What is Fish & Kelp Liquid Blend?

GS Plant Foods Fish & Kelp Liquid Blend is an OMRI-certified organic fertilizer that delivers unbeatable growth, soil vitality, and plant resilience. This powerful duo combines cold-processed hydrolyzed fish fertilizer with Norwegian Ascophyllum Nodosum seaweed to create a balanced NPK 2-3-1 formula perfect for vegetables, flowers, lawns, trees, and houseplants.

Key Benefits of Fish & Kelp Fertilizer:

  • Double the Power: Hydrolyzed fish fertilizer NPK enriches soil with essential nutrients and microbes, while sea kelp fertilizer enhances root development and stress resistance.

  • Stress Shield: Protects plants from drought, frost, heat, and pests ensuring strong and healthy growth all season long.

  • Bigger Blooms & Harvests: Organic liquid kelp fertilizer promotes larger flowers and fruits, delays aging, and extends shelf life.

  • Soil Revitalizer: Fish and kelp fertilizer rebuilds depleted soil, boosts water retention, and unlocks trapped nutrients for long-term fertility.

  • Eco-Friendly & Safe: 100% organic, non-toxic formula safe for pollinators, pets, and waterways.

Ingredient Breakdown

  • Hydrolyzed Fish: Packed with amino acids, enzymes, and micronutrients that accelerate plant growth and feed beneficial soil microbes.

  • Norwegian Kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum): Rich in cytokinins, auxins, and over 60 trace minerals (iron, zinc, magnesium) for stronger photosynthesis and plant vitality.

  • Balanced NPK 2-3-1: Supports foliage, roots, and overall plant health at every growth stage.

How to Use Fish & Kelp Fertilizer:

Suitable for all plants and application methods (foliar spray or soil drench).

  • Houseplants: 1 tbsp per gallon of water every 2 weeks.

  • Outdoor Plants: 2 oz per gallon of water every 2–3 weeks.

  • Lawns: 2–4 oz per gallon of water per 1,000 sq. ft., monthly.

  • Trees: 8 oz per gallon of water applied to soil holes 2–3 times per season.

  • Commercial Farms: 2–3 gallons mixed with 30+ gallons of water for foliar spray.

When to Apply for Best Results

Apply in early morning or early evening never in direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn and give foliar-fed nutrients time to absorb before heat sets in. Start applications at the beginning of active growth (spring for most outdoor plants) and continue on the schedule above through the growing season. For soil drenches, water lightly beforehand so the blend moves into the root zone instead of running off.

Why a Fish & Kelp Blend Beats a Single-Input Fertilizer

Most fertilizers give you one thing: nitrogen from fish emulsion, or trace minerals from kelp rarely both. Our fish and kelp fertilizer combines cold-processed hydrolyzed fish with Norwegian Ascophyllum Nodosum kelp so you get the full picture in one bottle:

  • Hydrolyzed fish supplies the amino acids, enzymes, and readily available nitrogen and phosphorus that drive fast leaf and root growth.
  • Norwegian kelp adds natural cytokinins and auxins (plant growth hormones), plus 60+ trace minerals that build stress resistance and soil biology.

Used alone, fish emulsion feeds growth but skips the stress-resilience and micronutrient side. Kelp alone strengthens plants but is light on nitrogen. Blended together, they cover both jobs in a single application which is why growers reach for a fish and kelp fertilizer instead of stacking two separate products.

NPK 2-3-1: What the Numbers Mean

  • 2% Nitrogen (N) - from hydrolyzed fish, fuels leafy green growth
  • 3% Phosphorus (P) - from fish and kelp together, supports root development, flowering, and fruit set
  • 1% Potassium (K) - from kelp, strengthens cell walls and improves drought/stress tolerance

This 2-3-1 ratio is intentionally balanced rather than nitrogen-heavy, which is why it works across such a wide range of plants vegetables, flowers, lawns, trees, and houseplants without pushing excessive leaf growth at the expense of roots and blooms.

I’ve been using this product for several years now. I always see a burst of growth after applying it. Since switching to this plant food I’ve observed that my plants are hardier with stronger stems and thicker leaves that are more resistant to pests. The bud production and fruit set is also much improved with this product. It has a bad odor (rotting fish) so I try to apply it when a heavy rain is expected so that it’s washed into the soil and not sitting on top of it. The dogs are attracted to it so secure them while applying it because they will try to lap it up.

