Kelp Extract

Super-Grow Organic Kelp Extract is made from nutrient-rich seaweed like Sargassum, Ascophyllum Nodosum, and Laminaria. It's 100% organic and is rich with natural hormones, minerals and other elements. Adding even small amounts of it to your regular fertilizer will help ensure that your plants receive more of the 80 or more needed nutrients usually missing from off-the-shelf fertilizers. Do not confuse kelp extract with kelp meal! Kelp meal is only powdered dried kelp and will not dissolve in water. Kelp extract is a rich concentrate of kelp nutrients.

The complex where I live has lost a substantial number of mature boxwoods. Two died last year in front of my place. I've been using the kelp extract as a foliar spray every two weeks on the remaining two and I'm amazed at how healthy and green they are today. - JR, User, June 2006

Mixing

Kelp extract is completely water-soluble so you only need to add it to the right amount of water using the small white scoop that is included. Each scoop will hold about 0.06 grams of powder.

To use kelp extract you can either spray it on the plant (dilution of 3000-5000 times). or water the plant with it (dilution of 10 000 times). To explain what dilution means if you are talking about a dilution of 20 then for 1 gram of powder you would add 20 times more water, that is 20 grams or 20 milliliters of water. So for a dilution of 3000 then 1 scoop of powder will be about 0.06 grams. Multiply that by 1000 so we would have 60 grams or 60 milliliters of liquid; so 1 scoop diluted 3000 times would be 180 milliliters or 0.18 liters.

If you dilute the kelp extract only 3000 times the PPM will be around 325. To put that into context my own tap water has around 125 PPM of impurities.

1. What Nutrients Does Kelp Provide?

Kelp is rich in the trace elements that are missing from commercial fertilizers.

2. Can Kelp Extract Help Cuttings Develop Roots?

It has been suggested by one person ¹ that a mild solution of kelp extract should be used periodically to mist cuttings. Another ² recommends dipping cuttings in a kelp solution instead of a commercial cloning product.
