A question about kelp powder though - when I add it to my watering water, it sinks to the bottom. When I sprinkle it on top of the soil, they're the spots that tend to mould first. I'm not sure where my kelp meal comes from, I just bought it from the healthfood store in Calgary. Am I supposed to use some special seaweed extract in liquid form especially for this purpose? Surely not...

Anyway, I read that the suface mould (I get two types: cotton and green) are not pathogenic so not to worry about it too much. Do you agree?

Thanks for your time
You want to dry mix in the kelp powder just before moistening the growing medium.Mold is bad plain and simple,get control through strict moisture protocals!The key is moist NEVER WET!My main issue with mold is summertime humidity here in central Il.I grow outside using 4tier grow racks with 60% shade cloth.I purchased them from FarmTek.com,proper tools make for bumber crops!Happy growing!
