Description

House & Garden Algen Extract is a sea kelp extract additive designed to support a stronger root zone and vigorous vegetative growth for container-grown plants. This concentrated kelp solution is a plant supplement that brings the natural benefits of Norwegian sea kelp into an easy, consistent format.

Built around cold-pressed Norwegian sea kelp, Algen Extract focuses on root hair growth and overall root zone performance. By encouraging finer root hair biomass, it helps improve trace element uptake, so plants can make better use of what’s already present in your feeding program. The result is steadier, more confident growth when plants are building structure and foliage.

Algen Extract is made from Norwegian sea kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) and is produced using cold water extraction to help preserve its naturally occurring compounds. It’s described as containing active enzymes and cytokinin, plus amino acids, alongside a broad spectrum of macro nutrients and micro nutrients. Those seaweed-derived components are often sought out as a kelp additive for growers who want more complete, plant-supportive nutrition beyond a basic base nutrient alone.

In the garden, the benefits show up in visible plant vitality rather than complicated features. Algen Extract is positioned to support vigorous vegetative growth, promote a vigorous root zone, and improve trace element uptake through stronger root hair development. It’s also noted for helping maintain better leaf colour, which is a practical sign that plants are staying on track during key growth periods.

For clean, no-nonsense use in modern setups, Algen Extract is formulated without dyes or synthetic growth regulators. It’s also presented as a good fit for soil and coco substrates, making it a straightforward seaweed supplement option for growers who run either of those media and want a kelp-based root zone supplement that aligns with vegetative and early bloom timing.

This is a good fit for growers who want a kelp-focused additive that supports root development, nutrient uptake efficiency, and healthy vegetative growth in soil or coco, without turning the routine into a science project.

How To Use

How to Use House & Garden Algen Extract - 250 ML

Step-by-step mixing and feeding instructions for House & Garden Algen Extract - 250 ML.

Mixing & preparation

Fill your reservoir or watering container with clean, room-temperature water first. Shake the bottle of House & Garden Algen Extract - 250 ML well before every use. Using the feeding schedule below, measure the recommended dose and add it directly to the water while stirring. Allow the solution to mix fully before adding any other fertilizers, additives, or supplements.

Always add nutrients to water — not the other way around. Mix thoroughly between products to ensure an even, stable nutrient solution.

Week-by-week feeding schedule

Vegetative stage — Algen Extract

  • Week 1: do not use this product during this week of vegetative growth.
  • Week 2: mix 0.3 ml per litre of water or nutrient solution.
  • Week 3: mix 0.3 ml per litre of water or nutrient solution.

  • Week 1: mix 0.3 ml per litre of water or nutrient solution.
  • Week 2: mix 0.3 ml per litre of water or nutrient solution.
  • Week 3: mix 0.3 ml per litre of water or nutrient solution.
  • Week 4: do not use this product during this week of flowering.
  • Week 5: do not use this product during this week of flowering.
  • Week 6: do not use this product during this week of flowering.
  • Week 7: do not use this product during this week of flowering.
  • Week 8: do not use this product during this week of flowering.

Tips for best results

  • Maintain pH and EC/ppm within the range recommended for your growing medium and crop.
  • Use fresh nutrient solution whenever possible and avoid leaving mixed solution stagnant for long periods.
  • Store nutrients in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep bottles tightly sealed when not in use to reduce air exposure and preserve product quality.
  • Use clean measuring tools and regularly rinse or clean your reservoir, lines, and irrigation equipment.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not mix different nutrients or additives together in concentrated form before adding them to water.
  • Do not exceed the recommended dosage unless you are following a tested, crop-specific feeding plan.
  • Do not skip pH or EC/ppm checks when growing in hydroponic or soilless systems.
  • Do not allow the nutrient solution to freeze or overheat, as this can damage the formulation.
  • Do not ignore the directions on the product label for your specific crop, growth stage, and system type.

Warnings & Safety

Warning – Important Safety Information

This product may cause mild skin irritation and eye irritation. Avoid unnecessary contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use only as directed.

General safety precautions

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is ammoniacal nitrogen (N) and why do plants need It?

Ammoniacal Nitrogen (N) is a plant-available form of ammonium (NH₄⁺) that provides a steady, gentle source of nitrogen for healthy green growth. Unlike fast-release nitrogen types, ammoniacal nitrogen feeds plants slowly, helps stabilize root-zone pH, and works well in cooler temperatures. It is commonly used during early vegetative growth because it supports strong leaf development without burning young roots. If plants show pale leaves, slow growth, or weak stems, they may need more available ammoniacal nitrogen.

What makes ammonium nitrate different from other nitrogen ingredients for plant growth?

Ammonium nitrate is unique because it provides nitrogen in two plant-usable forms at once, which can give a fast green-up while still supporting steadier uptake depending on the root-zone conditions. That matters because it can correct true nitrogen shortages quickly, but it also needs careful balance since too much can push overly soft growth and trigger pH drift and nutrient imbalances.

What does nitrate nitrogen (N) do for plants?

Nitrate Nitrogen provides a stable, easy-to-absorb form of nitrogen that supports steady growth, strong foliage, and reliable plant development without sudden nutrient swings.

Why is soluble potash (K2O) important for plants?

Soluble potash (K2O) is important because it helps plants control water use, move sugars to new growth and fruit, and build stronger, higher-quality structure under stress. It’s unique from many other nutrients because it acts more like a regulator and transport helper than a direct “building material,” so the biggest benefits show up as steadier growth, stronger stems, and better finishing instead of just bigger leaves.

Why is total nitrogen (N) important for plant growth, and what makes it different from other nutrients?

Total Nitrogen is important because it directly drives leafy growth, chlorophyll production, and overall growth speed, which sets the pace for the entire plant. It’s unique because the “total” number can include different nitrogen forms that behave differently in the root zone, meaning the same total amount can produce very different results depending on the nitrogen type and plant stage.

Is potassium hydroxide just a potassium fertilizer?

No, potassium hydroxide is mainly a strong pH-raising ingredient that changes how nutrients behave and how roots can access them, and its potassium addition is usually secondary. It’s important because stable pH prevents false deficiency symptoms and uptake stress, and it’s unique from other potassium sources because it’s used for acidity control rather than primarily for plant nutrition.

Is seaweed a fertilizer or a plant booster?

Seaweed is mainly a plant booster because it supports roots, stress tolerance, and nutrient efficiency more than it supplies full nutrition. It’s unique because ocean-derived compounds help the root zone and plant growth signals in a gentle way, so plants often recover faster and grow more steadily when the basics are already covered.
