Humic Acid Powder, Humic Acid Liquid, Humic Acid Granular 

Wow very interesting, I just painted the lawn black yesterday figured it would be good for heat stress, great video 👊👍

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and helping everyone understand the humic a little better. For myself, this makes a lot of sense. Once again I can't thank you and your team enough for making this possible for the DIY person.

Thank you John for taking time to show/explain the difference of solution vs. suspension etc. and for the comparison of the GC H12 product. I’m a visual learner so this applies to me immediately. 🤯

My brain just grew a bit, great video with demos. Thanks for making all the content and products available to the homeowner.

You’re the Bill Nye the science guy of soil chemistry. I use your products and appreciate your use of science and explaining the process to your customers. Much appreciated.

Thanks for making this video. I knew they were different but wasn't sure how. The more you know!

Dropping the knowledge John. Thank you for just the facts. The disclaimer was a show of integrity and class. Kudos sir.

What a awesome video, growing up on a farm we used to apply micros ,macros to our crops, I thought for years there has to be some type of product out there for lawns, thank you green county fertilizer company for coming up with amazing products and explaining them very very well, the lawn care nut Mr.Castleberry, GCI, and your channel,Lawncology,I’ve purchased your amazing products and they are awesome, simple to use, I cannot say enough great things about Greene county fertilizer products, and I feel the prices are great too, I am from Lakeville mn and you have made my Lawn and soil healthy and green again, and fast shipping from LCN and GCI, that’s where I order from, so I salute you all for the awesome products and hard work that you all do, and helping out us DIY , and saving us money for not hiring a lawn service that doesn’t really care about our lawns, they just take the money and run, my lawn has done a 180 turnaround and so so thick, it’s awesome to have neighbors kids comment on how dark green and thick and soft the lawn is , my daughters friends always want to come over and play in the grass because it’s soft, bug and insect free, thanks for the awesome company and great people involved with the company 👍👍

You are the man Mr Perry my turf never look so good until I apply humic 12 ever mouth since April🇺🇸👍.

This is one of the best "show me why" videos. Clear as day. I bought 5 gallons of humic 12 from N-Ext a week before I watched this. I won't be looking for other "inexpensive" routes once I run out. Also liked your 4th of July video.

Not sure how you keep coming up with these examples. Thanks for sharing!

New customer with two bio packages. The effect that Humic has on the yard is amazing. Air8 and RGS in combo as well. FloraGreene for the wife's flowers

Excellent video. This relieved me from the burden of wondering what humate to use - prill, powder or liquid. The visuals really helped to understand the benefits of solution over a suspension. 👌🏻✌️

Wow! 😱 that was some brain blowing education right there! Thankyou soo much 👍🏾

I love Lawncology University! Thanks for making this knowledge available to us!

Great demo John! That's why I switched to all liquid products. In particular, NEXT PRODUCTS!

Another great great video. I ran out of everything but humic. I need to call Brad this week and get another package.

Watched again a season later and got so much more out of video after using all these humic products. Nice job explaining.

Interesting. The visual helps and this explains why my lawn has a layer of black on top now. I did apply granular humic.

You just dropped some jewels on us to digest. Nice example and explanation of what is actually happening when we apply certain materials to your lawn. Keep the Vids coming John. Class is in session.

This is perfect man! Thank you

You don't have to pitch any of your products to me. I already love'em!

Great video... My brain is swelling from what I learned. Going to order the Humic12. Also looking at the root stimulator that helps w summer stress and heat conditions

John, that was absolutely awesome. Thank you for the visuals, it really helps. I've been using the Bio-Stimulant pack all summer. We've had 90+ degree heat and high humidity for a few weeks here in SW Va. All my neighbors lawns (weed patches w/ k31) are brown, my TTTF/KBG lawn is lush green and I'm actually not watering that much. Last summer (w/o N-Ext products) my lawn suffered in the heat even though I watered deeply twice / week.

YES!!!!!!! 1983 and The Safety Dance! LOL I remember that song all toooooo well (still, at 55yo....great song!)

Im a recent subscriber and im learning a ton! I live in long island new York and it seems all you guys that know so much are far far west of me. ill be buying humic 12. thanks...dan from li

First of all I want to say great video for the breakdown on the different Humic/Humate products, this is what I was waiting for! I've bought a bio stimulant packs, and I've been using The Andersons DG, (those are not Andersons) but almost break down a little similar. I agree that the Humic12 works faster, however it doesn't last as long as the DG ie. Like a slow release. Now I'll tell you I use 1 application of the DG and 3 applications of 12 for the kick! I've been doing this for just over a year now with awesome results. Keep up the good work!

