Title: Seaweed Extract Fertilizer
Post by: spuds on March 17, 2015, 02:22:23 PM: I Bought a gallon for 29 dollars.It looks and pours like molasses.I used it in my aquaponic tank.You can use it to water plants.Natural stuff for you more organic folks if that matters to you.1 tsp/gal of water.What my friend Phil had to say about it,he is a master organic market gardener,they grow outrageous produce.

Seaweed is great stuff Spuds, I use it for everything..I apply it as a foliar, as a seed soak, rooting solution...heck we had 2 pepper transplants come up with only cotyledon leaves (seed leaves)
(not sure what the cause of that is..thinking Old Seed??)
and after a week or so, one that had nothing sprouted it's first; although twisted and malformed leaves..
pretty sure it works wonders :D

Smells like the ocean,looks like pressed?Dont see any particles in it.Im muy impressed with the stuff,and fish are living fine in their tank with it in.I will do weekly pics of aquaponics to show its growth,its booming.

Found an interesting article about it,a drab read but lots of info,like loaded with trace elements and confers resistance to disease in foliar fed plants.And much more info.Rough read if your tired,LOL.
