When adding a seaweed extract/fertilizer (like Seasol) what is the best way to apply? Foliar directly to the leaves of plants OR directly into water based on system water volume?

Trying to give plants a boost.

I think it's a personal preference. Both methods have worked well for me.

Rairdog told me about adding a cap full to grow beds where water comes in. I did that several weeks ago and have noticed a substantial difference. I still add some to sump to try to filter through towers

+1 with Rairdog & East


Using it as Foliar sprayed directly onto the leaves is fine also, just be careful it burn if you over do it and don't spray in the sun on hot days.

Yep, in my thread you will notice a bunch of burnt leaves

Thanks, all great info - if adding to grow bed where water comes in, how often should this be done? weekly basis? Thanks

Yes, I try to add once a week and have noticed a nice bloom in growth
