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 |
