Cyco Uptake — Humic Acid Nutrient Additive for Enhanced Plant Absorption
Best for: Growers wanting to unlock better nutrient uptake and root development without complicating their feeding schedule
Our thoughts
This is a straightforward, pharmaceutical-grade humic acid additive that does one job properly: gets your nutrients where they need to go. Growers consistently report better results than pricier competitors, particularly Advanced Nutrients' Ancient Earth. At 1ml per litre, a small bottle goes a long way. One we recommend a lot.
Cyco Uptake is a leonardite-derived humic acid additive designed to improve nutrient availability throughout the vegetative and flowering cycle. It works by naturally chelating minerals and suspending nutrients around the root zone, so plants absorb what you're feeding them far more effectively. Contains phosphorus for DNA synthesis, root development, and fruit formation. Simple concept, reliable results.
How it compares
Cyco Uptake sits in the middle ground between budget and premium humic acid products.
- Same functional performance as Advanced Nutrients Ancient Earth and General Hydroponics Diamond Nectar at significantly lower cost
- Pharmaceutical-grade ingredients with 1-micron filtration — consistency you can rely on
- Thicker consistency due to humic content (note: can stain trays, so handle with care)
- Highly concentrated at 1ml per litre, so a small bottle lasts longer than you'd expect
Growers report plants flourish better with Cyco than comparable products at double the price.
Usage guidance
Cyco Uptake is dead simple to use. Add it to your nutrient mix throughout both vegetative and flowering stages for maximum benefit.
Standard application
Add 1ml of Cyco Uptake per litre of made-up nutrient solution. That's it. Use the same dosage whether you're hand-watering, drip feeding, or running recirculating systems.
When to use it
From week one through to finish. It works across hydroponic, coco, and soil setups without drama.
What to expect
Better nutrient translocation means fewer deficiency symptoms, greener foliage, and stronger root development. No burn, no lockout, no complications.
