The benefits of kelp are that it is a completely natural, organic product and a source of over 70 vitamins and minerals. For this reason, it is an important dietary supplement for many people as well as being a terrific organic fertilizer. Organic kelp fertilizer can be applied to any type of soil or plant without concern for waste by-products or harmful chemicals, leading to healthier crop yields and general plant well being. Kelp Meal Nutrients The nitrate-phosphate-potassium ratio, or NPK, is negligible in readings of kelp meal nutrients; and for this reason, it is used primarily as a trace mineral source. Combining with fish meal increases the NPK ratio in kelp meal nutrients, releasing in about 4 months time. Kelp powder is simply kelp meal ground finely enough to put into a solution and sprayed onto or injected into irrigation systems. Its NPK ratio is 1-0-4 and is more immediately released. Kelp meal nutrients can also be found in liquid kelp, which a cold processed liquid with higher levels of growth hormones, but again its NPK is negligible. Liquid kelp is useful for combating plant stress.

Kelp extract is loaded with natural vitamins, minerals, micro nutrients,amino acids. A lot of manufacturers use kelp extracts in their root growth enhancing products because it is a natural plant growth regulator lending to better root development leading to faster growing plants. The modest N-P-K ratio makes it ideal to use on young seedlings and for continued use during the vegetative phase of growth. By the time your plants is mid bloom your root system should be fully developed and using it is not entirely needed depending on what type of quality fertilizer you are using during bloom it should contain all the needed macro and micro nutrients for your buds to grow.👍