Hi John, was given granular humic for payment from landscape company for service rendered my choice. You are correct you need a bunch of product for one application. Now if you take your product and look at cost of application and bang for your buck Humic 12 is the way to go. I am no professional by no means just a DYI guy with a nice looking yard. We just came off extensive heat and the yard looks fabulous. Thanks for your knowledge and awesome products. I run the full line of Green County every 30 days!!!

John, excellent video again. I've watched most of your lawncology videos and the summit videos also. I'm a first year user of the N-EXT bio stimulant 4 pack and am very impressed. Although we have a few weeks of high heat and humidity here in upstate n.y. my lawn has had little to no fade in color at all. I've already lowered my N rates dramatically this year and guess what? Lawn in thick, tall, and double dark green. A funny thing also. I have a 90 pound german shepard in my back yard for 4 years now on a runner that has worn out large portions of my grass and compacted my soil in this areas. I used Air 8 (2 applications this year with RGS and Humic Acid at the max rate in these compacted areas (Heavy clay soil). My wife recently went outside and stated that it look like we had a earth quake hit the back yard as these products have broken up the compacted ( 1/4 inch cracks in the compacted soil areas everywhere...) so well. My wife knows nothing about lawn care or your products but AIR 8 does it job and its ten times worth its price for heavy compacted soils... i'm also in the process of reseeding these areas and i am having awesome germination rates and green healthy new grass. (Used all four products on the newly seeded areas at the low rates) Thank you for your awesome products.

You think the CEO of that "Billion Dollar Conglomerate who makes dry humic acid and used to despise DIYers" does his own lawn? If so, does he wear cool flip flops when doing it?

Nice Tag Carrera Chrono! Good info brother

This is an awesome demonstration and explanation. I can't say I understood everything but I definitely learned some great info here. Thanks for taking me to school this fine Friday morning, John!

Awesome video.

Great video! i really hope we can one day get N-ext products in Canada. The benefits of these products are just way above anything we have currently

First year using your product. Thanks for sharing this info. I have learned allot about humic this last year. I was wondering about the other products. Mostly because of cost and with all the hype of each. All I know is when I apply your product I can see its effects clearly in a very short time. Your video will allow me to explain the product to clients a bit better. In the end they just want green lawn right. So I am in the State of Washington. Why is it so hard to get this shipped here? I know this state has some funky rules. I am going to need to figure out a method to get some more as I will be running out of what I have soon.

Great in-depth video on the products. Thank you for giving this stuff to DIYers/Homeowners who are willing to try. I for one have tried this product (Humic12, Air-8, RGS, D-thatch and Greeneffect) specifically this year for the first time and this stuff works, plain and simple. Thanks John Perry and N-ext for the awesome products!!

Just ordered some more stuff. Think I wanna start putting down humic more often and also rgs. Wanna get this soil right

Great video

I need to try this out I think.

I dig that funky into music my brotha ✌️😎

I thought you were having a glass of Guinness for a minute.

Love the Humic 12, and every other GCF product I have used. You all make great stuff and I appreciate having them in DIY sizes.

I would love you to see you do an episode of how to improve very sandy soils. Not all of us are on clay soils.

Extremely interesting. Of course I'm not going to mix my own. The human control seems like all the work has been done for me and to the ideal percentage. So why would I Not use an excellent product that has been tested and premixed for me. This is a very interesting and in-depth discussion. I appreciate that. Thank you.

Hi John, I've commented before about my battle with rabbits. I have one area that they continue to visit and destroy. Coupled with heat stress from our 80-90 degree weather, I wanted to tear it out! Been using your products to rebuild the soil, but it was when I saw your video on going heavy with the humic12, that I had an idea. End of June I covered the entire section with burlap to protect it from the high heat, (and those little a holes), and noticed some small improvement. 9 days ago I went heavy with the humic12, watered it in, and today there is a noticeable improvement in the overall appearance. And boy, did it grow and green up! I still don't know how to keep the rabbits off, (I've tried everything) - they even sit on top of the burlap peeing and pooping like they're just waiting for it to come off :-) PS Like many others (I'm in CA) waiting for shipping to be ok'd

what a great informative video… very smart man that explains in ways us dumb folks can understand, lol.. so glad I found John Perry. took lawn care to a whole new level for me!!! Can we hang out..haha

Amazing work. Love why all the next products can do. But how can I purchase them to shop to Toronto, Canada? Let me know when you have a min Lawn Brother , Cheers

New to the Humic routine. I did not know you guys were in GA! New construction home in Griffin. GA red clay abounds. Tifway 419 bermuda is STRUGGLING! Just put down granular this past Memorial Day weekend, but I’m working on a spray rig to pull with my mower. I would like to switch out to full-solution product to try to help my soil and turf more! Also would love to see your processes some time!!

