Hi Brian,

At Dave's garden there is this posting from Desertpalm in AZ:

now that I have researched tropigrow(Kelp extract), I can comment. I have used a product called bioactivate, which is a combination of kelp extracts and humates(basically, the key final decomposition product of peat moss), and I can offer support for the use of this product, though you should also consider the use of humic acid(humates) as well, as in "bioactivate". This combination stimulates root growth by supplying fuel to the beneficial microbes in soil that stimulate root growth of plants. I have had very good results in applying this humates and kelp mixture to the roots of my palms. I can verify that root growth(and growth in general) has been outstanding using this solution(bioactivate) for palms and other trees and plants. I have had many palms double in size(leaf mass) within 2 years using this kind of product. Good luck in your plantings, and consider that no one manufacturer of this kind of product has the market cornered. Many suppliers of kelp sediment and humates exist and they are probably all essentially similar

Hope this helps. It sounds a little like Superthrive - something I used once. I didn't hurt. I used it during planting and nothing went into shock. But anything more than that I couldn't say.

I feel, it's worth trying at least once. My only concern is with artificially excellerated growth, could that make for weaker trunk - ie: too tall and skinny?

Good luck,

Scott
