Keith, those pictures are a real joy, I am especially impressed with the walkeriana.
You are showing us mastery in progress but I told you it could be done. You have proved it can be done even better
I have no doubt that the kelpmax will have helped but ultimately I think it was you paying more attention to the general fertilizing. Not too long ago you told us you were using imbalanced fertilizer with really high N content but since switching and maybe adjusting the ph you might have seen these results now whereas with an imbalanced fertilizer, even adding kelpmax might not have produced such results.
I don't want to knock kelpmax, it certainly is a beneficial product, I just think too much emphasis is put on what it can do. It isn't a miracle potion and if a plant is stressed it will still sulk even with kelpmax. It might reduce the period of sulking though.
It's so difficult to judge as so many factors can affect things. Like most of the conclusions I made this year I've thrown out the window already because it turned out that thrips were affecting my results so now that things are hopefully thrip free I can make new observations but then winter is approaching in which time everything slows down affecting things again.
I dunno, maybe I am putting too little faith in kelpmax as since using it nearly every one of my phals is now actively producing a leaf. In the past this was always a bit sporadic with some growing new leaves, others not.
I think I can attribute that to kelpmax.
These pictures do also sway me a bit more to believe kelpmax can improve results. Thx for showing anyway. Nice varieties too
