Name ONE benefit plants get from kelp and please don't say "B Vitamins", although I have my suspicions that you probably fall for that myth too...sucker!
I'm sorry but this comment is ridiculous..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....

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? LOL LOL LOL...I dont know what I am talking about!?,... now where did I leave that 'Paragraph of the week' sign Fagg?....I just realized that you obviously have no idea what you're talking about..
Kelp meal is amazing, for you to say otherwise is foolish. Maybe not directly for the plant
Budman111 grows his plants in 'the void' and has no use for soil with minerals in it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? LOL LOL LOL
Sorry, thought the OP had a general growing question about what others used for kelp product, didn't see where the word organic came in....I'm sorry but this comment is ridiculous..
Why would anyone going to the lengths to provide an organic grow operation use backyard dirt and miracle grow?
..I might even have to throw some earth worms in the pots as well huh?
You've obviously never met anyone who remotely knows what they're doing when it comes to organic farming. My strains smell completely different when grown synth vs organ. Taste way better and are dense, because I know what I'm doing.
Not backing budman,the guy is saying that you're spending too much money on something that can be had for a lot cheaper.
I have no use for soil at all.Budman111 grows his plants in 'the void' and has no use for soil with minerals in it
Be polite and answer them then, so what kelp do you use?Sorry, thought the OP had a general growing question about what others used for kelp product
Link me a peer reviewed study that says what that website claims, not a place that is in the business of selling those extracts.This website says kelp has growth hormones...interested to hear budmans opinion
http://www.growgiant.com/advanced-plant-nutrition
"These natural hormones are ethylene gas, gibberellic acid, 4 auxins, abscisic acid, and cytokinins. They all affect the plant’s growth in one way or another, making them an essential aspect in maximum potential. If your plant is lacking growth, giving them kelp (ascophyllum nodosum to be exact) will make your plant’s cells divide faster and be inclined to grow giant!"
Snake oil or no?
Don't be fooled by sales pitch buzzwords in that link such as "grow giant" and "essential" - - kelp is NOT "essential" and if your plant is lacking growth then they are probably low in Nitrogen and also, plants produce hormones such as auxins in abundance all by them pretty selves LOL.This website says kelp has growth hormones...interested to hear budmans opinion

Nice troll stir upCan you ease up on all the "fag" stuff? I mean are we fucking middle school kids? Come on guys. Act like grown-ups.
Link to the page or its fabricated (big word for you, I know) bullshit.It's Budmans self-confidence, despite his blatant ignorance, that gets under your skin. Took me 10 minutes to find studies showing kelp benefits. Here is 1:
The effect of kelp extract on seedling establishment of broccoli on contrasting soil types in southern Victoria, Australia

This study investigated whether kelp extract from Durvillaea potatorum and Ascophyllum nodosum (Seasol Commercial®) stimulates broccoli establishment and growth. Under controlled conditions in the glasshouse, weekly applications of kelp extract significantly increased the leaf area, stem diameter and biomass of broccoli by up to 70%, 65% and 145%, respectively. Also in the glasshouse, lower strength dilutions of kelp extract (1:200 to 1:500) were most effective in stimulating early growth of broccoli, whereas higher strength dilutions (1:25 to 1:100) were most effective later in plant development. In the field, application of kelp extract as a drench to a clay-loam soil (Sodosol) significantly increased the leaf number, stem diameter and leaf area of establishing broccoli seedlings by 6%, 10% and 9%, respectively, irrespective of application rate (three applications at 2.5 or 25 l ha− 1). Furthermore, kelp extract significantly reduced the early incidence of white blister, caused by Albugo candida, on broccoli by 23%. In a sandy soil (Podosol), the effect of kelp extract was less pronounced, with only the leaf area of broccoli seedlings increasing significantly following treatment with kelp applied at the highest rate. It is hypothesized that differences in cation exchange capacity, organic matter and/or leaching properties contribute to variation in the response of broccoli to kelp extract in different soils. Future research is proposed to examine the capacity of kelp extract to offset the high nutrient inputs needed at establishment in the broccoli industry."
Just let the noobs and idiots waste their cash, after all, they are helping fund their domestic economy! ROTFLMFAO... A fool and his money... One born every Minute...ROTFLMFAOI don't know if one can say that Kelp additives are especially needed when one can achieve fire results without it.
