Ascophyllum nodosum kelp talk

Indoor Growing

I moved this conversation to it’s own thread.

Kelp is one of the fastest growing plants in the ocean. It is also a bio accumulator so it tends to be packed with minerals and growth hormones.

Oooops! Correction…I was thinking of a fresh water version that is invasive to Texas Waterways. Never mind. Stoned again.

Thanks for that @ReikoX. I’m in a learning mode these days so I need all I can get before I revert back to “veg” and go on autopilot/stoned for a spell. Take care my friend.

Found this Ascophylum extract

Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract

  1. Take about a cup per gallon of powdered Ascophyllum Nodosum and molasses, in this case the bacterial bloom is beneficial since were trying to remove the o2 to create a fermentation.
  2. Put powder in bottle and mix with water. Shake until mixed well. Leave cap loose and place somewhere you’ll see it
  3. Everyday shake/stir it as much as you can and than keep lid loose again.(Remember to tighten the lid if your gonna shake it!!)
  4. Do this for 2-4 weeks you’ll notice a creamy head layer to the solution when shaken. It will also be a nice light brown color and should smell sweet.
  5. Once you can see that the life has ceased inside the solution(Lack of bubbles at top) you filter the solution so the original food source is drained.
  6. You can put this in a bottle and store it up to a year, dilute it as necessary. I can’t guarantee a nutritional analysis, but YOU CAN BURN PLANTS WITH THESE, so start low and work your way up. Maybe try it on some garden plants before you try your valuable crop. That is how FPE differ from AACT, they are nutrient extracts not microbial extracts.

Hope it’s useful for anyone interested in the subject.
