Product Details

Karbon-12 is a premium soluble humic acid formula derived from peat and plant-based materials. Peat moss undergoes humification but does not enter the final coalification process, which means that

the complex organic compounds naturally found in this formula are very active and potent.
Humic acid, often referred to loosely as a “humic substance,” is an organic compound. It is a vital part of humus (the organic part of soil along with coal and peat). In order to have healthy organic matter,
you need humates, or humic acid. Humic acids are generally extracted from soil and can be coagulated to form solid pieces when an extract is acidified. Although they are often synthetically produced from
mined minerals, humic acids are considered to be beneficial for plant growth. The molecules of humic acid attach to mineral ions like claws, helping prevent the minerals from being locked up in the soil.
Although humic acid won’t necessarily fertilize your plants directly, it can make nutrients better available for your plants to absorb. This results in greater plant efficiency and better plant health. All this
adds up to a plant better suited to meet its full potential.

Humic acids chemically change the fixation properties of the soil. They:

  • neutralize both acid and alkaline soils; regulate the pH-value of soils.
  • improve and optimize the uptake of nutrients and water by plants.
  • increase buffering properties of soil.
  • act as natural chelator for metal ions under alkaline conditions and promote their uptake by the roots.
  • rich in both organic and mineral substances essential to plant growth.
  • retain water soluble inorganic fertilizers in the root zones and reduce their leaching.
  • possess extremely high cation-exchange capacities.
  • promote the conversion of nutrient elements (N, P, K + Fe, Zn and other trace elements) into forms available to plants.
  • enhance the uptake of nitrogen by plants.
  • reduce the reaction of phosphorus with (Ca, Fe, Mg and Al) and liberate it into a form that is available and beneficial to plants. The productivity of particularly mineral fertilizers is increased considerably.
  • liberate carbon dioxide from soil calcium carbonate and enable its use in photosynthesis.
  • help to eliminate chlorosis caused by iron deficiency in plants.
  • reduce the availability of toxic substances in soils.

Humic acids biologically stimulate the plant and the activities of microorganisms. They

  • stimulate plant enzymes and increase their production.
  • act as an organic catalyst in many biological processes.
  • stimulate growth and proliferation of desirable micro-organisms in soil.
  • enhance plants natural resistance against disease and pest.
  • stimulate root growth, especially vertically and enable better uptake of nutrients. Increased root respiration and root formation.
  • promote the development of chlorophyll, sugars and amino acids in plants and support photosynthesis. Raise in vitamin and mineral content of plants.
  • thicken the cell walls in fruits and prolong the storing and shelf time.
  • increase in germination and viability of seeds.
  • stimulate plant growth (higher biomass production) by accelerating cell division, enhancing the rate of formation in root systems, which results in higher yield of dry matter.
  • improve the quality of yields, their physical appearance and nutritional value.


Uses for humic acid
Humic acid presents several benefits to both indoor and outdoor growers. It's biggest benefit is preventing mineral lockout in the soil, which helps prevent nutrient deficiencies in your plant.
It can also anchor nitrogen and make it more difficult for this nutrient - along with others - to be leached from the soil. Nitrogen is one of the most common nutrients in which a plant can be deficient, so adding a humic acid supplement to your
feeding regimen can definitely help reduce your fertilizer needs. Humic acid also prevents the oxidation of iron, which is essential for plants to produce chlorophyll. When iron is oxidized, it is no longer available for plants to use in energy production. Humic acid is also known for being an excellent soil conditioner. It has a fantastic chelating ability that allows it to attach and bond to micronutrients so that your plants can absorb them.
