    if you intend to only use one product that contains seaweed, look at Advanced Nutrients Iguana Grow (this is what I have recently started using)

    http://www.advancednutrients.com/hy...ana_juice/iguana_juice_faq_nutrient_facts.php

    contains fish meal, yucca extract, kelp meal, alfalfa extract, brewers yeast, fulvic acid, High Phosperous bat Guano, High Nitrogen Bat Guano, Krill meal and Humic acid ... it also has an NPK of 3-1-3

    very good stuff .... 1 litre costs approx £20, but you dilute it at 4ml per litre of water ... (so for £20 you get 250 litres of fertilizer, and this goes a very long way if you use it as a foliar spray)

    you will not find this at your garden centre or B&Q, but it can be bought off ebay, or your nearest hydroponic store

    Hi

    I only use as a tonic now and again, but it really greens the plants up at this time of year, just thought I use regulary from late April till the end of summer to spray my tree ferns once a week folliage and logs.

    I use the stuff a fair bit for that purpose, and it can make all the difference to some competition veg. It works out a lot cheaper if you buy the bigger 10L containers:
