I will report my findings. So far after 24 hours, no change visible. I put it in the substrate next to a plant that's never really taken off, growth-wise. It's doing fine with new leaves and flowers, but it never really got huge. I suspect it may be nutrient limited. With CO2 addition, and I imagine plenty of phosphate, I would guess it's nitrogen limited. If so, the glutamic acid should give it a boost, unless the ammonia reaches toxic levels.
I got the glutamic acid pills at a health food store in Boulder, Co. 100 500 mg tablets cost $9.48 with tax. Not cheap, but I paid for instant gratification/convenience. Picked it up when I was running errands. I hope to find a small amount locally of the 'bakers ammonia' as well.
I have found good sources online for glutamic acid and ammonium bicarbinate.
