<\/span><\/h3>\nKelp is a particularly nutritious type of seaweed. Around the planet there are about 23 different species of kelp. Kelp algae form underwater forests and grow in shallow, nutrient-rich waters. This environment is the reason why kelp is so beneficial for cannabis and other plants; algae absorb large amounts of minerals from the ocean and, when used as fertilizer, contribute these minerals to the land.<\/p>\n

Kelp covers almost all the nutritional needs of plants. It generally contains more than 60 trace elements, which are essential for the growth of cannabis. These include iron, manganese, cobalt, zinc, and molybdenum. Many of these minerals are essential micronutrients for cannabis, and although they are only needed in small amounts, they carry out vital physiological processes. For example, iron is necessary to produce energy and to develop the green pigment chlorophyll. On the other hand, the manganese micronutrient is used by plants during photosynthesis, respiration and nitrogen assimilation. Kelp seaweed is an extraordinary source of ecological nutrients to promote these processes.<\/p>\n

But kelp offers so much more than just nutrients. This algae also helps stimulate beneficial soil microorganisms. These organisms form synergistic relationships with plants; In exchange for receiving sugars exuded by the roots, the microorganisms decompose the organic matter, helping their allies, the plants, to access essential nutrients.<\/p>\n

Kelp also helps regulate soil pH, a fundamental variable in cultivation. Cannabis plants need soil with a pH of 6-7 to grow properly. If the pH is higher or lower than this range, the roots will not be able to effectively absorb the nutrients. The large number of beneficial molecules in kelp also means that this algae helps plants during the germination process, allowing them to develop sturdy, sturdy stems and branches.<\/p>\n
