I'm pretty certain that you're confusing symplastic and apoplastic pathways, while believing for some reason that nutrients and water slip between cells making up the endodermal layer in order to get into the plant. They cannot because of the casparian strip, which is like a waterproof mortar that plugs the spaces between bricks. It used to be thought that the casparian strip was there to prevent backflow, but recent research has thrown that hypothesis into doubt.It’s relevant because aminos have to pass through the casparian strip and the endodermis.
claims about aminos etc super charge your plants etc are usually based on laboratory injecting these additives into plant vascular systems.
if using them makes you feel better though feel free.
I don't see where I made any claims about specific products containing amino acids, and particularly carbohydrates? I doubt they would have any beneficial effect (and may in fact interfere with exudate signaling). Plants take up only tiny amounts of amino acids, but many plants are adapted to increase the rate of amino acid absorption when mineralized ionic sources are in short supply. I haven't bought a "cannabis" nutrient or supplement product in over 15 years. So I'm not sure where you're going with this one.
I'm more of a person of science. That being said, if you believe that some fundamental issue exists with the methods employed by literally 100's of scientific studies that demonstrate non-ionic forms of nitrogen uptake by roots, then I suggest you publish your own paper in Nature or PNAS that provides the evidence you've uncovered. It would be interesting to see the numerous retractions across dozens of scientific journals that follow if you're right.
, Now that's some serious Flush. What's next???
