Kelp contains the hormone "gibberellic acid" which causes the plants to do more of what ever mode they are currently in -- provided nutrients are also present in the soil. A kelp product is never a source of nutrients unless it has been fortified. I know that many kelp products claim to have dozens of trace minerals. Notice though in the "Guarateed Analysis" on the label, these are not listed. That is because they are in a form that is not available to plants -- nor can they be made available by organisms in the soil.
