I strongly recommend against using more KelpMax than the labeled dose because overdosing also resulted in some undesirable side effects. Along with the multiple new leads and strong root growth the growths on most of the plants in the testing was stunted (these are visible in the photo) and some growths didn't produce sheaths. It appears that the overdosed plants didn't have enough biological machinery to support so much new growth at the same time.
The conclusion I draw from the experiment is that KelpMax used per the directions will promote new grow, branching of leads, and increase root growth, which is what I saw on the plants that were given weekly doses. I have not seen the stunting on plants given the labeled dose.
