Kelp Me Kelp You: OMRI Listed Organic Kelp Fertilizer for Roots and Vigor
Kelp Me Kelp You is FoxFarm's straightforward seaweed plant food, cold-processed from Ascophyllum nodosum. The cold processing matters because the natural cytokinins, auxins, and bioactive compounds in kelp degrade with heat — boiled or hot-extracted seaweed loses most of what makes the input worth using. Cytokinins drive cell division and root initiation. Auxins handle root architecture. The trace mineral profile adds the magnesium, iron, and boron that show up in seaweed naturally and that base nutrients don't always cover at the right ratios. OMRI Listed and CDFA OIM registered, so it slots into certified organic programs without paperwork.
Seaweed Plant Food for Stress Recovery and Rapid Root Development
The salt load is low — that's the practical advantage you notice after a transplant or a hot afternoon in the tent. Plants bounce back faster, root mass holds, and the stress symptoms that would otherwise compound get cut off before they show up in flower. Apply it as a foliar spray for fast response or as a root drench for systemic uptake. It works at any growth stage, on vegetables, fruiting plants, ornamentals, hydroponic setups, and drip lines. The 1 qt size suits hobby growers and home gardens running it as a regular biostimulant input across multiple beds or pots.
Key Features
- Cold-Processed Ascophyllum nodosum: Cold processing keeps the cytokinins, auxins, and bioactive compounds intact. Hot-extracted seaweed loses most of these.
- OMRI Listed and CDFA OIM Certified: Meets organic certification standards for both certified commercial growers and home gardens.
- Low-Salt Stress Recovery: Low EC contribution lets you apply it when plants are already stressed without piling on root-zone salt pressure.
- Foliar and Root Application: Use it as a foliar spray for fast response or a root drench for systemic uptake. Same bottle, same dilution range.
- Multi-Stage Use: Works from seedling through late flowering. Mixes cleanly with base nutrients and other biostimulant inputs.