Hasn’t been long enough since using to notice any difference, but have hope and came back to buy another gallon. Not available; found through Walmart, though.

Other than it being a bit pricey there seems to be nothing wrong with the product content or packaging. This is being mixed with other bio activating solutions to attempt a remedy at diseases flourishing in my lawn.

I have multiple raised garden beds that are elevated above the ground. Each year, I turn the soil and add a compost mixture. However, my plants were not growing as expected, so I began using a mixture of Ocean Magic Sea Minerals and Fish & Kelp Liquid Blend to water my garden beds. Since then, I have seen a tremendous improvement in my garden. I highly recommend this product for use in an organic garden.

Awesome product!!! I run a micro farm in southern New Mexico specializing in novel types of chili and "green chili of the sativa type" --- can't ask for a better organic fertilizer. You can literally spill it on your plants and it won't hurt em. I use a 10:1 fertilizer injector for my entire irrigation system and this seems to keep everybody happy. Depending on the stage of crops I will fertilize once per month up to once a week--- again you really can't hurt the plants with "too much""

What Our Customers Are Saying

Thank you so much for Orchid Love. I bought mine on Amazon.com. I have been using it for the last five months. My orchids haven't looked better. Then I discovered a secret using your Orchid food. I have been dripping it down the old spikes of my 14 orchids not in flower for the last month. Now I have 5 of my orchids sending up new spikes that should be blooming around Christmas and 3 shooting secondary spikes off the old spikes. Even my other house plants love it. Thank you so much.

I received this product in a very timely manner. After the first application this seems to be working on my fall garden in zone 7. The lettuce, cauliflower, and broccoli all responded to a foliar spray of 1 Tbsp mixed in a half gallon of water. I also applied it to my tomato plants that had slowed down due to the colder weather and was surprised to see all of the plants start setting new blooms and fruit. I was at the point of actually pulling the tomato plants out for the year but look to maybe get a few more tomato's off each plant now!

Hi, just received your kelp and humic acid per Amazon.I scoped them at 40 and 100x shortly after opening and could not believe the diversity compared to a competitor's similar products.I provide the most thorough organic lawn/soil treatments in the Gainesville Fl area, and looking forward to continuing business."Thanks for your product

— Chad Freeman

So far, my plants and microgreens seem to respond well--new growth and deeper color--to the spray I mixed with water and store in the refrigerator.
My only complaint is that the bottle could be designed better so that the liquid doesn't drip everywhere and get a little messy even when using a funnel to catch extra liquid.
It smells strong & stains, so prepare your mixture outside or on a plastic covered table.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Why do organic fertilizers like yours have lower NPK values than synthetic fertilizers?

Synthetic fertilizers artificially spike NPK levels far beyond natural amounts, much like vitamin pills overload the body with nutrients it can’t fully absorb. Organic fertilizers, however, workwithnature—enhancing plants’ ability to uptake nutrients efficiently without excess runoff. This means lower NPK numbers deliverhigher effectivenesswhile protecting ecosystems from pollution caused by synthetic waste.

How should I store your products to maximize shelf life?

Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure lids are tightly sealed after use. While most formulas have an indefinite shelf life, always mix only what you need for immediate use to maintain potency.

Do I need to water my lawn after applying your liquid fertilizers?

No watering is required! Our liquid formulas absorb quickly into the soil. For best results, apply early in the morning to allow 2-3 hours of soaking time before rain or irrigation. This ensures maximum nutrient retention without runoff.

Is it safe to harvest vegetables right after using your products?

Yes! Most of our products have a zero-harvest interval, meaning you can pick produce immediately. However, we recommend waiting 2-3 days after application for optimal nutrient absorption and flavor development.

How do organic fertilizers reduce environmental harm compared to synthetics?

Synthetic fertilizers overload plants with nutrients they can’t fully absorb, leading to harmful runoff that pollutes waterways. Organic formulas, like ours, mimic nature—delivering balanced, bioavailable nutrients that plants use efficiently. Think of it as feeding your garden a wholesome meal instead of forcing it to “overeat” synthetic additives.
