Sea weed & fish mix for my seedlings 36 ounce liquid!

[Bobberman]

I went to the garden center yesterday and ask for sea weed liquid. They were just opening up the boxes of the new containers of the Neptunes Harvest liquid fertilizer. I looked at all three different bottles of fish , sea weed and a mix of both. I chose the mix of oth sea weed and fish in a 36 ounce bottle for $17. Question if I put the mix in a gallon of water with a delute mix will it go bad n a few weeks? Also will a clear bottle and the light effect the mix? It is organic and I see i all over the web now and even Amazon!

I liked the numbers on the mix 2-3-1 where the sea weed mix had 0-0-0- I guess the fish mix with the sea weed mix helped get the numbers!

I figure I paid too much because garden centers are noted for that. If I find itfor $10 anywhere I will take it back. Here is a link to it. I think this will make my seedlings grow much better!

I tried seaweed and fish emulsion once on my seedlings once and it killed them I guess I mixed it to strong. I just stick to a seaweed solution until I have them hardened off outside. How does the neptunes harvest work for you I have heard good things.

[Bobberman]

I will let you know I have not tried it yet. I will use about 10 % of what they say. A real light amount is always better especially for delicate seedlings!

I use some in my bottom watering system. If you top water it may encourage algae.

I keep extra fish emusion or seaweed dilute in the fridge, and it lasts forever, well, until I need it again. One of the many pleasures of living alone

BTW, what great stuff you have started there, Eric! What are they all? When will you put them outside?

Stella, The things we get away with.

I need to be better with picture titles. These are not current pictures, but sometime last year.

Sorry for the confusion

Any pictures from DD are worth a 1000 words. I would rather see the pictures than and Double Talk from Double Dog!Just kidding! He is a well informed person and i listen when he speaks!

All the bottles of fish/seaweed fert. i have used say to use immediately or with 24 hours. I have also read that in different places. They may be wrong and I don't know what happens to it....

I drink milk past the expiration date, too

Hello Bobberman, I think a clear bottle may grow unwanted algae. Maybe a tinted container of some kind. I have used the Alaskan fish emulsion before in low quantities and it works well. I would wait until the plants develope before adding the emulsion as it may bring unwanted pests that real small plants cant handle... Eric, is your system a fabric wicking system?

[Bobberman]

Good point. I will do that and wait till they get their first true leaves!

[DoubleDogFarm]

Sorry Shawn, I think Alaskan Fish is nasty stuff. Hydrolyzed fish is better IMHO.

My shelf is a flood and drain setup. Hydroponics hybrid.

Hello Eric, My thoughts exactly. It appears to be a hybrid ebb and flow system very nice. We use a simular system on drain tables. Its a very efficient way to go.

So you guys are saying use the mix when you mix it and don't save it too long! Should I se 10% on seedlings what they recomend for plants or what?
