Description
Seaweed powder that feeds soil life and drives root growth
Guanokalong Seaweed Powder (GK-Organics Seaweed Powder) is a 100% organic, vegan soil booster made from dried Ascophyllum nodosum brown seaweed, with an NPK of 1-0-1. Naturally rich in minerals, trace elements, amino acids and vitamins, it feeds the micro-organisms in the soil and carries the natural growth hormones found in seaweed, cytokinins and gibberellins, which stimulate cell division, plant growth and the development of the root network. It also improves the moisture balance of the soil. Mix it into potting soil before planting or scatter it over beds, indoors or out.
Key Benefits
- Stimulates roots and growth — natural cytokinins and gibberellins encourage cell division and a bigger root network.
- Boosts soil micro-life — an organic, vegan booster for the micro-organisms that make nutrients available to roots.
- Better moisture balance — seaweed helps the soil hold water more evenly between waterings.
- Helps plants cope with stress — GK-Organics describe it as a stress reducer that also gives added protection from bacterial infections.
- Rich in trace elements — minerals, micronutrients, amino acids and vitamins make it an excellent addition to any fertiliser mix.
- NPK 1-0-1, 100% organic and vegan — gentle enough for any organic soil mix.
Dry, Tired Soil and Slow Root Development
Soil that dries out unevenly, or has carried crop after crop, holds less life and fewer trace elements. Roots develop slowly, nutrient uptake drops and plants struggle through heat and watering stress. Seaweed powder works on both sides of the problem: it improves the soil's moisture balance and feeds the microbes and roots with the minerals and natural growth hormones that brown seaweed gathers from the sea, supporting stronger root development and steadier growth.
How to Use
- Pots and planters: before planting, mix 2 × 50 ml into every 15 litres of potting soil. Later, scatter more over the surface as required and water it in thoroughly.
- Outdoor beds: 1 litre covers 5–10 m². Later in the season, scatter it over the soil as required and rake it in well.
- In the Guanokalong substrate chart: 50 ml per pot at the start of vegetative growth and another 50 ml at the start of flowering, as a booster alongside Guanokalong Powder or BatBoost.
- Storage: keep it sealed in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I dissolve Seaweed Powder in water?
GK-Organics' directions are for mixing it into the soil before planting and scattering it over the surface later, watered or raked in. For a liquid seaweed, GK-Organics make a separate Seaweed Liquid.
How much do I need for a pot?
Two 50 ml measures per 15 litres of potting soil before planting, then more scattered over the surface as required. In the Guanokalong substrate chart it is 50 ml at the start of veg and 50 ml at the start of flowering.
Is it suitable for vegan and organic growing?
Yes. It is 100% organic and vegan: dried Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed with nothing animal-derived.
What does it work well with?
GK-Organics call it an excellent addition to every fertiliser mix. It sits in their schedule alongside Guanokalong Powder and BatBoost.
