I seriously attribute a lot of awesomeness of my nuggets to the kelp.. Call me crazy but I feel like it really denses up those nuggets, really gets the plant going at full efficiency. It's almost like greasing the gears..
And I'm glad you are so well educated in the area of kelp gastanker
.. I don't know a lot about the chemistry, I just know there are literally dozens of different enzymes acids and growth auxins.. Helps my roots grow, blows up my foliage, and keeps my flowers tight, dense, and heavy... Whats not to love?
Stuff like kelp is what makes me continually lean more into organics, and soil over hydroponics... Why would I want to add a bunch of chemicals to a water tank, when I could add natural things like batshit, worm shit, and kelp in my soil to get fat frosty oil covered nuggets.
Makes me really take pride in my crop too, when I know I'm using natural things like kelp sourced across the world.
