you can argue that about the supply of coco husk and rising sea levels, and or land loss, its likely not local to you, it has carbon miles, it leaches nutrients at a higher rate than soil, it harbors many pathogens, its easy to mess up pH, its usually buffered with lime or other and so this has added CO2 pay and so on, it tricks people using it in to imagining they have a moral high ground whislt standing them out on the same shakey platform as the rest of us :) I think its hard to argue about peat and its risk to system stability while we use products in our lives which are made from palm oil and so on:)
Palm oil is a no go for my home! If it does enter my home it's through Justin's Peanut Butter! Yea everything has a down side for sure, but if I can reduce my foot print at all in happy with that. Plus to me anyways, trying new soil or trying new methods is the best part of growing. I'd say most of my interest is in soil more so than bud lol just so happens I smoke so two birds stoned at once right?
Kelp is awesome but I'll just usually bubble that with some alfalfa.
After reading microbeman findings, I tried it out and did find kelp slowed microbial development for the first 24 hours. He suggests. .25%
I go with that, I only did one test with 1 cup in five gallons.
Yea I re hydrate mine, puree it, fridge it and use tbsp a gallon for soil, and 1tsp for foliar spray. I'd say I'm most interested in kelp for the probiotics for sure. It's so easy to get lost in one aspect of microbes, but always gotta remember they need a healthy diet just like we do! Why I started the thread over molasses, which I believe to be a junk food.
