So I have a plant that is decently established and I watered it today with pH water and age old liquid kelp the bottle said to use 1-3 tsp per gal. So I put 2tsp in to my 1gal of water. Am I able to use it every watering or every other watering like with nutes. My plant is a clone in veg for a week now it's strain is Banana Split in a 7gal pot. Im just trying to boost it's growth a little in the stem and branches cause right now it's a little taller rather than it is bushy. I'm just trying to have my first grow be a good one.

If you want more bushy plants then you should investigate topping, fimming, LST, pinching, etc... I usually just pinch and twist the stem until it can bend over without breaking. It is the hormones excreted by the growing tips that flow down with gravity and inhibit the growth of lower branches. All those techniques interrupt that hormone flow by removing the tip or moving it lower.

Nutes help but the two things that affect the plants form the most in my experience are lights and training. Got any pics of your girl? Also, tell us more about your setup. Coco or soil? What light? Etc.
It's a clone from a local dispensary the strain is Banana Split, I'm using a MarsHydro TS 600w, FoxFarms Ocean Forest soil in 7gal pot. Unfortunately the way the shop was keeping the clones they stretched so I want to kinda try to get it to bush out more than get taller.

I feed a 50% seaweed mix every other feed; keeps stress levels down.
Lovely looking clone btw.

That is a nice looking clone! A lot of shops let the plants stretch before cloning. As @Observe & Report said if you want that gal to bush out you should look into topping and LST.

UK market not really set for buying clones, shame really cause I'd love to buy them like that (like raising kids without the shitty nappies!) Lol