Makes way more sense now.

I had great success with the Anderson Humic DG. I have yet to try your Humic 12 product as I need a larger capacity sprayer.

I'm glad I'm not alone in mowing in sandles

Forgive me but I think you're funny. Love your products.Love the vid. Thanks for learning me!

I have Zoysia due to having 3 old 100+ year old oak trees in the front yard. I have noticed that the zoysia is struggling in the shade this year. I have just bought some N-Ext products and was wondering what you would do to help make the zoysia grow better in that area. I have raised the canopies of the trees as high as my pole saw will go to get as much sunlight as possible in this area. Thanks for your time and feedback.

I use these products and I can tell you the grass root systems are best they have ever been by a long shot and my lawn is very healthy. Roots are growing faster than the mole crickets can eat them, lol.

Thanks for sharing John! Just starting using your products this year. Your video has made me wonder more about humate as I've been looking more into it and incorporating it into my lawn. Is there any differences in humate powders? Or would most (all?) behave the way you have illustrated in the video? After watching your video I saw another video where they illustrate how quickly their humate will disperse in water. They didn't include a time lapse like you did to show if it will stay dispersed or will settle.

Wow. Never realized there was that much of a difference. I've been using the teravita sp90 soluble powder for the past year and a half at 1oz/k. Might be time to change things up

Last year I used granular humates and this year used the Next humates. While it is easy to say Humics are all the same the liquid seems to incorporate into the soil profile better, and the soil itself is much softer and more pliable. You can physically see it giving a bit as you walk on it.

How does the Humic 12 work differently from the D-Thatch. They both have different-concentrations of acid and D-thatch has N. Do I need to buy the D-thatch to get rid of thatch layer or will this humic 12 do the job?

Thank you for the demo I was thinking about getting the powder to make my own I have been using root ruckus this is my first season using humic products so far I am very happy with my results anxious to use your products as soon as they can be shipped to Idaho

What would you do to improve water retention of soil? Stick with the program and slowly improve the soil? This is my second year using Next products, and I definitely see an improvement. Good elearning video! Liquid dirt.

Since I'm in Ottawa I can basically only go a couple of routes for fert (oh, and we have no access to soil amendments.) If you were to choose between hen Manure pellets, Scott's fert with "root trients" and plain Jane synthetic fert, which would you pick?

I can not see myself without using the stimulant pack anymore. Results are evident and it pays itself. What model are those killer glasses, they are nice.

In the words of my past crush, “ teacher, there are things that I still have to learn”🎶🎵 This was good-esp for a granular gal who is not used to spraying. Now link that product and do one on your liquid product v other liquid humic products. ❤️

This may be a silly question to ask, but can you mix Humic 12 and Air-8 in the same solution to do both at the same time, if so what would be the ratio, or do they need to be done in separate applications?

Great video John! Is it safe to apply Humic 12 and RGS on a heat stressed lawn during 90 to 95 degree days?

I live in Missouri. It's 10/29/20. Can I use the Next rgs, 12, and/or 8 before winter, the first week of November Your thoughts?

The reality of all of these products is water is the carrier. The porosity of your soil will depend on how far these products can travel down with water. Fortunately we can force soil porosity with aereation. If I could I would aerate my lawn everytime prior to putting down fertilizer. The fertilizer would fall down into the aerated holes next to the roots instead of sitting on top of the soil. Water will dissolve everything so the roots will absorb it.

How can we make the liquid form if we do have 6-8 weeks of time? I just purchased 80 pounds to add to my garden, but then I was told I have to buy the Super Juice from Doc to make it work for my vegetables.

I'm laying new St Augusting sod to parts of my lawn. Would you recommend applying humic acid before laying sod (to bare soil) or after its down?

Love

Hey John. I have few spots in my lawn that dry out faster than the rest. I can tell by the grass turning little black at the end of hot day. After I water it the grass comes back to life. I’ve been using your products for almost a year now and my lawn looks awesome. Which product or products can I use little heavier in those spots to improve soil water retention so the grass and soil doesn’t stress out?

Is it ok to mix Tenacity with Humic12 or RGS while applying it ? I'm planning to overseed this fall and planning to apply humic and tenacity. Not sure if it ok to mix in the same container. Thanks for your advice.

I know what's on the label for typical application, but for those of us over achievers that really want to break down the solid clay under our lawn what is the max application rate we should be looking at? So far I have been applying the max dosage 9oz/1k once a month. Would it be beneficial to make that two applications a month?

How often can I put the 12 down on my lawn? Can I put it down during high heat or cold weather? Is there a limit to what benefit it will give based upon the number of times I put it down?

