I build with Kelp meals and amend with extracts as needed......Methods and choices always vary and we each think ours to be better.
Maybe, for the most part. I'll bet we are not that different at all for kelp effectiveness.

Do what works for you, and be happy!

I doubt that we differ at all AFA kelp effectiveness. It is one of the 2 things bought in bulk, online, the other being neem meal.

I used exracts/liquids before I got that first 50# bag of meal. Having that much, compared to the 5# bags, led to a lot more using the meal in top dressings and whatnot, where I had used the liquids. The results, to me, were "slightly" better at best, but the ease of use and much lower cost (~$1.30/lb delivered), just morphed into not ordering any more liquids as they ran out and using the meal for everything.

But, kelp is most certainly a "must have", no matter how used.

Agreed! We do use more meals on the farm then liquids. At least in the spring on some area's. Depends on the soil report's for them and what's going in the field too.
Spraying AACT is usually fairly light, so delivery of kelp by adding an extract is not exactly effective! In reality, I feel that many of us here using AACT's are delivering FAR MORE then whats needed to actually boost the soils they build. Not a real problem in any sense but, wasteful in a way. You could use that on your lawns (for those so inclined), right along with every house or garden plant you have.
I marvel at how many "growers" neglect their yards and homes they are living in. I mean, even out here. You see the cops at one's that tend to be more "un kept" vs. well kept and tidy. Keep your outdoors nice and tidy. Grow flowers and maybe even a small set of veggie's somewhere. Blend in and don't standout.....Less attention is good. Even the neighbors will like you better!

My 2 cents on that.

Looks good so far bro. I have used the Job's organic fertilizer spikes on some auto's and it seemed to work ok. I had some other additives that I used as well but they make a pretty good base type nute.

They hit one first two weeks of flower I believe then concentrate on making flowers and buds after that

I'm doing a outdoor grow so im not sure when flowering technically starts. I want to give plenty of nutes when it hits the spurt to take advantage of this growth. So is that 2 weeks after they hit 12/12 or 2 weeks after they start to show buds?;
because they have showed signs of bud for about 2-3 weeks as shown in the pictures above, but the days are still longer than the nights in my area

I'm too lasy to roll my own so i just buy bottled veganic nutes from Vegamatrix. I'd really love to learn more about making it myself someday. Does it require a large space to produce all of this yourself?

What's a good resource to find out how to make my own? I'd love to do this just for the experience. The Vegamatrix creates the dankest terpenes ever so i'm really into the veganic thing, and I'm sure I could make it even better if everything was made fresh.

Im currently working on this exact thing! Im only in the experimental stage right now but hope to be making some progress soon. I have been making a brew that consist of silkworm frass (castings), kelp,molasses,fish emulsion,ground egg shells, and humic acid. My goal is to make a ORGANIC mirco nutrient flowering bud sweller and fertilizer!

A little off topic but I buy my Bat Guano(s) from a local compost place, an amazing one I'm lucky. I pay a dollar per pound so I can afford to use it as my Nitrogen catalyst for compost too. But I mostly use grass for that. They have so much awesome stuff I advise you to source what is local to you.
