(Re-Posting Information .Article is not mine.Experience with Aminoacids is ,thought ..:wink:)

Note : Aminoacids will do their miracle more profoundly
in combination with organic fertilisers and a biological active substrate
.

Every growers dream is to produce that perfect crop however often the use of fertilisers is not enough.

The basic component of living cells is Proteins. Proteins are formed by a sequence of Amino Acids. Plants synthesise Amino Acids from the Primary elements, the Carbon and Oxygen obtained from air, Hydrogen from water in the medium, which forms Carbon Hydrates by means of photosynthesis and combining it with the Nitrogen which the plants obtain from the soil/nutrient mix, leading to synthesis of amino acids. An important note is Only L-Amino Acids are part of these Proteins and have metabolic activity.
Theoretically, the number of possible amino acids in nature is infinite. However, for plant nutrition purposes, the relevant amino acids are L-Alfa types in which the R generic radical is substituted by a Hydrogen one
Amino acids are organic substances formed by an asymmetrical carbon atom that is joined to:
-An Amine group “NH2
-A Carboxylic group “COOH
-Two radicals “R and R´ characteristic of each amino acid

About 20 important Amino Acids are involved in the process of each function. Studies have proved that Amino Acids can directly or indirectly influence the physiological activities of the plant. Amino Acids are also supplied to plant by incorporating them into the soil. It helps in improving the micro flora of the soil thereby facilitating the assimilation of nutrients. Foliar Nutrition in the form of Protein Hydrolysate (Known as Amino Acids Liquid) and foliar spray provide ready made building blocks for Protein synthesis.

L and D amino acids
Stereochemistry is important in living organisms because its properties can change depending on the spatial distribution of its atomic components. All amino acids, with the exception of glycine (which does not have asymmetric carbon), can be found in both L and D forms, in function of the spatial disposition of the groups that join asymmetric carbon. This disposition diverts polarised light in one way or another. This optical characteristic is what divides amino acids into L or D. Only L-amino acids form part of the proteins utilised by plants and promote changes in plant metabolic activity.

Total Amino Acids:
All amino acids are found as either free form, peptide or protein form:
-Â Free Amino Acids:Â Free amino acids are individualised in monomer form and not bound to another by peptic unions. Due to their lower molecular weight, plants assimilate this form of amino acids the most quickly and their effects on the metabolic processes of the plant are the most profound. As such, free amino acids are of primary importance in plant nutrition.
-Â Peptides: When two or more amino acids are bound to one another (by peptic union), they form a peptide. The greater the length of the peptide (more amino acids bound together), the more difficult the direct assimilation by plants.
- Proteins: The joining of different chains of polypeptides forms a protein. The structural units of proteins are amino acids joined in a sequence and characteristic order of each type of protein.
Effects of photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is a plant's most metabolically important pathway. Through it, a plant synthesises sugars from carbon dioxide, water and luminous energy. These sugars (carbohydrates) are the source of energy for a plant's other metabolic processes. A low photosynthetic rate caused by stress can decrease a plant's growth.
Glycine and glutamic acid are fundamental metabolites in the formation of vegetable tissue and chlorophyll synthesis. These amino acids raise the concentration of chlorophyll in plants. This increases the absorption of luminous energy, which leads to greater degrees of photosynthesis.


Effect on stomata:
Stomata are cellular structures that control a plant's hydro balance, as well as the absorption of gases and macro and micro nutrients. A stoma's openings are controlled by external factors (light, moisture, temperature and concentration of salts), and by internal factors (amino acid concentration, abscisic acid, etc.).
Stomata close when light and moisture are low, and temperature and salt concentration are high. When stomata close, photosynthesis and transpiration (low macro and micro nutrient absorption) are reduced, and respiration is increased. When this occurs, a plant's metabolic balance is negative. This causes metabolism to decrease and plant growth to stop. L- glutamic acid acts as an osmotic agent for the protective cells cytoplasm, which favors the opening of stomata.


Chelating effect:
Amino acids have a chelating effect for micronutrients. When jointly applied with micro elements, their absorption and transportation inside the plant simplifies. This is caused by chelation and membrane permeability. L-glycine and L-glutamic acid amino acids are known as very effective chelating agents.

Amino acids and phytohormones:
Amino acids are the precursors or activators of phytohormones and growth substances. L-Methionine is a precursor of ethylene and other growth factors such as spermine and spermidine, which are synthesised from 5-adenosyl methionine.
L-tryptophan is a precursor of auxin synthesis. L-tryptophan is used in plants only in its L-form. L-tryptophan is available only if protein hydrolysis used in its extraction / manufacture is carried out by enzymes. When L-tryptophan is produced using most common industrial processes, this important amino acid is destroyed.

Stress Resistance
Stress such as High temperature, Low humidity, Frost, Pest attack, Hailstorm, Floods have a negative effect on plant metabolism with a corresponding reduction in crop quality and quantity. The application of Amino Acids before, during and after the stress conditions supplies the plants with Amino Acids which are directly related to stress physiology and thus has a preventing and recovering effect.

Pollination and fruit formation:
Pollination is the transportation of pollen to the carpel that makes fecundation and fruit formation possible.
L-proline helps pollen fertility. L-lysine, L-methionine, and L-glutamic acid are essential amino acids for pollination. These amino acids increase pollen germination and the length of the pollen tube.

Floral balance in the soil:

Microbial floral balance in an agricultural soil is a basic factor for a good organic matter mineralization, as well as providing sound structure and fertility in the root area. L-methionine is a precursor of growth factors that stabilize cell membranes in microbial flora.