On my 2nd yr using H12 with great results. Question...have you ever taken our heavy clay GA or Al soil and demo’d soaking the soil in H12 to see the changes that occur. Any idea how H12 will interact with chirt?

The problem is that the SP-90 product is labeled and marketed as soluble. it isn't, it is just very finely milled. If put into consistent labeling with other turf products it is a WDG or suspendable powder. I think another neat test you could do it to run both the H12 and SP-90 though a brita or other type gravity filtration device to see what comes out the bottom. Hopefully I'll see you at GIE in the fall, I've had my ticket for a bit now.

Just bought the bio-stimulant package. Ready for a better looking lawn

Hi I tried making a humic acid 12% solution by trying to dissolve 12 grams of humic acid in 88ml & 100ml respectively but I couldn't get all of it to dissolve and I had a sludge remaining. How can I make a 12% solution which is freely flowing?

Omg that reel mower cut was so perfect it was 100 times better the Mr. sucks cut.

What temperature can it be applied?

How often can you apply your solution to a lawn?

Is humic a good source of organic.alot of my hay ground is lacking organic.i use the humic 12 on my lawn with the rgs.great results

What is the shelf life on your products? I have a lawn in Northwest Indiana - can I buy now and expect the product to be good next season?

Very good demonstration, John. I would imagine that you use this demonstration on sales calls because it really illustrates the differences in the products well. One question came to mind. In your Humic 12 you said that your product contained 12% humic. Why did you choose that percentage of humic and what benefit or harm would you see if it was a higher percentage?

i dont know what powder do u use, but i made 6% solutions from 90% powder and consistency looks exactly same(humic12) like a sticky glue, but maybe because i use warm/hot water ?

Can you use this product on palm trees?

I've been using both Humic12 and Humic DG granular and I find it's easier for me to apply the granular than a liquid in some cases, considering the Ortho hose end sprayer takes awhile to cover a good amount of square footage, but have certainly been spraying the Humic12 in many areas and painting them black with good results. I guess my question would be if you were comparing that in your example in this video? I personally think that particular granular does break down pretty good, no? Lastly, I know slightly off topic, but does D-thatch help or hurt during fungal stress and does Humic12 help or hurt?

Can your humic 12 be shipped to Oregon? Loved the video!!

I particularly favor the Andersons Granular with the DG technology, that takes care of your qualms with granules breaking down for those of us that just rather not spray and pray.

Do you sell Humic12 in europe or have any european suppliers?

Thanks for the video! Quick question: Are other manufacturers really dehydrating a solution to get a powder? I was under the impression they were changing the pH of the solution such that the humic substance was precipitated out of the solution. After all, that is the definition of humic acid when trying to compare it to substances like fulvic, humis, etc.

Really John, is it fare to come a VW to a Cadillac? :)

With your product being extracted from ground leonardite using a chemical process in which the humic/fulvic is extracted in an alkaline bath, I would assume its’ been denatured? Using strong acids/bases to extract will typically denature the material, prolonging the ability for bacteria/fungi to utilize it in a timely manner. You mention how the response can be seen right away, it is my understanding that it can take the micro organisms 6 weeks to 6 months to re-nature the humic material when extracted using strong acids/bases. Thank you. Nice video, I liked the Tarantino-esqe flashback/different angle with the time lapse bit....Hey man, have good one....🤘🏼

Is it possible to buy a gallon of the humic 12 without having to buy 3 other products with it ? I would really like to try some but once I build a box with four gallons of product the price jumps up to around $100 (from the link provided by Allen Hane). I just don't know that I can use all of that product in a timely manner. I have been using the Humic DG in heavy amounts and it does seem to be helping the sandy areas. But like you said I have to put out a lot and it takes a few days, with rain about every day here in Tampa, for it to start breaking down really well.

@5:58 Great camera angle. I can totally see what is happening as you pour water out of frame. LOL

Yall have any discount codes? I wanna purchase 10 gallons to spray on my 5k lawn

So humic 12 or any greene county fertilizers are not available in Oregon. What product is closest to humic 12 that is available in Oregon.

Can I use Humic 12 in a pull behind sprayer?

When will Humic 12 be available in California?

Pairing humic12 and RGS with Air8, in a hose end in 3 separate treatments but the same day, would that Air8 increase performance of these products because its allowing it to reach further in to the soil? An additional question would be how long does it take for Air8 to break the bonds on the soil surface? Just last week, I applied these 3 products together for the first time and have noticed an increase in uptake and response time in my zoysia stand I have. I wasn’t sure if I was just doing a better job with the watering in process or if the Air8 was giving me a boost. Thanks John, love the vids.
