I picked up a 1 lb bag to try out. It looks like a dry water soluble resin i can melt into my nute water. Anyone try this or their other stuff before? Was reasonably priced if i only have to use a small amount of it.
Anyone ever try kelp4less Humic Fluvic Kelp blend?

I found some old NPK Raw fulvic acid the other day, so I bought a bottle of liquid kelp because of all of the controversy over PGRs lately. I'm not sure if it's helping, but I miss my transparent res water.

i tried the Ful Power by BioAG and it was like a golden color. expensive to use though : the mix rate was an absurd mL/gallon

I used to use the NPK powdered kelp, and it was really pretty when I poured it into the water. It was like a blackhole forming. The liquid kind just instantly turns the water murky and from an artistic perspective I don't care for it.
I bought this stuff. I'm not sure if it's even that good, I was just going with some random person's recommendation. The ml/gallon is also wild. I'll probably explore cheaper powders if I see any worthwhile results.

that's what i'm trying now. CleanKelp. somebody here told me about it. one nice thing about it is that it has 7 (i think?) species of seaweed while the others i've used are just 1
I'm pretty sure the only seaweed that is a true bioaccumulator is the ascophyllum nodosum or however you spell it, however there are a lot of companies that have been using the other types lately, I'd be interested to hear if it works well.
I'm also curious about the levels of arsenic in it as well, as most of the typical kelp brands you buy have enough to make you fail heavy metals tests if you use enough of it. Hopefully calling It cleankelp means it's actually clean

So far it melts into my root drench pretty well, did not notice any sediment. using about a teaspoon per 5 gal. It’s ground pretty fine. attached a pic of Amazon river water i use lol.

I like Mr. Fulvic too, it's nice and concentrated. I've been happy with Age Old Kelp lately, it looks/smells potent and tests out below detectable limits for arsenic. I like Neptune's Harvest kelp too. Never tried Kelp for Less, but I've found liquid fulvic products to work better than powder.

I’m not sure if it’s just a co-incidence, it could be a lot of things, but I noticed since I started adding the fluvic 1/4 of the plants started throwing out an insane amount of new pistils and bud growth, I’m thinking a few are going to end up fox tailing abit.
More bud overall! But interesting that really only 5 reacted severely, the rest all started throwing out new growth too but not all over the whole bud like a few did. it may also be from fixing a lockout that was happening.
