Basically the only "nute" you need

Looking at that PDF looks like the values are actually coming from the salt water it’s self or at the minimum the residual left in the kelp from the salt water.

I’d certainly like to see some plants grown exclusively in kelp in an inert medium. I have my doubts they’d make it at all.

I know the ascophyllum nodosum only because it’s the most common variety at Hampton Beach in NH and Salisbury Beach in MA. It has little egg shaped pockets all along it’s length, that I used to ‘pop’ as a kid. Maxicrop’s entire business is thanks to this seaweed.


Some places pack there lobsters in it before shipping – let’s see if I can find a vendor online.
I don’t believe it grows in warmer waters.

It’s because of the threads title. He’s technically right, it’s unlikely that kelp happens to have all the nutrients in the right proportions for Cannabis. But that’s a bit excessively literal.

I’ve been using some of this - btw, there’s no kelp “meal”, they just dry it and fine-grind it. I think I paid $14 for this bag

I’ve never heard that before. Did they specify what amino acids and what if any benefit they provide? Thanks

Yes it is. At one time they had a webinar
type deal and he went in to more detail than he does on youtube. But those are still packed full of great info.
