Dude I love liquid kelp.I don't even measure it. I'm sure my plants get way more than is recommended but. Some weeks I was giving full doses in every watering. i don't try to waste it(its not cheap), or think more=better. I just dont like measuring it and have a good idea of whats an appropriate dose from doing it a year. but I'm not sweating it if i do slightly too much i do check my ph because mine raises my ph. another brand I had lowered the ph of my solution so you should check what its doing. kelp is a little forgiving. but duming and not measuring is not good advice its just what I do and seems to work. An analogy to what oragonoman is saying is giving the improper does would be like being stranded and needing to survive off a candy bar for 4 days versus having a nice meal everyday.
