Does anyone have experience with Kelp4less extreme blend on your lawn? Anything to watch out for? Was thinking about adding a small amount to FAS application(s) simply to promote overall health . Thoughts?

I just put some on my lawn with PGR. Not really sure how much to use or if it's doing any good. I'm applying so many things around the same time, it's hard to say what is doing what.

FAS is not compatible with Kelp4Less Humics. It will make a brick.

I'm using this blend now I have only put it down twice, so there no telling if it's working or not.

It is not for rapid green up. Kelp and Humic is for root development and soil improvement. Long term benefits vs instant gratification. I do not ever want to see St Augustine glow in the dark green. That is overfed. Medium green, thick, and steadily growing is what I am looking for in SA.

What rate are you using this at? Are you making your own concentrate, then diluting that down before spraying?

 

[deeevo]

I have wondered how this compares to to RGS. I have been very impressed with GCF products and the way my yard has responded but it feel like it's very pricey. I was thinking Extreme Blend with FEAture?

I seem to be the one asking a lot of stupid questions, but what is FAS? I've seen it a lot on here but don't know what it is.

Ferrous Ammonium Sulfate - liquid iron.

Thank you. Learning new stuff everyday. So is this the same stuff that Telly Coleman talks about (FEature)?

No. The iron in FEature is chelated, so it won't stain and is more readily available to plants in higher pH areas. If you have a low pH, then FAS is more economical to use.

For those of you using the Extreme Blend or the Humic/Fulvic blend from Kelp4Less what kind of results are you seeing? Have you tried appling with a hose end sprayer? Thanks for any info in advance.

Jury is still out on my lawn. I've been applying at stronger and stronger rates. Most recent was 5grams/1000sqft. I plan to try 10g/1k next (this is about 1lb/acre). I've been using a 1 gallon sprayer so far, since I'm only treating the most stressed 1000 sqft of my lawn at the moment.

I think I'm starting to see improvement, but it could just be me hoping things are getting better.

What rate were you planning on applying?

I called Kelp4less earlier today and they said for a hose end sprayer that I should use 1 tablespoon at a 2 gallon per minute flow rate. High rate 1000sqft. Low rate 3000sqft. Not sure if I should start with the low rate or just go full high rate. They recommended the Ortho Dial n Spray.

I'm not the expert, but I'd start at the low rate and work up from there. Too much of this stuff can turn lawns black (from what I've been told, I haven't hit that rate yet). As I understand it, this stuff should be added "differentially" (in small portions, consistently, spread out over time), and not in one big chunk.

I think starting at the lower rate makes more sense as well. How often are you spraying you lawn with it? I thought it was iron that would turn your lawn black if too much is used.

 

[Ahab1997]

Apparently, there are compounds in the extreme blend that can also blacken the turf. I'd have to dig into the formulation to see exactly which one. Maybe someone else already knows.

I applied at a low rate (1.7g/1k) on 7/21, and then at a higher rate (5g/1k) on 7/25. I plan to apply at 10g/1k to the entire yard on either 8/1 or 8/3. FYI, the highest quoted rate I've heard is 16g/1k from @wardconnor. I may creep up to that number, but I want to check that 10g/1k rate first.

16g/1k works out to an even higher rate than the 1 tablespoon (14.3g)/1k they were telling me about when I called. I am not very familiar with Connor Ward. I have seen 1 or 2 of his videos but I can't seem to find his info about the Extreme Blend. Could you post a link to the video or article. Thanks

I bought 2 lbs of "HyphaLink Nourish" from organicapproach on ebay for close to the price of 1 lb for the kelp4less extreme blend. They don't post the % breakdown of ingredients, but I will have to call to see if they can disclose.

 

[wardconnor]

Yeah... I talked to Kelp4less and other professionals that have used the extreme blend. I put this stuff down at one pound per acre. I have not seen any adverse effects from going at that rate.

I personally like the Next Products better because it is pre mixed and is clean. With the Extreme Blend you have to mix it up and strain it which is not necessarily a problem... It just adds another step.

Here is the video of where I put it down. I do not have any hard evidence or backup of why it needs to be 1 lb per acre.
