Hello everyone! I normally buy from kelp4less.com who I think has awesome products but doesn't help very much when deciding what to buy. I don't like buying things that I don't need or will never use. Example 1 gallon of black strap molasses. This was suggested to me by them and even told me how much to use. I was instructed to use 5 mills per gallon in a deep water culture set up. Whoever has tried this I'm sure knows it just makes a foamy mess. After further research about the black strap molasses I find that it is not recommended in a hydroponic setup. I also wasted money buying their Cal Mag which in my opinion is a terrible product. At least theird is. It takes three times the amount to achieve the same ppm as general hydroponics cal mag. When asking about this I couldn't even get a straight answer. The cal mag that they sell also causes the pH to drop drastically and in result the pH needs to be adjusted 2 to 3 times a day wasting pH up and unneeded stress on the plants. I just purchased their extreme blend with kelp, hummus and fulvic acid. Since I was told it already had the kelp in it I wouldn't need to buy more. The problem is the extreme blend only contains 10% kelp extract. So now I am just looking to purchase elsewhere to avoid problems like this in the future. Does anyone know of any other places to buy bulk supplies like this? Particularly the kelp extract?
