What brand of seaweed do you use and recommend?

**mdvpc** · November 25, 2009

I have used Seaplex the last couple of years. Thinking about the difference between a powder versus a liquid. Also thinking about what to order for the coming season. Let me know what you use and recommend.

Be nice if I could spell seaweed right!

I use Seafeed and real seaweed collected from the beach.

Atlantic!

This year I used some Amsoil kelp/fish emulsion for brewing AVCT.

Neptune, fish emulsion and seaweed. nasty smell, dilute a little in a gal water

I have used Algamin kelp meal:

And PVFS (they had this in a gallon last year, but I only see
the 5-gallon there now):
http://www.groworganic.com/item_F133..._5_Gallon.html

Both worked. The liquid stuff is better if you are going to
spray it, inject it into a drip system, etc.

Since this is an extract (1/4-1/2 tsp per gallon) rather than
ground kelp, apparently the same stuff that Maxicrop
packages in their own 10.7oz plastic container for about
the same price, this might be a good buy:

I have used Seastart PGR (formerly called Seacom PGR) since 2001 and swear by it, especially to start seedlings on the road to vigorous growth.

I've tried many other brands and the only other one that made a noticable improvement for me is the soluble powder version of Maxicrop.
