LIQUID KARMA ™Bio-catalyst Plant Stimulant (FYI)
Product description and Benefits....

The introduction of LIQUID KARMA ™ represents a major and significant breakthrough in plant nutrition.
This is because LIQUID KARMA ™ contains a full complement of metabolically active organic compounds not found in regular plant foods or supplements. These unique compounds are absorbed immediately and act as regulatory signals, activators or catalysts to produce synchronized and accelerated growth under all conditions. LIQUID KARMA ™ functions as a growth engine because its high metabolic activity produces a large amount of energy which is immediately transformed to growth.

Biochemical Composition
LIQUID KARMA ™ contains seven major groups of nutrients based on their specific effects on plant growth and development:

A. Fermented Compost Solution – 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 – LIQUID KARMA ™ 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 KARMA ™: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 – 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 KARMA™ contains significant amounts of riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine and all of the other B-complex vitamins obtained from fermented yeast extracts.

D. Plant Extracts – LIQUID KARMA™ 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 – In addition to the ingredients indicated above, LIQUID KARMA™ contains optimal levels of humic acid and fulvic acid derived from leonardite. These substances are known to stimulate the growth of roots, shoots and flow-ers, by maintaining the proper osmotic concentration in cells.

F. Seaweed Extract – LIQUID KARMA ™ 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 – Carbohydrates are included in LIQUID KARMA ™ because they are the direct or indirect precursors of virtually every metabolite. Their presence provides the added burst of energy required to assimilate and metabolize all of the other wonderful ingredients present in LIQUID KARMA ™.

Benefits of Using LIQUID KARMA ™
Extensive research and field trials indicate that LIQUID KARMA ™ 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 KARMA ™ 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 KARMA ™, the product has been shown to be very effective in protecting plants from transplant shock, and in promoting the rooting of cuttings. The seven nutrient groups used in the formation of LIQUID KARMA ™ act synergistically to produce optimal plant growth.

I will reccomend it.. only thing I didnt like is that it tints your roots to a dark tan color... Besides that.. great product..

Yeah I noticed that LK dyes my air stoned too, how fast do you think it is actually obsorved? Would you recommend it with 3 part GH nutes in a DWC setup? I belive on the back of the bottle it says: 10ml per 4liters seems a little bit heavy, should I drop the ppm before i put liquid karma in?

I use LK and love it, definately helps in root developement.

Mr Wags,I never tried using it in a mister on rooted seedlings. What ratio are you using for mist application, and how often you mist with the LK solution?

I'm intrested as well in the foliar applications. I currently use it with every watering along with superthrive and it works great. But if I can expand my horizons here a bit more I'd like to, thanks ahead of thime.

I have a 32oz pump up sprayer that I can nozzle out tp a fine mist and mix it 3ml to that 32oz. I do not do this alot but have found this to help the leaves from turning yellow in the cloner and being a nice wash down for the girls in the buckets once or twice a month in the veg stage.

the skinny on your KARMA

the skinny on your KARMA

The dying of the roots is actually just the humic acid. It's what makes it black. Usually fulvic acid has a golden color. You should notice when first added your resevoir will be black as night after a day the unusable amount of humic acid (the solid humates ) will fall out of your solution to the bottom (or stick to air stones). Not all humates fall out so your water will be dark still but have more of a yellow color from the fulvic acid. The big "magic" in Karma is the humic fulvic they are both natural chelates that will bond with nutes making it easier for the plant to uptake its ferts. Also the plant extracts help add awesome flavor as well as does the humic.
I generally regard humic fulvic as a must for any good grow you will notice that pureblend pro also has a listed 7% humic fulvic. As far as availibility in europe I believe DNA seeds in a-dam is the official UE distributor.

I always use LK at 5ml/gal in my rez. I also use Fossil fuel at half the rate. Probably in the end about the same if you use LK alone but a little bit cheaper for the guys doing it on a budget.

I wouldnt compare fossil fuel to karma by any means at all. Karma is much more complex and has a huge amount of amino acids. I'm not saying fossil fuel is not a good additive but it just isnt LK

New Label LK

New Label LK

Anyone have any information on the new label liquid karma?

If anyone remembers the old label stated that the stuff had 20% humic acids. If you take a look at the new label it is only .01%.

The community was upset at this change and apparently the old formula is in effect again by customer demand(but still using the new label for FDA clerance in CA or something).

Any truth that the new label is high in humic acids like the old? Seems to work just the same.

Friendly tip for cloning. Mix up a small bowl (1/2 gal) of a mixture of water, hygrozyme, and liquid karma for cloning. Dunk your rapid rooter plugs or rockwool in the mix before popping in your cuttings. Seems to improve and speed things up quite a boit.

The label changed to match all the new labels. The old label was old and marketing waits for no one. The old label was painted by an artist by the name of James angel he does some trippy work. The formula was changed for a short time in an effort to save money (assuming) on the cost of deriving the humic/fulvic from leonardite shale also it was believed it would work just as well without the higher levels. However the real blame rests on canadas shoulders. Since humic acid and fulvic acid are not actuall fertilizers they have a hard time registering for importing. I believe this is why advanced bottles the engys f1 and h1 products in washington state.
However Karma is now back to the same formula it has always been. and the recomend above for cloning with karma and hygrozyme is good advice. As a matter of fact the highest recomended rates for karmas usage is for clones at 20ml's a gallon. Karma has also been used in tissue culturing tobacco in labs. Personally anything that can grow plants from a tissue sample is A+ in my book.

Guess I need to quit listening to the local hydro guy. Went back to using just LK and that is when I saw the diff. After this grow I am going back to PBP and the line of additives.
