How can I get humic and fulvic acid into my soil without disturbing it too much? I've only found it as a powder so I'm wondering if it will be effective just mixing it into the top inch or so or if i'd have to ruin my soil structure by mixing it in properly at the next grow.

Nitron gardening, liquid humic acid. Everything you can imagine organic (shipping is rather high. I use Nitro s nature meal for tomato 5-6-3
Thanks that is a good option, but I'm, thinking that does sound like extra work, ultimately I want to just add water as I've got other obsessions that need my time.
Peat and EWC are rich in humic substances as far as i know. So the powdered humic acid is most used as a bio stimulant with some spaced applications during lifespan of the plant.
I mean, if you are concerned about those substances in your soil, they should already be there and let the soil do it's thing. Are you running a bed or pots?
I will check the indications in my powdered humic acid and let you know the application rates for soil mix.

That makes sense I’m pretty new to organic growing thank you for the correction sorry for the misinformation
No misinformation at all, i believe that your suggestion of watering with it is good. Top dressing although difficult is not impossible...maybe it can be mixed with another amendment and better spread that way! Or mix it with some soil and top dress with the soil mix plus the humic powder.

Just add compost/ewc
I'm not sure what you mean?

Castings or high quality compost is the probably the best source of humic acids.
Thanks, I've got both both in there, so it may not be necessary to add any in that case.

thnx mate, just dipping my toes into this humic/fulvic and that's what i deduced was a good approach, just a smidge once or twice during grow just to keep the iron unoxidized and perhaps pop open some other latent nutes that otherwise wouldn't have been used by the plant.
Just a booster shot so to speak.
Good read for new growers or those interested

Best answer here. If one's compost/EWC is top-quality, one never has to worry about sourcing humic/fulvic acids. Not only is the compost providing it, but the soil itself decomposing will also provide both acids.
That said, Ful-Power and TM-7 from BioAG are amazing products. Ful-Power is your fulvic acid in liquid form, and TM-7 has micronutrients+humic acid. If for some reason you don't need the micronutrients, Ful-Humix is pretty much the humic acid minus the micronutes.
Can't recommend Ful-Power or TM-7 enough, both are incredible products.
