Liquid Karma 1 Quart on the Clone Bench and in the Tent
Cuttings and seedlings are where a quart of this kelp supplement gets used first. Botanicare labels it 0.1-0.1-0.5, made from kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum), potassium nitrate and phosphoric acid. The seaweed carries the trace elements and natural growth compounds, while the NPK stays low enough to use on tender roots. The label rate is 5–10 mL per gallon with every watering, from the first rooted cutting into ripening. For fresh clones, start at the bottom of that range in the tray water or the first feed after roots show. Foliar misting runs at 15 mL per gallon, with the spray adjusted to pH 6.2–7.0 before it goes on. Mist lightly under the dome, then vent it so leaves are not sitting wet overnight. Stock plants respond well too, especially the week after a heavy cutting session. Add it after the base nutrients, stir, and take your final pH reading last. A graduated syringe makes the small doses easy to hit accurately. The bottle settles between uses, so give it a good shake first.
A Supplemental Nutrient Worth Trialing Before Scaling Up
The quart exists for growers who want to see what kelp does in their own room before committing to a jug. It is also the right size for a single tent, a clone station or a small mother cabinet. Treat it as a support input, because the base nutrient line still does the real feeding. Its value shows during stressful stretches like transplant, heavy pruning or a warm week. The label lists kelp and two mineral salts only, so do not count on it as a humate. Anyone already running a kelp-heavy organic base will see little extra from adding it. Growers feeding a full room at every watering will burn through this bottle quickly. Those rooms are better served by the gallon or larger jugs. Keep the bottle capped, out of direct light and away from heat between uses.
