just planted some seeds in some soil i mixed up. It was 4.5L sunshine mix, 1.5L worm castings, 1.5L perlite, 3tsp of bat guano, and then i added 30tsp of kelp meal. the directions said to use 5tsp per litre of soil so I went a little less than that to be on the safe side and now after reading a bit i think that 30tsp for 8L is too much. what do you think? is it even possible to have too much kelp meal? there's no n-p-k value on the bag...

Grind..... You did not say what brand & you did not post a pic of the label/instructions....... so you are not giving us much to go on.
.
So, as a rule, it's best to start at half the mixing strength recommended and work up over time with any soil amendment. More is not better, usually less works best.
.
Better to underfeed than to overfeed. One is easy to correct, the other is not.
.
Hope this helps......
Keep it Real....Organic....

tbf mate, you cant od on kelp meal, it breaks down slowly, so ur plant hasnt even used it yet. its the same with the bat guano and worm castings, they all take a while to feed ur plants, they break down slowly, at diff times so its tricky to over nute on them.
having said that,thats a lot of nutrients to use tho for 4.5l, i wouldnt use any more for a few weeks.

if only there was a capital question mark

Grind.... Since kelp (aka-seaweed) grows in salt water, it's impossible to remove all the salt from it.
.
The danger in over use is the sodium, more than the nutes. Sodium is a highly soluble / highly mobile mineral........ Mary doesn't like saltwater..........

"A special kelp harvesting method gives this product the lowest sodium content of any kelp meal" - taken from the website of the store where i got it. so i should be fine right?
