Ok ok ok guys, let's quit the bickering it's really not getting us anywhere.

I'm sure we can all agree to this, Ascophyllum nodosum is the premier source for seaweed / kelp usages for our plants.

The extraction methods apparently still up for debate (not really, but whatever). And purchasing source is varied. As long as you're using Ascophyllum nodosum you're at the very least close lol.

You can add a couple of other brown kelp varieties that are harvested around the world as well

Ecklonia Maxima - aka 'South Atlantic Kelp" which is the species used in a true 'liquid kelp' sold under the KELPAK label which is made using a mechanical extraction method, the 'juice' is pressed from the kelp fronds.

Nereocystis Luetkeana - harvested off the Oregon & California coasts. California was harvesting kelp as early as 1880 and at its peak there were over 20 companies. During WWI they were extracting Acetone and shipping that to England to make explosives. The industry lasted until the late 1940's.

NPK is a failed system period. We have been using it for however long and what has happened. We have killed our soil and fucked our atmosphere by transferring Carbon from the soil to our atmosphere.

Anyone should be able to see that. People that have money invested in NPK fight it...but the evidence is there.

Any system not based on getting the Carbon back in the soil is going to be a complete failure.

What's the book say about the 24% concentrate coot and the triple, your research is out dated pal, got any up to date stuff while your sitting on a trash can of paperwork from the middle-ages.

You don't need a trolley if all your carrying is old news and bullshit.

You need to to check that you are on about the same Maxicrop company that I am as miscommunication is silly.

There is a false or rip off company called Maxicrop in the USA they were taken to court recently.

Where is this Maxicrop Company that isn't based in the US?

Which products are you talking about specifically...

Found the Uk Maxicrop company... bought by a company in italy in 2002.

I don't understand their need to use a hydrolysation process when you get more auxins other ways.... and my sprayer has no problem with thicker chunks.... is there something that I'm missing here?

Spot on Yosemite; Now let's lose the NPK mentality which tells us we need to feed our plants.

I used to foliar feed this stuff too my plants years ago dunno what good it was doing as I was feeding chem nutes too the roots and my plants never looked that great when I first started growing
 
hmmmm....very mysterious.
my post some how vanished.
well maybe some things are just better kept a secret after all huh guys...(my only worry is that advanced nutrients removed my post to try and reverse engineer the ingredients and make it available as part of their line up!)
