Alex, I brought a handful of seaweed into the house and put it through the food processor, it is now in the container with water about 1 quart including the seaweed mash, can I use it immediately or do you recommend a time frame to allow the nutrients to enter into the water?
Of course I will strain the seaweed out and put just the water into a misting container, perhaps that is when I will stir in some molasses or do I need the molasses to draw out the nutrients?. Then, I will lay the mash at the base of the plants in their containers.
That's for the warning on the rot cycle, I googled searched "how to make seaweed fertilizer and some sites have it in pails for 3-4 months before using.

wondered when arboc was going to show up.
................. I had some rhubard wine that exploded, it actually became a sweet rhubarb champagne and extremely tasty.... tasty but volatile! (like nitroglycerine)

Mark if your going to use it right away let it set for 24 hours. then mix it 2 parts water to 1 part weed. If you add molasses let it set for 5-7- days you will get a coat of yeast about 1/8-1/4 put it into your compost pile if you don't have a pile mix in the ground around your plants the liquid left will smell sweet, it is strong and will burn if used straight, the first time you spray no more than 2 tablespoons to the gal of dechlorinated water, Than you can move up to 4 tablespoons pr gal.
I mix sea weed, molasses, water, strain after it ferments. Have Fun Alex

This is a classic post. You're a funny dude, BC. Just wait till you discover the joys of crochet, fantasy baseball, and home brewing.

Ah. Sounds like you're no stranger to brewing. Take off the 'governor's share'.
Alex, thanks for the input, guess I shouldn't have mixed all the seaweed at the same time, now I got a really big bucket of sea sludge, I have a 4' X 4' composter that I just purged, there is post somewhere on THP with pictures.
I think I got the formula right, the 1 quart container has about 1/3 of the mash on the bottom, the rest with water. I can continue, mixing and blending tomorrow. I will give the kittens their first dose tomorrow.
Eephus, thank you for all your input as well, its not that I am a funny dude, I have a computer science degree(from the 80's) and diploma in software development(2002). When I went to school you had to take behaviour psychology to understand human behaviour in order to ask questions to draw information out of people and that's what I do, ask questions, to draw information out of people to identify what is important to them and if the answer doesn't make sense, ask the question in a different manner in order to get a consistent answer. I was trained formally in solution selling techniques, IBM/Xerox/Digital add all this in with my 2nd degree blackbelt, trained by Japenese instructors, my life growing up on a farm, spending countless hours developing complex computer solutions in radio frequency(before 2.4 and bill gates) and you get someone who has done a lot of neat things. Did I forget to mention my baking certificate, yep, before college and after highschool I spent 3 years as an apprentice baker. All that was to help out mankind and help my fellow humans bring out the best in themselves. Kind of funny when you think of the millions of dollars that I generated for companies over the years. I am sure my story is not that different from anyone elses on the forum.
My DNA has Italian background and thus the brewing component, I brew my own wines from grapes and local fruit, I have brewed my own beers, I set up a crochet course in the back yard for my girls to play, not sure what fantasy baseball is but don't think I would spend the time on it. My next venture is to figure out how to build a cost effective solar water heater for my girls pool. It is 15' X 48" and damn is it cold, even with a solar blanket. I have watched some youtube videos and have a good idea of what do next. I have also been studying deep water hydroponics and think I have all the necessary tools to make one like the posts you see from Yaargh.
9:30 and this is when I sent my girls to bed and I snooze as well but around 3am I will be back online listening to coast to coast and viewing THP for any new posts.

Night all,
I'll check the pail in the garage this morning and I have an extra pump with aeration stone and will place that into the pail with an ooze of molasses.
I will also strain the indoor mix and put it into a misting bottle and give my first shot to selective plants - just to test if I have the water ratio correct; I'll also add a small ooze of molasses to it as well.
Kind of excited to see if this is really going to make a difference, I have 2 fatalii seedlings that are about a half inch in height and haven't moved much in couple of weeks.

I followed that thread, I think thats where I got the idea to research GA3 & Megagrow, then started digging deeper to find how I could make a product, I found a product today that has kelp(forget the name) bottle looked like 375ml and they wanted $25.99 for it. My sludge cost $ 2.49.
I used up the first batch that I processed yesterday, then processed another batch, this time I added the molasses, wait until wifey sees that by the kitchen sink.
I actually started experimenting with fulvic acid(humic) that a former customer sent me, they made organic fertilizers and he sent me some samplers and one of their fertilizers. I didn't see any homerun results from it. Never did open their organic fertilizer - hopefully won't ever have to. (company was called Bioz Agri Products, product was called RainGrow - don't think they are around anymore).

First week completed, I just finished processing(grinding) all the seaweed and spreading it around my garden. I have the tea in a separate pail.
I have been misting some of my plants with the tea but think I will have to cut the formula as it may be too strong. Some of my tomatoes are showing leaf burn and one of smaller habs has kind of gone limp(drooping leaves) and just looks sad, I have given it a shot of epsom but something upset its tummy.
Where I have mixed mushed seaweed into the soil, the soil has taken on a fluffy appearance. I have a first year habanero that has really increased in size and a carribean red hot that has done the same. My fatalii looks larger(which is the plant that I really care about), I have 2 smaller fatalii that have made some minor improvements but the soil around them has taken on a white mold(fuzz), I think I will just give them water next feeding.
My perennial flowers have shown a great flowering improvement as have my blueberry plants, in 5 years they have never produced a blueberry, most likely due to the cold. I put some seaweed mash around the blueberries today but I have noticed a lot of new leaves.
Let's see what happens next week.
.....damn, they just announced the possibility of frost tonight, all the plants are on the deck right now after 3 days of being inside, except yesterday when I put out my larger plants for an hour or so to give them a rain bath.