In General:

L-glutamic acid and L-aspartic acid, through transamination, give make way for the rest of the amino acids. L-proline and hydroxiproline act mainly in the plant's hydro balance. They act on a cell's wall by increasing resistance to unfavorable weather conditions. L-alanine, L-valine, and L-leucine increase the quality of fruits. L-histidine assists in the appropriate fruit maturation.

Observations When Applying Amino Acids to Plants:

Trophic effect:
Free amino acids, when quickly metabolized, give birth to biologically active substances. They also invigorate and stimulate vegetation.

Hormonal effect:
Free amino acids stimulate the formation of:
Chlorophyll
Indole-3-Acetic acid
Vitamins
Various enzymatic systems

Trophic + Hormonal effect
Flowering is stimulated
Better fruit setting
Higher precociousness, size and coloration of fruits.
Greater sugar richness
Greater vitamin content in fruits.


Amino acid effect on plants:

L - Glutamic Acid & L - Aspartic Acid, by transamination give rise to the rest of the amino acids.

L - Proline & Hydroxy Proline act mainly on the hydric balance of the plant strengthening the cellular walls in such a way that they increase resistance to unfavourable climatic conditions.

L - Alanine, L - Valine & L - Leucine improve quality of fruits.

L - Histidine helps in proper ripening of fruits.

One of the main ingredients in G.O. Bio Bud is a protein hydrolysate that I think is derived from soy.

Are you running a control plant without amino? Or is this a regularly grown strain for you. I'm very interested in the outcome and subbed for more info.
 
why not cut two clones off the bitch and do a side by side comparison one with bcaa's and one with out. pictures don't really show anything except that it didn't die/ no noticeable negative effects.

Then maybe do the test with photosensitive strains? Testing on autos doesn't really tell anything about the benefits of aminos.

Nope.
But I've already seen plenty of other grows with this particular strain.
Grows with very different variables .
Others with mineral nutes ,others with organics ,others with a 400 W HPS ,others with a 600 W HPS ,
some with LEDs ( even up to 1200 W )....Some even with added CO2 enrichment ...
Others from begginers ,others done from experienced growers.
None ,but none -I mean it -had the amount of buds this one has,at day 37 ...
Let alone the trichome formation ...
So ,having seen those plenty of other -and with so different variables between them -grows with this strain ,
it's enough for me to do a more than decent comparison .
Given also my >15 years experience with the Cannabis plant in general.
I really do not need any clones or other control plants to compare.

What I know is this : even with a pH imbalance ,this amino acid treated plant
has the most bud and trichome formation ,than any other of it's strain I 've seen so far ....
Can't be just luck or a unique phenotype ...
Even if it is so ,the next run is going again to be with the same strain and same amino acid fert.
But anyway ...

If those things are not enough for some ,then maybe they should not bother at all .
Maybe they should just simply think or say that this is another " BS loaded " thread and move further ...
Or better yet ,maybe they should bother to do a single grow using amino acids (with or w/o control plants ),
to discover the truth or lie " hidden behind " by themselves.
That would do the trick ,ain't that so ?
;-)

Cheers.

Calling a lot of BS on that paper and MOST of the conclusions presented about 'amino acids' effects on plant physiology.

We had this discussion 10 years ago. Amino Acids mostly feed bene's is the PROVEN conclusion.

The ag industry isn't really jumping on board because it will lower their production, so our slow degradation of soil continues unabated. Monsanto is still pushing the sterile dirt + roundup as an alternative. Most people by now realize its simply poison.

The answer these guys are looking for are staring them in the face. Mychorrizae and bene's. If you are feeding them aminos and you've got some sympathetic myco spores or benes: boom. I'm very disappointed there is no detailed root structure comparisons. And no accountability in monitoring these 'bene' factors.

Can you imagine them mass spraying cytokinins or BAPs on field crops though? Anyone have any idea how biologically toxic this stuff is? There's no need anyways. Mycos nearly self inoculate within known parameters that aren't hard to establish.

Star dust, if you have no controls, you have nothing reportable. Period. No controls: no science.

Long term myco inoculation into crops, done as a matter of crop preparation, usually by growing a very sympathetic plant and establishing the mycelial network throughout the soil is the ideal. Current limitations however have shown that even low grade phosphorous enrichment will destroy the bene's. -Also, depleted soil will require remediation time between crops. <--That's a big reduction of output. So, they're gonna keep burning that soil.

At least the farmers are well aware of this issue. They do detailed soil composition and rather precise NPK dosing. There's still time and hope.

I wish the solution would be hydroponics. But even a brief cost analysis damns that solution. We simply require a lot of good soil to feed humanity. Spraying amino acid pre-cursors on our food source soils sounds like some plot from Dr. Evil.. Those people MUST recognize this, they traced nitrogen process into 4+ routes in the plant, and it was inactive for considerable periods.

Oh, plants can't take up BAP? Funny, they said the same thing about glyphosate, yet somehow it has managed to contaminate what percentage of derived products? Oh 100%? Oh, its poisonous? .. Seriously, if its got cotton nowadays, its got glyphosates. Not a biggie for your t-shirts, but what about those maxi-pads?

BTW, Seralini has won his last 3 cases. And proven that Monsanto paid off people to lie about it. -My point is that chemical pre-cursors are never gonna beat mother-nature. People might say fuck sustainability, but you're just kicking your grandkids in the head. There's no shortcut to doing it right.
