i use the brown sugar in place of the molasses. everyone was saying molasses fattens up buds and because i diddnt have molasses and molasses is made with brown sugar i figured it was worth a try on a plant or three and have been using it ever since.

can you mix a bunch of ferts together like fish emulsion,kelp tea, brown sugar all in one concoction or have 3 seperate bottles with just water mixed with the indiviual fert?

dont know why not i'd try to keep track the proportions of each so if you find something thatworks good you can make it again

you probably would want to dilute the mix a little at first to get a feel for it

does anyone know the correct place to store kelp tea, are there any things i should be aware of like not letting it sit in the sun or not letting it get over a certain temp??? thanks

You've got this backwards . . . ie: brown sugar comes from molasses processing. Thought you might like to know?

im trying to sprout some seeds and i have germinated them fine i was just wondering if i can use a tiny amount of my kelp tea to help with the sprouting, ive read its best not lay off the nutes until its a few weeks old. in the link in my original post it discusses how the nutrients in kelp aid in rooting, and seed germination, does anyone have any experience with it?

Add some B1 to it and you'll have a nice stress/transplant tea. Your plants will say-------yum.....yum........

im sooo happy my kelp fert is kicking ass, explosive growth and lush colors...i recommend people start making their own. i am even thinking about selling my own fert on craigslist, or if anyone in the SD area would like to buy some PM me
