I have already topdressed with some 0-5-0 Bat Guano and EWC. My new flowers are looking healthy as ever. I have a bottle of Maxicrop liquid kelp with iron and i want to use that. I would top dress with my kelp meal, but i would like to put this maxicrop to use. I know a lot of people say to use less than what the nutrient bottle tells you. Is this true with this product, or kelp in general?

kelp is a relatively "safe" nutrient to use, in regards to overdosing and such.
Hyroot is absolutely right though.
Not to mention a kelp meal tea would have many many more micros and enzymes and so much more that the bottled stuff wouldn't.
But I do understand your desire to use the product that you already have, considering that i'd use it more so as a soil feed as opposed to a foliar.

that being said I have no experience using that product
But I use the bejesus out of kelp meal.

Maxi crop is not organic. It has the same chems as drano. Just brew up some kelp meal in a tea of you want to do a foliar. Throw that maxi crop in the trash.

All kelp has iron, calcium, sulfur, potassium, nitrogen, magnanese, phos (trace), molybedenum, copper.

That bottle will do way more harm then good to your soil food web. Trust me, your not loosing ANYTHING throwing that in the trash and never looking at it again.

Check out the B.A.S. (Build A Soil), site for "DIY kelp meal tea", or, "Coots hydrated kelp meal trick"

Kelp meal tea that's almost instant and good for soil OR foliar.

Dude kelp meal , ro water, crab or oyster shell, fulvex let the mixture ferment in a bottle burp once a week for 3 weeks to month then spray when Sun goes down once a week works wonders. Kelp folier spray and organic cal/mag

Would BioAg's Ful-Humix be an acceptable replacement for the Fulvex? Otherwise, i have all the ingredients.

Oh, i may have made a mistake. I just read what fulvex is and it sounds like its different than humic and fulvic acid. Not sure. Can anyone confirm this? It says it's magnesium sulfate, which is definitely not humic or fulvic, so i won't be putting humic into my foliar spray. Sounds like fulvex is the business though. It says it has fulvic acid in it. I don't think it has humic in it. I'll look more into it.

Why do you need to wait 3-4 weeks to use it? Cant you just brew kelp meal in AACT brewer for a day or 2? @greasemonkeymann, any input on this recipe? I also have the crab shell and oystershell. I got ful-humex mix from Bioag, but i know that product should be used extremely sparingly, cause it's so concentrated.

I think he's doing that to break down the crabshell, like a organic cal/mag
but if I were to do it that way i'd simply add apple cider vinegar to dissolve the crab shell.
but for the kelp foliar it doesn't need to ferment at all.
That recipe of his isn't bad, just a bit more than what i'd do, but i'm a minimalist
