Please post the results if you do try a different kind.
A side by side comparison would be cool if possible.

A side by side won't be possible until I can get another flood table set up and all the gear that is needed for it, which will be a while.

I am going to do same strain, same mother, same base nutes, lights, table, feeding schedule etc...same everything (except the season) with a different kelp and see what happens.
There is enough experience with this one strain I should be able to compare somewhat. It wouldn't be until this time next year I would be able to have a side by side completed :sad:

So I ended up buying Earth Kelp, the most expensive product I think there is for kelp but all well.
I noticed that it is AMAZING at raising PH, this coupled with silica and its ability to raise PH I have book full of "PH Perfect" mixes. With RO water 5 ml of Earth Kelp per 4 gallons brings ph up by ~ .5 points.

Anyone else noticed PH raising with the addition of Kelp? I have only used two different kelps and not sure if this is effect from all of them.

I am running Earth Kelp in my never changing flood and drain reservoir now. It's too soon to compare results but the cleanliness of Earth Kelp compared to Grow More Seaweed Extract is enough to keep me sold. I still use the Seaweed Extract for DTW mothers and clones before the bloom room.

Just wanted to throw out what info I have found out thus far.
Keep em' Green!

Budman sounds like one of them dealer we have all run into...

"I got some killer homegrown man, its awesome!"

It looks amazing, smells like hay, and wont get you high off a blunt worth.....

But it grew pretty, and didn't need any expensive nutes..... just some back yard dirt and a little generic miracle grow....

answering my questions with a question only leads me to believe you are indeed a hypocrite.

i only buy a bottle of nutes if there are cartoon pictures and spelling mistakes on the container, that pulls me in like a fly to shit!

budman recently learned the word 'electrolytes' recently, forgive him....

(Make note, thats the first time anyone in this entire thread mentioned the word electrolytes AT ALL, except for budman111)

Proper additives at the proper times increase plant yield and potency, im sorry if you havent learned that.

Yes, theres a LOT of overpriced bullshit out there, and obviously you paid for some of it, and your butt still hurts... Sorry for that... But dont go telling people to only use base nutes, especially in a thread specifically asking about one supplement... Im sure using liquid kelp/seaweed extract only ever did your plants harm, but for the rest of the growing community, when used properly, we see effective results.

Notice how your the only one spewing crap about not using it? *hint hint*

Anyone whos hit intermediate or better level of growing, will look into things like kelp, humic acids, beneficial bacteria, and many other things...

Any idiot can grow weed, some of us wanna grow quality cannabis.....

Thats right budman, you go become grammar police, seeing as how no one will back your claims, and you need to feel good about SOMETHING...

*pats your head*

Now run along and finish your tantrum....
