How often should you use these products?
I have the Air-8, RGS & Humic Acid.
I've applied the Air-8 once a month so far and applied the others just two weeks ago.
I have a few test plots going. So far not really much difference to be honest. I will be pulling profile shots at the end of the season to compare with the rest of my lawn. After next season I think I will do two soil tests: one test on soil from the test plots, and another on soil from the rest of the lawn. Based on the claims I would expect to see a noticeable difference in CEC. If that proves true I will begin using humics on my entire lawn despite lack of visible differences (higher CEC will let me add more calcium, which should help loosen my hard clay soil).
Can you get Simple Gro Solutions stuff there? They have a liquid kelp/humic/fulvic acid, lots of fertilizer products, I think a thatch product (or that might be lawn star).
In California and Hawaii, these products are classified as PGR's. As such, they are subject to all kinds of testing and verification similar to what Primo had to go through.
California makes it an absolute pain to sell into with all their state-specific rules and regulations. I know of a lot of people that just decide to cut sales to the state due to this. Humic probably causes cancer known to the state of California or some crazy thing like that.
Im not sure if this has been discussed but I was wondering if the 3% sulfur would effect pH levels in a lawn? I see some of the fertilizer type products of theirs contains sulfur.

Are y'all applying humic acid with systemic pesticides -- I've seen many youtubers do just that. After coming across this article I am concerned that that may be a detrimental practice:
From the article: "Both were studies that demonstrate how strongly humic acid can absorb fungicides and herbicides. Indications are that surface applications of humic acid or humate can significantly reduce the effectiveness of systemic pesticides by reducing their absorption by plant roots and soil-borne pathogens and insects."
So who is incorporating the 18-0-1 green punch into their tttf program? How much and how often? I am interested in it, but also afraid to under/ over applicants.
I am using the green punch and really like it. Sprayed the max amount of 16oz/1000 without any issues. I believe at that application rate it is equal to 1/4 pound of nitrogen so it is forgiving. No need to worry about over or under applying. Recomend to spray in the evening and water in and mix it with the 0-0-2 microgreen. Also I am heading to the obx Monday to spray a yard and have extra if you need some. Im driving from VA so good chance you might be near my path.
How's everyone feeling about the N-Ext products they've purchased? I purchased the Bio-Stim pack this year and seem to get good results. However, I don't really have much to compare them to as it's year 1 for me. Lawn has responded well to everything and I've had neighbors comment on the lawn.

Very hard to say due to lack of controls. My seat of the pants sense after trying the products is I get better quality and more resilient turf with less frequent fertilizer. Is it due to the Next products, different weather this year, the seed I used last Fall, moon phase, random chance . . . don't know. My turf greened up earlier this year and has been doing much better than usual by this point of Summer. Well enough that I plan to skip the annual overseed ritual this Fall. Something is different from prior years and at least anecdotally points to the Next products.
@Delmarva Keith that's good to hear about your less frequent fert use.. that's what the products are supposed to do as N-Ext stand for Nitrogen Extension.
I'm interested on everyone's plan on what they're using in conjunction with seeding. I'm doing an overseed and was thinking about putting down air-8 6 oz per thousand this week. And RGS (3oz/k) and Humic (6 oz/k) the day before aerating or day of. I'm thinking of doing it right after I aerate to take advantage of the exposed soil. Too much? Just right?

I'm kind of in same boat as you. This is my first year using it, my lawn looks better then last year but several factors most likely contributing to that. This summer is a lot better then last, I've mowed at 1/2 higher this summer than last. I've probably irrigated better this year as well. I've only been treating 8k sqft of my 20k sqft lawn with N-EXT products and I'll be honest visually I can't tell the difference in areas I've treated vs no treatment.
Below is a picture of my test plot. The right side has been receiving N-EXT products every month since April, the left side has just received my normal fert program. It's kind of hard to see now but there are 3 sections, far section is 100% TTTF, middle section is 100% KBG and closest section is a 90/10 mix. In both sections that contain fescue I see no difference in right side vs left. in KBG section it does appear less of it went dormant vs the left side. Again that might not all be N-EXT products though as the plot isn't perfectly even and does slope slightly from left to right so maybe moisture staying in the right side longer? Who knows

@Jameshtx it may not be necessarily a # of apps to consider on my part. This is the first year my lawn has received regular fert apps, so with that alone it looks better. It does seem like it stayed out of dormancy longer and bounced back quicker.
Hey yall, I have two month old tifway bermuda sod, in NC. I was thinking of ordering the bistim package, but was wondering if it's too late in the season to put any of this stuff down? Would it be wiser to start fresh in the early spring or buy this and put 3oz of each product down now during fall? I threw down some milo about 2 weeks ago.
