropropagation (tissue culture), the crucial requirements for an auxin and
cytokinin are well documented in botanical literature.
E. Humic Acid â?? In addition to the ingredients indicated above, Liquid Karmaâ?¢ contains optimal levels of humic acid and fulvic acid derived from leonardite.
These substances are known to stimulate the growth of roots, shoots and flowers, by maintaining the proper osmotic concentration in cells.
F. Seaweed Extract â?? Liquid Karmaâ?¢ also contains a high proportion of seaweed extract obtained from North Atlantic Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum).
Kelp extract contains metabolically active carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, minerals such as cobalt, strontium and iodine, and growth substances that
are known to be beneficial for plant growth.
G. Carbohydrates â?? Carbohydrates are included in Liquid Karmaâ?¢ because they are the direct or indirect precursors of virtually every metabolite. Their precense
provides the added burst of energy required to assimilate and metabolize all of the other wonderful ingredients present in Liquid Karmaâ?¢.
The seven nutrient groups used in the formation of Liquid Karmaâ?¢ act synergistically to produce optimal plant growth.
Benefits of Using Liquid Karmaâ?¢
Extensive research and field trials indicate that Liquid Karmaâ?¢ produces beneficial results during every phase of plant growth. Starting with seed germination
and following through to vegetative growth, budding and flowering, the continued use of Liquid Karmaâ?¢ ensures optimal plant growth at every stage. In addition,
because of the presence of high concentrations of B-complex vitamins and plant hormones in Liquid Karmaâ?¢, the product has been shown to be very effective
in protecting plants from transplant shock, and in promoting the rooting of cuttings.
Ingredients

pyridoxine, ascorbic acid, and a full array of other water soluble vitamins. Carbohydrates; sucrose, fructose, cellulose. Phytohormones; Indole-3-acetic
acid, trans-6-(4-hydroxy-3-methybut-2-enyl) amino purine. hydrolysate, soy protein hydrolysate, fermented yeast extract, aqueous extracts of etiolated
wheat coleoptiles, and Zea mays, aloe vera extract, yucca extract, humic acid, fulvic acid, and kelp seaweed extract.
