use of kelp powder?

[Dr. Walter Bishop]

Unfortunately, I can't read what variety that is.

That makes Two of us! Unlike nori, it is unroasted seaweed. While it is a "Product of Japan", I'm not even sure exactly where in Japan it was grown.

It's what I already had in hand when I heard it might help my grow.

I am a cheap Bas$ard and make my own. See:

Thanks. Good info and answered some of my questions about this.

Do you know how to make it stay good for longer? I mean the bottled kelp you buy from store does not go bad that fast

Unfortunately no. Maybe refrigeration? I did have some that was 7-8 days old at room temps. and it did start to smell a bit.

First you have to pick what the seaweed is going to be used for, then pick the variety and processing method.
It wouldn't surprise me if some what is being sold is a byproduct of extraction and already been processed.

A five gallon bucket, a filter, sacrificial plants and a sharpie covers 90% of that lab for water extraction.
Centrifuge removes all the excess water without heat or evaporation ruining all the good stuff.
That's the key step for a shelf stable SE product.

Fermentation solutions can be made and bottled using reservoir, filter and pump.
Runs for a 7-10 days, loses half its water,foams up, filter into jugs.
Haven't done it myself, don't know the particulars.
