    Default Liquid kelp or powder?

    Im wanting to know, you cant actually make liquid kelp can you?
    Its not powdered turned to liquid its some how fomented and extracted?

    Whats best? 100 pound sacks of dry kelp?

    I used the liquid and we went GREEEEN almost over night but its expensive and I have shit tons of powdered kelp.

    I do like the results.

    This is my first year 100% organic. Sweet,

    I prefer liquid ... dryed its cheaper and has a longer shelf life.

    Kelp meal (dry) is not only the cheapest, but the best.

    That's the simple, short answer. If you want the longer technical version of why liquid, extract, or concentrate isn't as good, you'll have to do some research.

    Eventually, you'll arrive back at the simple, short answer.

    Why not use both? They're both different things.

    I hear good things about the powdered kelp.

    But personally I use Maxicrop liquid and it's only $15 or 20/gallon. Price is low enough that I'll stick with it. Good in the soil and good as a foliar

    • I wrote this up for another thread but it is pertinent for here too:

      Maxicrap I mean crop liquid has chlorine in it. It is not very concentrated (1oz./gal!) and cheap. Well you get what you pay for I guess, and it still works I went through a gallon once. Their powder doesn't have the Cl I think.
      My garden gets a higher quality kelp. It costs me more $ but worth it IMO. For dry, I like Techniflora Soluble Seaweed 1-1-16 (danks Matt). Super concentrated at 1/8 tsp/4L!
      As for liquid kelp I like Thrive Alive Green (1-2ml/L and OMRI) and Extreme Serene (15ml/gal but I use more like 5ml/gal), they reach up to the lamp great with foliar application with either of these high quality kelps. I use the liquid in AACT as well.

    I used age old organics feed and age old kelp.

    Age old is great stuff. I use it on my green house because it is affordable, concentrated and works great. It is 100% organic and the formula was invented in Boulder, CO for growing organic cannabis. Their kelp is the cheapest concentrated liquid around.
