Seaweed Bliss: Anyone Use This Product?

The3rdMan · Jan 4, 2021

I found Seaweed Bliss Seaweed Extract 0-0-17 on Amazon. It is a dry water soluble amendment which should have a long shelf life.

I've been having Potassium deficiencies in week 6 of flower and wanted to use this product to resolve my problem.

The package says to use 2-3 teaspoons per gallon of water, but does not provide any information on how often it can be applied to the soil. Anyone have experience with it?

i've been researching liquid kelp lately and kelp in general. one thing i found is that not all of them are sourced from kelp alone. some have fish bits in them too. and the K values are widely different: from less than 1 up to 20

I’ve seen 0-0-17 seaweed products before. Don’t add to your soil. This is not kelp meal. Water in. Give a little and see how she responds.

Sorry as for how often if your trying to fight a k def than see if one dose helps. Maybe wait a couple watering in between application

I contacted the company (Plantonix) in Oregon and talked to someone who said will get back to me with an answer.

In the meantime, I think 1 TSP per gallon on a weekly basis should be safe.

can you ask a 2nd question for me plz?

let's say you have 2 different kelp products, 0-0-10 like yours and 0.1-0-0.6 as the other. what makes the N and P and K values different for each product?
and would the weaker numbers still have the same amount of vitamins and aminos as the the stronger product even with very different N and K values??

I got a call back from the company and was told 2-3 teaspoons every 7-10 days.

Best kelp I've found is to use Cootz's advice, mix 1/4 cup ground kelp with 1/2 cup water, let it soak a bit, then put it in the blender for a minute, then into a jar and into the fridge, use as needed! You use more of it than the extracts, but it also has things in it that the extracts have lost, and it doesn't have all that potassium hydroxide in it from the extraction.

it's from the extraction process, most kelp products are extracted with potassium hydroxide I think, which is why there is so much more potassium in it.

I think they only answer questions about their products. It took an email and two phone calls to eventually get an answer to a simple question. Their email is [email protected].

Yes, their product is derived from Ascophyllum Nodosum and Potassium Hydroxide.

I was looking for something to quickly resolve a potassium deficiency. I can use the seaweed extract concurrently as a soil drench and a foliar spray which I think should work faster than using a Kelp amendment. I've tried langbeinite but it takes too long to work.
