Gag! Hasn't Ed heard of TIMS Indica?
Ascophyllum nodosum - Norwegian Kelp, Common Wrack, Rockweed, et al. is a brown seaweed which grows along the North Atlantic shorelines of Canada & Europe.
Here is the analysis but it's a slow load - link
Here are the highlights...
Elements
Barium, Beryllium, Boron, Calcium, Chloride, Copper, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Selenium, Sulfur, Vanadim, Zinc
Carbohydrates - 50%
Alginic acid
Mannitol
Laminarin
Misc. Sugars
Vitamins
Biotin, Carotene, Folic acid, Niacin, Riboflavin, Thiamin, Tocopherols, Vitamin C, Vitamin B 12, Vitamin K
Amino Acids
Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic acid, Cystine, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalinine, Proline, Serine, Threonine, Tryosine, Tryptophan, Valine
Not a bad 'nute profile' for $1.20 a pound - it's right up there with Kushie Kush or maybe even Liquid Karma (this is where Boy George cues in for the effect - Karma Chameleon)

Careful what you wish for Mentor Gas
in regards to imprinting whatever on rain water, an aquaintance of mine referenced what the bleep do we know as a scientific source for why one should stir their compost tea with their arm for an hour to get the right "vibes" into the water. they said you could REALLY FEEL the difference!
Dontcha know feely is the new science. Get with it huh?
I think it's a pretty safe bet that Ed's best days as a weed-writer are behind him - way, way behind him. He wasn't all that much of an expert to begin with but he wasn't quite the worst of the bunch......
The jury's still out on that one
In what media and isn't coconut water involved now?
I kinda vaguely remember details...but not really
yeah i tried the floor-dry for cloning; quick roots but seems to knock 'em back a notch going from the DE to peat
figure just back to str8 peat
but if these guys are on to something w/ this coconut milk bit?
idk i figured on moistening peat w/ weak kelp meal 'tea' and clipping cuttings into aloe water {shot glass} tried and true w/ a kelp/aloe twist

In the Cannabis Science sub-forum is a discussion near the top about tissue-culture propagation and it's a good thread. One of the early posts has links to a couple of botany lab suppliers that sell the different equipment & materials for testing as well as the tissue-culture paradigm.
Guess what? Purified coconut water, powdered coconut water (I bought a kilo of this one), Maltose (from roasted sprouted Barley seeds) and on this one they had several versions, various auxins, PGRs, etc. and other specific isolated compounds from plants including brown seaweed.
Interesting array of plant-derived materials but they're in quite different forms than what we use in gardening.

Ha, looks like I won't be using that (compost) substrate after all. In my research I didn't find that mushrooms are sprayed so heavily with toxins. That post cracked me up, long list of reasons not to use the product and then two sentences on the positive. Thanks for the bold Coots.

You're welcome!
Oregon & Washington have a pretty good-size mushroom industry and a handful of producers are certified organic. The SMS from these operations is highly sought after but it's almost impossible to get your hands on it. There's a big demand from large organic farms so their co-ops laid claim to it years ago for producing compost for its members.
I quit looking/trying a long time ago and did what you're going to do - I found something else! LOL

I think thats a shit ton of info
Bookmarked for later use...
Its amazing how fast the dry seaweed rehydrated and then started to break down in the fresh water. So slimy is like i just squashed a slug!
So Stan,... Please enlighten us! Could you reveal your ultra homemade uber organic soil mix that made these plants so amazingly healthy!!??
You didnt add crystals to your water? Or meditate with them?
I bet I know a few things you probably threw in the mix.
A few tbsp wild Leprechaun hair
Free range Narwhal guano
heaping spoon of some foraged wild fairy tails
some Indonesian red alfalfa and avocado seed tea
And almost certainly some dried wild oregon rainbow
Right!!? How close am I to your recipe?
So you breed plants that grow themselves? suber impressive, Ill buy some seeds off you if they are at least 20-30$ a seed, any less and it loses its magic. Ill pop em and rename a few GasCan Kush for marketing.
Wondering,
FE

Invocation - are you implying you used both of those products regularly for the duration of the beautiful crops you have pictured?
