from my research, the Bioboost is ooligosacharride based, and this triggers stress signals in the plant without actually stressing them. The stress is supposed to increase resin production. I think I was growing a jack hybrid that flowered faster than I had anticipated...

Interesting... I guess I need to do some more research on ooligosachqyerinvxde.

Hey had a question about how much is recommended per gallon with the Technaflora Soluble seaweed? also the feed schedule for it. Anyone had any issues with the the high PK?

Hey, anyone have any experience using fermented fruit extracts in through flower or during the flush phase. Currently getting some mangoes and papaya to juice

you can add some sugar (1 1/2 cup) and some yeast (1 packet dry active yeast), put it all in a gallon milk jug fill up with warm water 1/2 way and put the lid on it. (poke small hole in lid) make wine and give your plants co2 at the same time.

I normally use 1/8 - 1/4 tsp per TWO gallons. A tiny amount, stuff lasts forever.

The more I think about it, the more I believe the seaweed extract is really more about providing more micro-nutrients that many bottled, cannabis-marketed type fertilizers lack. I think may be why kelp foliar sprays seem to work so well, and have such an "instant" response from the plant. I think the kelp is providing essential micro's that are sometimes overlooked.

Not just micro's, but hormones are the real benefit to kelp/seaweed concentrates.

Great point. I kinda skipped over that, figuring it would start a "prove it" BS thread. Not here to argue, just share what I understand.

I would say the biggest benefits are:

prevents common micronutrient deficiencies

Good quality kelp extracts are full of bioactive growth co-factors and often contain significant levels of potassium and a full spectrum of micronutrients including zinc and iron. In natural conditions the growth rate of kelp is prolific, so a lot of the good stuff that helps grow so quickly and vigorously can be made available to your favorite plants.

A lot of the vitamins, amino acids, nutrients and hormones that naturally occur are in a soluble and plant available form in premium quality kelp extracts. Even lesser quality kelp extracts will contain some
levels of these. However, a lot of the difference between premium quality and lesser quality kelp extracts is in what you are not getting

^^ written by Erik Biska, and a note I had bookmarked.

He then later notes:
"Plants that have received kelp in their diets also tend to show better colorations; purple basil is an excellent example of this."

Found that part interesting.

I try and use cold water extracted vs. chemically extracted. Also, some "cheaper" kelp product can be high in sodium...

Yeppers, and I only use cold processed.

whats wrong with that? 1W diodes are much more efficient that 2W/3W diodes-- so you actually get the wattage you pay for.

2W diodes only emit about 1.8W / 3W only about 2.5

If your worried about penetration-- don't you can keep the LED's much closer to your plants than traditional lighting

Yeah, if you're growing popsicle sticks.
