Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Ascophyllum nodosum kelp valuable for plant nutrition?

Ascophyllum nodosum is harvested from cold North Atlantic waters and is notably high in natural cytokinins, auxins, alginic acid, and trace minerals. These compounds are associated with improved root development and more uniform growth compared with terrestrial plant-derived supplements.

Can Kelp Me Kelp You be used as a foliar spray?

Yes, it works as a foliar feed when diluted appropriately. Apply during lights-off or cooler conditions to reduce evaporation and leaf stress, and avoid foliar use during late flowering to protect bud quality.

How often should I use Kelp Me Kelp You in a feeding schedule?

It can be used throughout the growing cycle, from seedling through late vegetative growth and into early flowering. Follow the FoxFarm feeding schedule for recommended dosing rates for your crop.

Does Kelp Me Kelp You replace a base nutrient program?

No, it is a supplement rather than a complete fertilizer. Its main value is as a biostimulant and trace mineral source that supports a base nutrition program rather than substituting for one.
