For those of you that live near the beach, start collecting that seaweed
How seaweed enhances plant growth
Seaweed is constantly worn down by tides and eaten by fish, so it must grow rapidly to survive. Studies at the University of California showed that a frond of seaweed can grow a foot a day, given optimal conditions. The same growth hormones that prompt such rapid growth in seaweed, when applied to plants as a foliar spray, can increase the speed of cell division and elongation in those plants. The hormones also increase root growth when applied to the soil as meal, or when a seaweed extract is used as a root dip.In recent turf test at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, plots sprayed with seaweed extract had 67% to 175% more roots that untreated plots. Plots treated in fall showed a 38% increase in spring growth over untreated plots and showed 52% more roots.In test at South Carolina's Clemson University, seeds soaked in liquid sea weed extract showed rapid germination and the resulting seedlings and increased root mass and stronger plant growth that seedlings from untreated seeds. They also had a higher survival rate. Soaking plant roots in seaweed extract reduces transplant shock and speeds root growth. Seaweed foliar sprays promote faster, stronger stem and leaf growth and earlier blossoming and fruit set when sprayed on leaves and flowerbeds.
Lucky i can get it for freeLike like like! This is why I buy 50 lb bags of kelp meal and buckets of soluble powder!
I stand by my statement the kelp is one of the BEST things for your plants. Not to mention the minerals from the ocean! Love it.
I think hes kinda past the scrog point no? It already looks to be a full sog so I'd trim them up minus the screens.Alright then fellas... what are your thoughts on this mess. These plants are about 6 feet from the floor. The canopy is spread with the tallest plant probably 1.5 feet taller than the shortest. I think they are done with their stretch or almost done. As you can see they have about 1.5 sq.ft. of space to deal with each. I don't think my friend is going to approve taking a whole row out, so that's out.
What I'm thinking is to lollipop them all... just cut every branch that stats on the lower half off, and trim up some of the higher branches. That should open things up a bit and get the growth to the main buds. Then I'm planning on putting them in order from tallest to shortest, and then the scrog can be at multiple levels, and the lights and multiple levels accordingly. Does that make sense?
Does anyone have any thoughts what so ever??? Any input appreciated. Strain is XXX Og and there are 4-1000w lights in there. co2, hydro.

lol font addict?Is this like Willow then, which can be used as a rotting hormone because it is abundant in Auxins? I guess seeweed has something similar if it's structure is able to increase at such rates.....
anyone notice the font has changed. Better tell Mrs DST what with her being a Font addict.

Aye, she is a Fontaholic, lol or Typeaholic...this is one of the things she want for her Birthday:lol font addict?
And dont get me started on willow again, I still havent planted any.
Gnight and Good morning.
To be honest, completely bored with this cold shit, lol.....just getting on with things. It's too sunny not to. On that note, must get on. Cheer peeps.Its all about the Auxins baby!!! Hey DST how ya feeling bro, hopefully better.
